Perfect day at the MET
Our guide, Dan, was personable and knowledgable. He asked what we wanted to see and tailored the visit to ensure we saw our wish list and added in a few must sees as well. I appreciated the flexibility of being able to stop at pieces that caught our eye and have Dan add background information as we moved through the galleries. Highly recommend with is tour… we enjoyed seeing our favorite artists and learning about new ones!

Excellent Met tour
Dan is a terrific guide for the Met. He adapted quickly to our preferences. His knowledge was comprehensive. His approach was less about how the works were made and more about their cultural context. We are grateful we booked with him.

Safari05652472215, Sep 2026
Highlight of our trip!
Dana has created a tour that perfectly balances entertainment and history. We saw Hamilton (again) the night after we did the tour, and it made the show even more spectacular - to have seen the real places and imagine the history coming to life was amazing. The length/duration of the walk was just right. Dana did an excellent job of adapting the tour for our group of mixed ages and backgrounds. She is so very knowledgeable of the history of New York. This was a highlight of our trip!

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!

Superb introduction to NYC History and Architecture

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.

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!

SUSANNE'S
New York City
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.
