Private Harlem Tour in New York with Local Expert Guide
patrice_c, Sep 2026
Good for private
He’s be very knowledgeable , fast talker but it’s because of the limited time of the tour, he actually took me to more places than itinerary and offered pix. He picked me up from the hotel and opted to do the driving tour and not walking. I told him to leave me in Harlem instead of dropping me back off. Then he texted me the subway route from where he dropped me too to the hotel ..I didn’t ask for it he just wanted to make sure I made it back to Brooklyn. He’s a cool dude

Great Washington DC experience
An incredible experience in Washington D.C. 🇺🇸 The visit to the White House and The People’s House was spectacular. We learned a lot about the history, the presidents, and the most important moments in the United States. The tour was very well organized and full of interesting facts. An experience that is totally worth it and that we recommend! 🇺🇸 Excellent service from Jose Luis

Harlem Jazz Tour: NYC Speakeasies and Juke Joints – Live Jazz
35carolej, Aug 2026
Great evening!
Gordon, our tour guide was awesome. He provided, prior to our tour, an outline of what we were to expect for the evening of Jazz. We had the opportunity to experience some great music. We saw and heard some great up and coming artists, (Saniyah, Danayband). We had the opportunity to visit 3 spots, which we would not have visited on our own. At the start of the tour, we walked a few blocks while Gordon provided information on the history of Jazz in Harlem . Gordon was great, he provided communication, before and after the Jazz tour, including background details on the singers and musicians/bands. Gordon did inform us, before hand, of $30 minimum at one of the bars that we visited, which was not listed in the tour booking. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Private Ellis Island Tour
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Ellis Island tour! From start to finish, the team was extremely responsive, organized, and communicative. They had everyone lined up and ready to go, and all of the little touches made the experience feel very special.Our tour guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable, engaging, and wonderful with the kids. He made the history come alive and kept everyone interested throughout the tour.But the absolute best part was that they found my grandmother! That made the entire experience incredibly meaningful and something our family will never forget.We also loved the thoughtful folder and poster—it was such a nice way to preserve the memories and information from the day.Highly recommend this tour, especially for families. Wonderful communication, an excellent guide, and an unforgettable experience!

Lower East Side Skip-the-Line Food Tour with Museum Entry
Joane_R, Jul 2026
The perfect bite of NYC history!
If you're on the fence about this tour, just book it. Seriously.Nick was an absolute gem—smart and easy going. He kept the pace perfectly laid-back, and answered every random question we threw at him with genuine enthusiasm. What made it special? He didn't just feed us (though trust me, he did); he connected every single bite to the immigrant stories that built the Lower East Side. Additional food recommendations alone were worth the price of admission.The food? Insane. We hit the pickle place (tangy perfection), a phenomenal Asian spot I'd never have found on my own, and the bagel & bialy stop that honestly ruined grocery store bagels for life. Portion sizes are no joke—you will leave stuffed and happy.The history & museum blew me away. I had no idea the LES had its very own newspaper back in the day—Nick brought that gritty, vibrant past to life. The museum at Eldridge Street was stunningly beautiful; walking through that space felt like stepping back in time, and the tour integration made it seamless.The small group size. It felt personal, exclusive, and tailored—not like a cattle.Do yourself a favor—go hungry, bring curiosity, and ask for Nick.

Memorable Evening!
Gordon, our tour guide, was very attentive, informative, and friendly. He kept us informed the day of the tour and even provided me with suggestions of things to do in the area as we were early. Gordon is extremely knowledgeable about all things jazz!I was very impressed at the end of the night as Gordon advised the owner of the last venue that it was my husband’s birthday. The band sang a personal happy birthday song to him which was unexpected and quite a memorable experience! Great tour!

Dave was a great guide, Informative and friendly. Unfortunately due to the icy weather in NY, the High Line was closed for safety. Dave then came up with a plan, he did a virtual tour, sowing us photos and giving us the history behind the high line from when it was first used as train tracks to now where it is a green space attracting huge crowds of people every year. He really went over and above for us, taking us to Chelsea Markets and Greenwich Village, gems that we may not have visited
