It rained hard on the day we had booked and paid for a tour. rang up early that morning. No chance of cancellation, no refund, no sympathy. Waste of money. People: it rains in NYC, and sometimes very hard. a little flexibility is required on everyone's part. a fine drizzle, that's ok, but who wants to walk around in heavy... More

Hello Narikin, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are very passionate about our tours and take every positive and negative review seriously. You are right!; weather in NYC can be really unpredictable and for that reason we put together a rain or shine policy: Our tours run rain or shine. We designed the rainy day itinerary... More

Me and two of my friends took the walking tour with Dennis Barbarito and we had the best time. Dennis was charistmatic, knowledgeable, and a delight to spend the 3 hours with. It was so cool to see the city with a native New Yorker! I would definitely book a trip with him again. More

What a wonderful way to spend a few hours -- strolling through the neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and surrounding areas. It made me think that if I had my life to live over again, I would spend a few years of the 1960's and '70's living in The Village. My guide for the afternoon was Marty Schneit, a very personable...

I had an absolutely fantastic time on the Greenwich Village Tour with my tour guide Dennis Barbarito. I had never been to New York before and the tour was a great mix of history and pop culture (my two favorite things!) Dennis was fantastic and by the end of the trip he felt like an old friend! :) More

His enthusiasm for New York was infectious and he certainly went the extra mile. He was great with our kids and kept them entertained as... More

We met Michael Jascz from Urban Adventures in the Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Station. Immediately we noted his enthusiasm and excitement to show us New York, in a private walking tour of lower Manhattan. During the tour we saw many of the things that make New York famous, as well as getting down and dirty with the locals. Items... More

I give my highest endorsement to this tour, thanks to our fabulous guide, Karen Brueckner. She is energetic, well informed; eager to share the sights, sounds, smells (make that aromas) of the lower east side & environs. We were introduced to local merchants and their products - tasting matzoh, latkes, doughnuts, dumplings & more. The tastings, and a few delicious... More
