Fun way to find hidden gems and learn not only the story but see things you might walk by without knowing. Ariel guided us through a trail with history, drinks, and fun. Enjoyed making new friends and learning the history and also the evolution of NYC. We wanted to keep the tour going and will book on next visit to see and learn more.

Great Night

Southstandbarry, Mar 2025

What a great tour with Walter a friendly and knowledgeable guide ! A very interesting trip to three bars around Times Square that would be difficult to find on your own with background stories on prohibition, speakeasy culture and the 70's & 80's expertly delivered by our host. Couple this with some excellent mixology in the form of some unique cocktails then you have the bones of a great night ! Highly recommended.
