Josh came through as an enthusiastic guide who loves his city and its food and history. We enjoyed discovering places and food we would not otherwise have experienced with him. As a 75+ Brit with dodgy knees and ankles, I did not find it too long.

Was a bit anxious being solo on this tour (off-season business trip) but ended up having a great time! My guide Bruce was awsome and had some great tips for the rest of my stay in NYC! I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants a local experience, anytime of the year.
