A Walk Up Broadway Tour
I’ve lived in New York all of my life and never knew the rich history this part of the city had to offer. My favorite themes were New York before, during, and after the American Revolution and the African Burial Ground Memorial. Our tour guide, Ed, was amazing and his wealth of knowledge made this tour something I will never forget. I highly recommend the Walk up Broadway tour!

Broadway Historical Walking Tour
P9751OBpamr, Jul 2026
Superb introduction to NYC History and Architecture
Ed Welter, a fully licensed NYC tour guide with a construction background , offers an extraordinary, highly informative and enjoyable experience in the way only a seasoned NYC native can. I’ve lived in NYC my whole life, worked in lower Manhattan throughout my entire career , and have a decent knowledge of NYC history and architecture from other walking tours and personal reading. I learned things during Ed’s tour along lower Broadway that astonished me. He’s passionate about NYC and offers a unique opportunity to roll centuries of insightful history into a two-hour walking tour of the very highest quality which will enhance not only the appreciation of visitors, but also native NYers.I’ve also taken Ed’s exceptional tour of the FW Woolworth building which is usually off limits to visitors. I highly recommend this fantastic historical/architectural tour to visitors and NYC residents alike.

The guide was eclectic, knowledgeable, it was an intimate experience, and we loved it! We plan on taking at least two more of her tours in the coming months because of how good this one was. The company was also great! The tour group, after the tour, meshed so well that we all grabbed brunch nearby to digest the tour.

NYC Pride Highlights LGBTQ+ Walking Tour

Do not miss this tour
This tour far exceeded my expectations. There is something truly powerful about hearing the history of Stonewall while standing exactly where it unfolded. I was particularly struck by the stories of the many unsung figures whose names often get left out of the history books. As an ally, I’m always looking to deepen my knowledge, and this experience provided me with the historical facts and context needed to confidently speak up against misinformation and homophobia.

Great and informative tour!
Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought so much energy to the experience; it made the entire hour feel engaging, meaningful, and fun from start to finish. Exploring the village was truly special. I already knew the area was iconic, but I was blown away by how much more there was to learn about LGBTQ+ history. If you're visiting New York City and want something impactful but easy to fit into your schedule, this tour is perfect.

We did this audio walking tour with our family and had a great time. It was a fun and easy way to explore Wall Street while learning interesting facts about the area. The audio guide was clear and well organized, and we loved being able to move at our own pace. Definitely a great activity to do with family while visiting New York.

Surveillance, Propaganda & Control Tour of Midtown Manhattan
Tom N, Mar 2026
The best of NYC
I’ve taken just about every Purefinder tour, most recently Surveillance in Manhattan. All, including that one, have been superb. The beauty of the Purefinder tours is that they tell you what you really want to know about New York City — even though before the tour you didn’t KNOW you wanted to know that stuff. Surveillance was surprising , enlightening, fascinating and beautifully structured. There are no better New York tours, for locals and visitors alike.

We were in New York during the most festive time of the year. The tour guide had a unique storytelling ability which created an engaging atmosphere. New York’s streets were bustling and we visit some important landmarks as well as some lesser-known but beautifully decorated neighborhoods. Overall, it was a fun way to experience the holiday season in New York.
