Christopher Lee was an amazing guide! This tour was great! Maybe a bit too long but we saw so many important things- 9/11, Central Park, Statue of Liberty

Christopher Lee was a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, witty and genuinely cares about our experience. I brought my teenaged daughter who had never been to NYC. I had been several times but even learned a lot too!

Ray our tour guide was a walking history book. We truly came away with a great appreciation for the telling of the history of NYC.

We had trouble finding which bus was ours and was late for the tour.A sign in the window would have helped. Went by the bus three times. Chris Lee, the tour guide did try to call us and I missed the call. Called the company and they had him connect with me. It was great that the first sight was the he Cathedral a block away which gave us the needed time to connect with the tour. Once we connected, Chris was very amiable and helpful. Really enjoyed having a live tour guide that was entertaining and knowledgeable and not a recorded tour. A recorded tour would never have been able to accommodate my needs. I am handicapped and walk with a walker and Chris went out of his way to accommodate me. During the walking part of the tour he explained what it would consist of and possible shorter alternatives or staying on the bus. Mostly I stayed on the bus except going to Staten Island and Strawberry Fields. I definitely would take a tour with Chris again. He was a gem. Highly recommend this tour to anyone. My boyfriend who is not handicapped thoroughly enjoyed the walking tours and was excited to tell me his experiences. Extremely positive, memorable experience.
