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.

Learned SO much about NYC subways! A must do!
Rayn's tour was very interesting. He is an urban planner for the city, but worked several years for the MTA. He taught us about the histories of the different subway lines. We saw some abandoned stations and tracks. He pointed out things - both modern and historical - that most people walk right by every day. He has deep knowledge of all things New York Subway and loves to share it.

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.

It’s an excellent way to see the city and learn so much from a fantastic guide. Thank you for a brilliant experience!

Incredibly memorable family bonding experience
Our parents went on one of Rayn’s Grand Central tours a couple years ago and gifted us this experience. It did not disappoint. We traveled through time on the three original companies of NY subways through humor, facts, and improvisation based on group interest and the train schedules. A great experience and will be back for more.

We had a great time on this Gossip Girl tour in NYC! The driver was extremely knowledgeable about the show and made the experience even more fun with trivia along the way. It was great seeing iconic locations like the Met Steps and the Empire Hotel. Even though I’ve never watched the show, my girlfriend really enjoyed it. Highly recommend for anyone visiting NYC!

A Must for Gossip Girl Fans!
I had such a great time on the Gossip Girl Bus Tour! Our guide was super fun, knew everything about the show, and shared behind-the-scenes stories I’d never heard before. We got to see so many iconic filming locations—The Palace Hotel, Madison Avenue spots, Central Park scenes, and more.The bus was comfortable, the pacing was perfect, and there were plenty of chances to hop off, take photos, and feel like you’re in an episode. If you love Gossip Girl or just enjoy exploring NYC in a unique way, this tour is 100% worth it. XOXO 😉

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.

Jon was fantastic and did a great job with his segways into revealing super hero history/inside scoop. It did not feel like we walked as far as we did because of how entertaining/informative Jon was. The weather was warm but not bad at all. He took some amazing pics for us at iconic places as well!
