CJ is a walking encyclopedia for all things Harlem. The love & pride she has for her city is clear. It was so impressive that she knew so many locals & they knew her. Sen. Cleare even stopped to say hello & talked about the great things Harlem has to offer. We returned the very next day for the African American Day Parade. We experienced the soul & culture of the city with this tour & because of it will definitely be back.

Jordyn_J, Sep 2026
Highly Recommend!
This was a fantastic tour! We loved all the stops for food as well as learning info about the area. We tried pizza places and dessert locations we had never been to before AND was able to skip the line for faster service because of our tour guide's connections! In my family I had a picky eater in it, and they were very pleased with the selections available and had no issues with the food provided. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for places to try in the Greenwich area. We were stuffed by the end so it's a good value for the price.

Quality guy quality day top drawer.
Rudy (our guide) was top drawer, he is actually is a local and was very knowledgeable and knew the history and back story of all the places we visited, very courteous and thorough in his explanations, advised us on great places to eat and the kicker for me is that people knew him wherever he went and we felt safe as we as informed,_I won’t go into any details of the tour as I don’t want to spoil anything. I would recommend asking for Rudy by name as I recommend him and taking the tour at the beginning of your holiday as the tips and advice came in handy and we saved a lot of money. Once again me and my wife thank Rudy for making the day outstanding.

Midtown Manhattan Art and Architecture Walking Tour
W1510FRanitap, Sep 2026
Learned so much while having such fun with art and architecture!
We had such fun on our tour seeing all the artwork and architecture of midtown! As someone born in New York, I never even knew about the history of these buildings or the art displayed inside some of them. I would just hurry to my destination, never stopping to notice any of it. Robert, our tour guide changed all that. He was knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. He was also very considerate, checking on us frequently to make certain we didn't need a rest or bathroom break . I highly recommend this tour and specifically Robert!!

Worth every penny!
I read previous reviews, “Mike is amazing!” “Mike knows so much about the city!” “Mike is an incredible guide!” You know what? All those statements are true. I sent hubby on a personal one-on-one tour with Mike and I am still hearing about it four days later! Mike is so personable, we began communicating days before the tour. He wanted to know if there was a specific part of the city hubby was interested in, or certain historical events. It truly felt like a personalized tour just for the two of them. Yes, it’s a bit more expensive than other tours, but it is totally worth it! I highly recommend this tour with Mike!

A fun and delicious food tour with great history, amazing food, and a wonderful guide!
We had such a wonderful time on Alexandra’s “Sweets and Slices Greenwich Village Walking Food Tour”! Alexandra is such an open, friendly, and warm person. She has an incredible amount of historical knowledge and combines it beautifully with the delicious food stops along the way. She also has a great sense of humor, which made the whole tour fun and entertaining! The price was very fair, and the tour was the perfect length. We started at 11 AM, so it wasn’t crowded at all, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We also really enjoyed getting to know the other family on the tour. After all the delicious food, we even had some time to walk around before making room for one last cupcake! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and delicious way to explore Greenwich Village. Thank you, Alexandra, for such a memorable experience!

Cherie is a fabulous tour guide. She is energetic and full of fun facts and information about Central Park and NYC. We learned so much from her and enjoyed her sense of humor and presentation. She’s very professional, knowledgeable and very proud to be a New Yorker, and also warm, friendly and kind to everyone. We really enjoyed our time together and would definitely do it again. We plan to come back and look forward to more tours of NYC spots with Cherie. She loves what she does and makes sure everyone on the tour enjoys the experience. Thank you, Cherie!

Central Park New York – Exclusive Guided Walking Tour

Cheeky day off work
I took a random Tuesday off work and decided on a guided tour through Central Park. I’ve been through the park hundreds of times but learned so much today from Cherie that I felt compelled to write this review. Cherie knows her stuff and shared trivia about places and things in the park that I never would have learned otherwise. The small group and unhurried pace (we did half the park in about 2.5 hours) were just what I was looking for.

It was a great experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and genuinely fun. We were in a small group and it felt personal and we had great conversations. The tour itself was very thorough and it didn’t felt too long, just perfect. As an architecture student, it felt like an insider/local experience and learned a lot.

Private Walking Tour of Hoboken
Our private walking tour of Hoboken with our guide Greg was terrific. We opted to take the short ferry ride from Manhattan to Jersey. Greg met us at the ferry landing and it was smooth sailing all the way! Upon arrival at the docks in Hoboken, Greg recounted the early history of this working class town, the immigrants who helped make it special and the recent changes to the waterfront that have been part of Hoboken's revitalization. Greg was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made sure we had the opportunity to take a breather from touring and sample some of the local offerings. In addition to its' beautiful tree lined streets, Hoboken provides some amazing views of the Manhattan skyline. I highly recommend scheduling a private walking tour of Hoboken with Greg from Viamo Tours.
