  • Chinatown, Little Italy and LES Tasting tour Loved the tour! Richard has so much knowledge and a very pleasing way of presenting it through personal experiences. I thought the pace was perfect and he found seating places too. For some people 3 hours may be too long, but personally I could have walked and listened all day. Thanks for having this tou

    5 star ratingTasty tour of 3 neighborhoods We just took a tour entitled “A Taste of New York: Food tour of Chinatown, Little Italy, and the LES” and it was excellent! Our guide Richard was extremely knowledgeable of the area and led a very well-paced, informative yet not overwhelming tour. Our food stops were very tasty and reflected the culture of the area with a modern take. It was a very enjoyable day and the 3 hours literally flew by. Highly recommend this one!!

  • We had AJ for this tour and he was fabulous! Perfect combination of “transit geek-storyteller-actor-true New Yorker.” I know “a bit” of the history and backstory of the subway and learned a few new things today!

  • 5 star ratingInformative, fascinating, great history and back story about the Station I just wanted to say that AJ delivered a fantastic tour about Grand Central Station - he is upbeat, extremely knowledgeable, funny and kept us moving at a perfect pace. The historical photos of the station and many back stories were fascinating. Would definitely sign up for another tour with him. There were so many incredible details about Grand Central Station I had not known. Would recommend highly.

  • 5 star ratingA Must for Everyone Who Love Grand Central Terminal I am so glad a tour like this exists for the Grand Central Terminal. It was very informative and you will learn so many interesting trivia and tidbits you won't find anywhere else. The tour will take you to places inside the terminal that you will never know about and go yourself. The tour guide (Louis) was funny, entertaining, and always making sure everyone is doing okay on the tour.

    I also appreciate that they gave each person a bluetooh earpiece so you can hear the guide loud and clear. I highly recommend everyone who love Grand Central Terminal to do this tour!

    4 star ratingA fascinating tour. The tour was good. It was packed with a great deal of information, which was great for me. The tour is long and is a great deal of walking, which people should know in advance. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

  • 5 star ratingThis is a tour for people who think they know everything about Rockefeller Center (and for those who don't) Educational. Engaging. I learned new, interesting things about Rockefeller Center and its context, even though I know much about the site and have been through it extensively over many decades. This tour is for anyone who has an interest in Rockefeller Center.

    5 star ratingTotally worth it! Jeremy was a very knowledgeable guide . We’ve been in Grand Central so many times yet learning the history behind the building and it’s many features inside and out was great. We had a super small group , so made it even more personal. Would recommend for anyone wanting to know more about one of the most beautiful buildings in NYC.

    4 star ratingInteresting tour This tour was for the nerdy urban history enthusiasts like my dad and I. Our tour guide Jeremy was very knowledgeable about the design, history and uses of Grand Central. I'm not sure I'd 100% call the factoids secrets, but they were interesting none-the-less. The hour and a half flew by!

    5 star ratingFascinating NYC history! Fascinating backstory for NYC, Gilded Age and more recent developments in the City. Our guide Richard was excellent: knowledgeable, so very informative, AND entertaining! The hidden secrets of GCT really need this tour to be uncovered. Based on our tour, I would plan to do more Untapped New York on future trips to NYC.
