Interesting and diverse!
What a wonderful experience this tour was! It was such a pleasure to travel for four hours with José through this interesting, extremely diverse borough. It may seem long, but don't let that stop you, the tour has a relaxed pace and there are also coffeebreaks with chats about the city. Would highly recommend if you want to see more of NYC than the average tourist!

Empire Trail Magic
This year was our fourth annual Bike Trip with friends. We had not heard of the Empire Trail, but Gotham convinced us. They were 150% right. The trail is wonderful, shaded paths through parks, old trellis bridges, rolling farmlands and food that is much better than the more prestigious GAP, C&O and Katy. Gotham did an amazing job coordinating all our needs. Most importantly the bikes were great, which really matters when you are riding over 300 miles. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.

A fascinating deep dive into life in the former Five Points of NYC
The "Sewage, Sex, and Sickness in the Five Points" walking tour is a fascinating deep dive into the unknown corners of what was once the most densely populated neighborhood in New York City. Learning about the trials and tribulations that immigrants had to deal with on a daily basis, gives us a new-found appreciation for social safety nets and access to healthcare. Suzanne's well-researched tour is intriguing and informative -- with irreverent humor thrown in for good measure! Highly recommended!

Sewage, Sex, and Sickness in the Five Points
ItsDeborahNYC, Jun 2026
SUSANNE'S "Sewage, Sex and Sickness"
Susanne's tour is a delicious—and, on occasion, delightfully disgusting (hey, we're talking about 19th-century sewage here!) —journey back to 19th-century New York. She combines deep knowledge of the period with a sense of whimsy, delivering a narration that is always easy to hear and enriched by a fascinating collection of historical photos and images from the era. To help visitors visualize long-gone sites such as Cow Bay and Paradise Square, she also distributes vintage maps of the area, bringing the city's past vividly to life. In preparing this tour, she has ventured down countless historical rabbit holes—and you'll thoroughly enjoy exploring them alongside her.

Cool stories from an awesome guide
A revelatory morning in the Village! Nick knew just where to go. As we walked, he unspooled a fascinating narrative about a super cool neighborhood, from its beginnings to the present day. Hidden stories from behind the scenes full of stuff we never would have learned on our own. Highly recommended. (P.S. ask Nick where to go to eat after, he has great recs.)

Nick was a terrific guide! I’m a history teacher and I learned an amazing amount. The tour is not just the usual touristy info—it’s a real story about what NYC is, was, and could be. We had a great time and we’re looking forward to another tour soon! Highly recommended.

Super Hero Tour of NYC for a win!
Jon was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging! We got so much more out of our NYC tour than we ever would have exploring on our own. I highly recommend him. Our group included me (47), my son (27), three women in their mid‑twenties, and a toddler, and every single one of us walked away having learned something new. Jon’s expertise on the city, paired with his fun superhero factoids, made the experience unforgettable.

Experience from WAU!
The tour with Andrea showed us a new and multicultural side of nyc. You're at nyc without knowing you're nyc. Because most of the time it seems to cross different worlds. Take a trip in the journey. With the confidence to cross it with an expert guide who guides you to discover corners of the world that do not exist. Absolutely recommended indeed an obligation to do it if you are planning a trip to nyc.
