This is our fifth time using CityRover. We have also recommended it to countless friends. Dan did a wonderful job personalizing our tour taking us to both Central Park and then to the 9/11 memorial. He has a vast knowledge of the city with the ability to customize the tour to meet our needs. I would never use any other walking tour.

Max was amazing. My four friends and I were with Max for three hours as we walked through Central Park leaning about the rich history of the Park. I have been to Central Park many times and had no real appreciation for the history and stories surrounding the park. Max is knowledgeable , engaging , entertaining... we saw and heard about areas in the Park that I had no idea of. The tour was the highlight of our 6 days in NYC. (and yes, warm donuts to start the tour was a lovely added touch) We all agreed that the next time we each visit New York with our families we will definitely book another private tour with Max. It will be tough to decide which tour next time.. so many great possibilities. Thank you Max!

We did a private tour with Max and he let us customize the tour, we called it our walking foodie tour. There were 4 of us and we had an amazing time. Max was very informative and fun, he kept our attention and we all had a great NYC experience. We were going to see Hamilton so he through in some Hamilton history spots as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a fun versatile tour of NYC. We ate some amazing bakery foods and ended up at a pub that was excellent. Would do this all over again!

We booked two private tours with Max who is able to customize to your own needs and interests which is damm handy. Ie we paid for an extra hour for Max to give us some do’s and dont’s in NY and help us get bearings as first time NYC tourists. His help saved alot of time and energy. The tours themselves are outstanding and you wont be disappointed with plethora of history that you would miss viewing by yourself. Reasonable fitness required but nothing thay the average person couldnt cope with. Both guides Max and Ryan were terrific and certainly enhanced our NY holiday. Cheers guys!!!
