I went to NYC for the first time over a weekend in Sept this year. Not having much time on my hand, I decided not to spend my time waiting in lines for popular tourist attractions but to get a real feel of the city. I love walking tours and believe that they are the best when you want to... more

My friends and I joined Lina for the Manhattan Melting Pot tour. As we wound our way through these old neighborhoods, we learned so much about the history of these culturally diverse pockets within the city. Lina leads you to the most authentic spots within a sea of tourist attractions for a delicious taste of each neighborhood. We finished at... more

My 3 friends and I took the ethnic walking tour of Chinatown, Little Italy and the lower East side (I think that was where Katz's was located!). We walked and sampled lots of delicious foods that are typical New York--egg creams, Chinese dumplings, pizza, prosciutto, cannolis...while listening to our wonderful guide Lina tell us interesting historical anecdotes about the area.... more

We spent half a day with Lina walking over the Brooklyn Bridge and then touring Brooklyn and the surrounding areas. The route she took us on was clearly well thought through - starting at the Manhattan Town Hall and finishing at the Brooklyn Town Hall. Lina's knowledge of New York is exceptional but it is her enthusiasm for the city... more

The tour was approximately 2 hours and we certainly felt we got our money's worth. I live right here in New York, my guest was from out of town, and both of us learned new things and were... more

Often its the little details... more

Lina was a wonderful guide as we walked up and down the winding lanes, mews and private streets to view all the different personalities of Greenwich Village. Listening to the history of Washington Square, viewing the architectural designs of townhouses, and wandering into some fabulous smelling bakeries and cheese shops made for a truly memorable and fun day. I plan... more

Lina was an articulate and informative guide, really enjoyed the tour/sights/information given more

This tour was just right. History and haunts combined with wit and personality. Incredible as it might seem, white spots appeared on a photo of One if by Land Two if By Sea, the restaurant that once served as Aaron Burr's carriage house. Our guide had talked of this phenomenon as being a sign from the beyond, and of the... more
