We aim to offer guests interesting, entertaining, and memorable tours. How do we do this? Through our range of original and diverse tours, and most importantly our guides. Our passionate and friendly guides pride themselves on their engaging stories and know-how to help you save time and see more.

You are an excellent, engaging guide and your memory is super impressive! We would never have been able to appreciate all that happened if we had just walked round by ourselves.

Lots of personal stories also made the tour come to life, saw a number of extra bits I wouldn’t have looked for. A very personable friendly guide I would recommend anyone coming to New York to specifically ask for her.
