Great tour and excellent guide

Empire State Observatory and Grand Central Tour
the4clynes, Sep 2026
Great tour and excellent guide
What a superb tour. Can’t sing the praises of our guide, Braden, highly enough. He was extremely polite yet easy going and conducted the tour in a light hearted manner. His knowledge of Grand Central was very thorough and he showed us to parts of the station we would never have found on our own. Once we had completed the tour of Grand Central, Braden escorted us to the Empire State Building and pointed out places of interest on the way. Very informative indeed. Once we arrived at the Empire State, Braden gave us our tickets and pointed us in the right direction and left us there. I initially thought that our tickets only allowed us to go part of the way up but I was wrong. We had the additional ticket which allows us to go to the observation deck on the 102nd floor. The views from the top of the Empire State Building are truly amazing and not to be missed. In a city that is very expensive, I would have to say this tour was excellent value for money and would certainly recommend it. There is a bit of walking involved but nothing most people couldn’t handle. Having an excellent guide like Braden helps too. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Harlem Jazz Tour: NYC Speakeasies and Juke Joints – Live Jazz
35carolej, Aug 2026
Great evening!
Gordon, our tour guide was awesome. He provided, prior to our tour, an outline of what we were to expect for the evening of Jazz. We had the opportunity to experience some great music. We saw and heard some great up and coming artists, (Saniyah, Danayband). We had the opportunity to visit 3 spots, which we would not have visited on our own. At the start of the tour, we walked a few blocks while Gordon provided information on the history of Jazz in Harlem . Gordon was great, he provided communication, before and after the Jazz tour, including background details on the singers and musicians/bands. Gordon did inform us, before hand, of $30 minimum at one of the bars that we visited, which was not listed in the tour booking. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Dennis was a wonderful tour guide. His first-hand account and personal photos from the days/weeks immediately following 9/11 were informative and moving. We learned a lot about the original architecture of the towers, his experience as a first responder, and the many ways the new architecture of the site honors what came before.

A Great Couple of Hours
We had a little bit of a conflict trying to set up the tour but Merrily was very helpful and flexible in making sure my wife and I were able to get a tour.It was fabulous. Not keep in mind we are fairly art knowledgablea nd galleries and tours are something we already enjoy, but even for many novices, this is a great way to be introduced to a variety of artists and get a taste for how the art world works.She picked out a range of artists, so for most people, you will find art and artists that speak to you. She was very knowledgeable about each gallery, the art, and the artists, so Merrily was able to give insight to each one.We will be back later in February and will do out best to take another tour with her.

Discover Lower Manhattan Walking Tour

We've done MANY tours with Manhattan Walking Tour and they've all been excellent! Every guide we've had has been knowledgeable and friendly. It has always been a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this company when you're in NY. In fact, I just sent their website to a friend planning a trip this winter. Most recently we did a combination the Chinatown food tour and Downtown/Lower Manhattan with Jake. Jake is so much fun- he knows so much about the food and my son enjoyed talking to him about the Broadway show we had seen the night before and what should be on our list for our next trip! They advertise that it's like being shown around the city by a friend and this is true every time! In the past we've also done Hell's Kitchen, The Highline, Central Park, and a few others-lol!

Memorable Evening!
Gordon, our tour guide, was very attentive, informative, and friendly. He kept us informed the day of the tour and even provided me with suggestions of things to do in the area as we were early. Gordon is extremely knowledgeable about all things jazz!I was very impressed at the end of the night as Gordon advised the owner of the last venue that it was my husband’s birthday. The band sang a personal happy birthday song to him which was unexpected and quite a memorable experience! Great tour!

I really enjoyed the Mafia tour with Jay. It was very informative and interesting with lots of stops and snippets of history and storoes about the mob around NYC and also stories about her time with the NYPD. The tour started with a delicious meal of meatballs and spaghetti and ended with canoli pastries also delicious

We took the « Discover the Birthplace of NYC » walking tour with Dave and it was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable and toured us around the most historical areas of New Amsterdam/New York City. He had old photos of some of the areas we visited to provide perspective of the times. A great tour for people interested in history and and opportunity to see some of the few remaining sites of the original settlement.

Excursion to the Financial District with Marie.
Guided tour of the Financial District with Marie. Marie is a very pleasant, dynamic guide who is easy to talk to and attentive to our expectations. A French expat and New Yorker by adoption for many years, she is an official guide and knows how to share her attachment to this extraordinary city where anything is possible! She knows all the stories and anecdotes that have marked the area perfectly, and it is captivating to listen to her recount the history punctuated by her personal notes, which are sometimes amusing and always relevant. The hours pass quickly. The kilometers add up, fatigue sets in, but the joy of visiting Manhattan is worth it. You can take the "Voyages en Français" excursions or more specifically "New York en Français" with complete confidence. We recommend it without hesitation.

The perfect way to discover The High Line and its architecture!
This tour with Merrily was superb from start to finish, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.We booked direct with Merrily online and communication confirming the booking and about when and where to meet was faultless.We walked on and off The High Line, discovering places we would never have found on our own, and stopped to study and understand many buildings we might well have just walked past. Merrily has a deep knowledge of the area and its architecture, and is engaging to listen to and learn from.It turned what would have just been a very pleasant walk along the High Line, into a fascinating and immersive experience that we thoroughly enjoyed!
