“It was really lovely to actually see all of the different neighborhoods to get a much better feel for how New York is really lived. We loved Greenwich village especially. Our tour guide, Dan, shared a lot of tidbits of information that we might not otherwise get. My son and I don't know New York well so we didn't have a good idea of what we wanted or needed to see which I think was the only challenge in making it 5 stars - our interests weren't always aligned with where the tour guide took us. I would recommend doing a bit of research before hooking up with the guide…”
