Gary was an absolute gem! He greeted us with energy and enthusiasm and was full of amazing stories and humour. His knowledge and passion were immense and he had some brilliant and illuminating pictures on his iPad. Hugely enjoyable tour which we were so glad we’d had. Gary also roused our interest to explore many other places in the limited time we had in NYC. An absolute joy… Thankyou !

Philippa_C

Gary was an amazing tour guide and brought to life so much about the political and economic history surrounding the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO. it was an awesome tour and even our son, who is 20, really enjoyed the experience. Those of you with 20 year olds will know that's not something you'd often hear! Gary was an all-round brilliant guy and helped us immensely in navigating our way back as we'd booked trips back to back not really understanding the proximity in geographical locations between the two. Gary, you were amazing - keep going and enjoy. We hope to meet you again one day.

The Guided Walking Tour of the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO was my second private tour with Gary. His tours are excellent! Gary is very personable and knowledgeable. It's hard to imagine going to NYC and not signing up for one of Gary's tours. It's a great value for the experience and will be a highlight of your trip!
