Charlie gave a great tour: lots of information delivered in an engaging way. We were especially grateful for his attention and care for our friends, who had mobility issues and needed extra help getting on and off the ferries. He also added tips on his favorite places to eat, things to do that weren’t necessarily in guidebooks.

Jett was our guide. He is very nice, engaging in conversation, and laid back. He is also very knowledgeable about the tour subject matter. I would enjoy taking another NYC tour with Jett as the guide. Lloyd

Our guide, Cherie, was amazing! She gave us a great overview, shared interesting stories, allowed enough time for personal activities, and clearly explained how to get back after the tour. My congratulations to Cherie.
