Such a wonderful tour of Manhattan! Chris took us to dozens of spots we'd never been before, tailoring the day to our interests. We were a little nervous about the NYC traffic, but Chris handled it like the pro that he is.
We explored Chelsea, Tribeca, SoHo, Greenwich Village, the Financial District, Little Italy, Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen and more. Since they give only private tours, Chris was able to concentrate on our specific interests which included time at the 9/11 Memorial, (and he pointed out the nearby crazy-cool temporary art exhibit), showed us the High Line Park that wanted to explore, took us to Alexander Hamilton's grave (we're big fans of the musical), took us to Chelsea Market, which we fell in love with, and dozens of other sites. All the while, Chris told entertaining personal stories, and shared the rich history of this amazing city, which we appreciated greatly.
We stopped for many treats including cannoli, a cronut (at the original spot), sausages, dumplings, pizza, and more. Each spot was a tiny, individually owned shop with fabulous food. (At the dumpling place, we shared an order of 4 dumplings and a bottle of water for a total of $3! On top of that, they were the best dumplings we have ever had.)
This was the BEST way to start out our NYC trip and set the stage for the rest of our days of exploring. We highly recommend this small, outstanding company, and specifically recommend Chris as a guide. It is absolutely worth every penny and then some.
