Another phenomenal walking tour
Once again I spent an enlightening 2 hours on a Bowery Boys walking tour. Over half the people on the tour were from the NYC area. Despite this we all walked away having learned so much. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. She was very sensitive to the fact that it was a humid day. She did a great job finding shady spots when we stopped to learn more about a building.I have been on many of the Bower Boys' tours and each one has been consistently outstanding. I feel like I am learning so much about my City despite having been born here. Listening to the podcast that is on a topic covered in a walking tour enhanxces the walking tour experience.These tours have been gems. I share this information with many friends as there is so much to enjoy and learn at the same time.

Do yourself a favor and book with NYC Five Boro Tours!
WOW! Do yourself a favor and book a tour with Five Boro Tours. This was our family's first time to NYC, and because of this amazing tour we were able to see so many sites and get to know the city so well, which we would never been able to do on our own! Highly recommend Jose and his team at Five Boro Tours! Jose was an incredible tour guide. He has great energy, was extremely communicative while planning our tour (emailed back and forth and asked us what we wanted to see and tailored the trip to our needs), he was very flexible if we wanted to make any changes during our tour (spend extra time somewhere, stop for ice cream, take a break, etc), and is sooooo full of historical facts on everything we were viewing! He was great with the kids, capturing their attention with his great facts! Thank you Jose for such a memorable and fun experience! Highly recommend!

I’ve done two custom tours with Nicky—one with a small group and another with a larger crowd. He was incredible in both settings. Super knowledgeable about NYC, with tons of fun facts and stories I never would’ve known otherwise. I had a lot of follow-up questions and he had thoughtful, insightful answers to all of them. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore and actually learn about the city!

If you could pick any night, we picked a good one. It was busy but the views were incredible. They have a good system for getting people up and down the 100 stories. Hudson Yards is also worth the trip. Lots to see even if you don’t want to shop.
