I'll be walking here again with I'm Walking Here Tours
Kat, the guide, is terrific. We started at Grand Central Terminal and learned its history; walked by the main public library on Fifth Avenue and ended at Rockefeller Center where we also learned the history. I have lived in New York for most of my life and never knew so much of what Kat told us. We did little bonding exercises along the way. I highly recommend.

Excellent historical perspective of the 1850s time period of NYC with changes in population, religion and lawlessness. Ramona was both educational and entertaining. It is a busy 1.5 hours with a fair amount of walking.

Before Stonewall Secret Gay History of New York City
JerettR, Jan 2026
A cold and very amazing tour
This experience was fantastic. There are longer moments of pause for stories and history in this tour. So the walking isn't over board, and the rests are great.This is great even for those that know history. There was a ton of information I didn't know, or was nicely flushed out by the guide. It also ends at what used to be a gay bookstore, but unfortunately is not anymore. There LGBTQ section is small, but unique. Tons of titles I couldn't get back home or didn't even know about. It also ends at a gelato/ice cream shop, so if you need a snack it is right there.Patrick was also fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. He was the one to tell me about the bookstores history, which was not even part of the tour. He was a nice level of serious and whimsical when showing off the meat rack. He was patient with my questions since the history isn't able to always be chronological with the layout of the neighborhood (we talked about the Gay Liberation before the Mattachine Society, for example). We went during the bitter cold, so the tablet died. However, he was able to access the photos and info with his phone, and was perfect since I was the only person on the tour.This was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to do the later part of the history tour when I am in the city next.Also, while you only walk by, I highly encourage doubling back to go and see the Stonewall Inn Visitor Center. It is gorgeous and has some nice apparel for purchase.

Z8535BDjennifera, Dec 2025
Loved our private walking tour!
Liz was an awesome tour guide on our private walking tour of downtown and the 9/11 Memorial and made our tour fun despite the rain and cold wind. She had the perfect place for us to pop in to for a bathroom break and to warm up a little. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw and explained in a way our 11 and 12 year old could understand. This is our second tour with Top Dog tours and we would definitely use them again!
