Love the history that was shared on the tour. We met new people and shared lots of laughs! Lyonel knew his stuff about the speakeasies we toured, but even better he incorporated great party trivia into the mix!

Jackie C

Very informational and full of history tidbits. We visited three different places, but I would have enjoyed more. Would go again.

JoAnn_K

I highly recommend this activity! Alex was very knowledgable and the speakeasies he took us too were wonderful and had amazing drinks. It was my friend and I's last night in New York and it was a great way to cap off our visit. If you're looking for something different to do and to see some hidden gems, check out this tour!

Intriguing tour through the backside of prohibiton. Lyonel opened those doors you wouldn't find on your own to augment the great scenery and flair of the speakeasys with stories and insights about the 1920 era. Much enjoyed the tour, the drinks and the company.

Maura_B

Alex was extremely knowledgeable and friendly , multi-lingual too! The speakeasys we visited were quite interesting!

Michelle_B

We were excited about this adventure but were disappointed. The tour only goes to one actual speakeasy. The other two places are interesting bars but nothing special. In fact, the tongue made it clear before going to the last stop that he wasn’t staying. No one in our group stayed.

Jade_S

The tour was alright. We went to 2/3 places because the last place was closed. The 2 we did go to were nice. The tour guide, Jett, can be rude though and I wouldn’t recommend this to my friends for fear they’d have a similar experience.

Guide was fun, knowledgeable, and efficient! Only consideration for maybe future choices was last bar was wildly hot and I couldn't hang out there too long
