Incredible storytelling of another side to NYC's Chinatown
We organized a private Underworld Experience tour with Roger for a company team event, and it was one of the most memorable city tours any of us has ever done! Even though I personally grew up in Chinatown, Roger's personal stories and thorough research (he is a 7-time Emmy award winning news producer!) shed light on the community in a way that was very memorable and educational. I can't recommend the tour highly enough, and can't wait to partake in the other experiences they offer too!

Discover NYC beyond Manhattan!
Great tour to see parts of NYC that most people don’t usually take the time to see. Really opened our eyes to the unique character and history of each borough. Sebastian was a knowledgeable guide and has well-planned stops for snacks and restrooms in addition to interesting sights and great skyline views of Manhattan. Our family group from ages 19-89 all enjoyed the tour and found it worth the time spent. Highly recommend.

amazing tour experience!
I’ve been on a lot of walking tours and this one is my new favorite! You can tell Nic has put a lot of work into crafting the tour, doing research, making props, and incorporating music and costume changes. I had a lot of fun learning about the neighborhood because Nic is really passionate about sharing his knowledge on history, linguistics, and culture and he converted really interesting topics.I also appreciated that he encouraged interaction between the whole tour group and by the end it felt more like a conversation with friends rather than a lecture.Super fun and unique tour, highly recommend!

Flexible, informative, and fun
The audio follows you on GPS, so you are always on track and walking in the right direction! It’s so helpful for people like me who tend to wander. It will also allow you to pause and take a diversion if you want to. We stopped and visited the Central Park Zoo and then resumed.

Fantastic day! The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us lots of practical advice, e.g. where to buy drinks, where restrooms were, best way to access monuments, etc. Pick up was very easy. Would totally recommend. Thanks Dani!

Unforgettable experience
The trip was spectacular. My mom and I enjoyed the whole trip from the moment we got on the bus. Very comfortable, we were able to rest. Before each stop, our guide Josh tried to explain absolutely everything to us, give us enough time for everything and it was definitely worth it. It is a trip that many people should make every time they travel to New York. An unforgettable and very repeatable experience.

Our Unforgettable NYC Highlight: Perfect Pace & Amazing Hidden Spots!
We had an amazing bike tour with Scott and would highly recommend it!Scott knows so much about New York and shared lots of interesting facts and stories throughout the tour. The pace was perfect—relaxed and never rushed—which made the whole experience really enjoyable.What made the tour even more special was that Scott took extra time to show us places we would never have found on our own. Those hidden spots made a huge difference and turned a great tour into an unforgettable experience.Thanks again, Scott! This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to New York.

sophiavI6703DM, Jun 2026
Not just a tour...
We can recommend this tour 10/10. The guide is a real New Yorker, knows what he's talking about, and absolutely knows his job and how to present. There is much to learn about and there are some surprises on the way. It is interactive and socially so also a great possibility to meet other people and not a problem to go alone.
