    Best 9/11 Memorial WTC + Financial district tour
    I loved this tour! Our guide, Deby, was amazing! She was very knowlegeble and really funny. It was a very interactive tour through financial district and 9/11 memorial at world trade centre. The world trade centre was the best part part of the tour. It was very touching and emotional. The whole tour had an even greater impact, when Deby shared her personal expierence on 9/11. I would highly recommend this tour, with Deby as your guide.

    Central Park Beauty
    Our guide was directed by Ms. Debbie. She was very knowledgeable about the park. We loved hearing about the park. Debbie takes the extra measures to make the tour your own experience. She learned early that my daughter and I were fact finders and LOVED pictures. She pointed out things that most people might pass right by! I highly recommend this tour and Debbie will make it the event you want!

    Fantastic tour
    Debbie was spectacular. She worked at WTC during 1993 bombing and at 9/11. She had personal stories that made it very real for us. She also knew a great deal of history and detail about all of the sites we visited. I would highly recommend this tour!

    Debbi was great! Requiring masks for an outdoor tour is not so great!
    Debbi M did an amazing job and gave a lot of great information to 5 people including 3 mildly interested and very cold teenagers. Her insight and personal stories of 911 will not be forgotten. She was thorough and attentive to our tight tourist schedule. That was much appreciated. I would love to give her 5 stars and the tour 2 stars but since I can’t separate the 2, I wouldn’t and couldn’t give Debbi anything lower than a 5. The reason I’m suggesting a lower score is because of the masks. We were the only tour(out of many) wearing masks. Why! Why! Why! We were outside the entire time except for a quick visit in oculus. This is not communist China and it’s post pandemic. I will not book another tour with “My NY Tours.” Masks should be a personal decision and not a requirement.

    Incredible tour with a very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide — it made our trip so special!
    We had an absolutely incredible Experience with Debbie Mason. The others who had signed up with us for the tour canceled so we ended up with a private tour with Debbie for 3 hrs. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about the area and she was a pure delight. Plus, she is a professional photographer and was more than willing to take our photos and more over to recommend the perfect places to grab the photos! I Will keep her contact information for our future trips to New York. I highly, highly recommend Debbie!

    Private day tour-Sherri and Mona
    Me and my sister-in-law had a wonderful private tour with Debbie and Manny as the driver. To start with, they picked us up from the cruise port and off we went. We had the perfect day of touring all around NY City. Debbie had the perfect itinerary planned for us, even to include the perfect cannoli and best grandma pizza. Debbie is a wealth of information from history, architectural knowledge, sense of humor and pictures on her iPad. She knew where was the best place for photos and even volunteered to take the best pictures for us. Our favorite place to visit was the 911 memorial. We learned so much from Debbie that day. It’s amazing how she retains so much knowledge. We ended our tour by being dropped off at the airport. I would highly recommend Debbie and Manny !!!! You will not be disappointed.

    9/11 blue sky black day tour
    Had a very informative tour with Debbie around lower Manhattan and the world trade centre site and she took lots of pic for us. Debbi brought lots of personal anecdotes to the tour which brought the 9/11 events to life.

    A morning in the park
    Our guide, Debbie Matson, is a walking encyclopedia on all things related to Central Park and the area and offers the information in easy-to-remember stories and pictures from her IPAD.. She combines this knowledge with an easy, personable style making the tour a most enjoyable experience. Expect to hear interesting historical incidences from the earliest times to the present as well as basic park information on architecture, flora and fauna, and water landmarks. Debbie was cognizant of our physical stamina and offered rest stops of all kinds during the three-hour tour. We learned a lot about Central Park, the adjacent buildings and NYC in general. It was a great morning in the park.

    Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide
    Debbie, our tour guide, was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable, extremely enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. She even took us on a couple small detours so we could see a few notable things (like Alexander Hamilton's grave at Trinity Church) that had just reopened to tourists. We absolutely loved the entire experience. As a bonus, she is a great photographer and took a picture of my son and I that I will treasure forever.

Debbie M. was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge of the city, the architecture, the High Line and overall history of the area was outstanding. Probably the best city tour I have ever had. I highly recommend requesting Debbie M. if you are able to do so. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed myself, and my 13-year-old niece was completely in awe! Not easy to do! :-)

Great tour with lots of interesting history and tidbits of trivia! Debbie was a gracious host and guide. She was prepared with photographs of the various sights we saw and gave her own insights as a born and bred New Yorker. She offered to take pictures for us and knew just when to offer us stopping breaks. I highly recommend this tour for those who have an interest in local history and how this history has helped informed the changing and future landscape of the area.

This is a must do experience! Having walked the High Line a few times before I didn’t think there was anything else to know about it. I was wrong! Our professional tour guide Debbie Mason met us on time at a designated location with iPad in hand that she uses throughout the tour to show historical photos of the meatpacking district and surrounding areas. We asked for an architectural focus and Debbie delivered!! She revealed so many amazing stories and High Line vantage points that I hadn’t noticed on past visits.
Debbie was also thoughtful about asking us if we needed to sit or take a bathroom break. This tour is a “must do” the next time you visit New York!

Hi, Elisa. It was my absolute pleasure to deliver on my promise that both you and Kim would enjoy a wonderfully memorable experience of NYC's incredible "Park-in-the-Sky"! I'm hopeful that you found your visit to "Little Island" extremely enjoyable, as well. I'd like to thank you for this kind and thoughtful review and for taking some time to share your “Secrets of the Highline” tour experience, with others. As we begin our post-pandemic recovery and our slow but steady return to pre-pandemic "normalcy", reviews are so very important in that they provide potential visitors with invaluable insight into tour experiences. That can be a powerful and really helpful tool in guiding their booking decisions and assuring them of the best quality experiences. I’d like to express how truly appreciative I am for this wonderful review and I’m quite sure that future travelers will be appreciative, as well. I offer you my heartfelt thanks for the review and for allowing me the privilege of guiding you and Kim around this iconic, "must-see" part of my amazing City. I am hopeful for the opportunity to serve you again on some future tour experience. All the best! Debbie

Debbie is very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Chelsea and along the High Line. We learned about meat packing, Little Island, and how the High Line came to be. We saw a beautiful sunset and views of Manhattan and New Jersey that couldn’t be beat. Highly recommend taking the tour, especially if you’re interested in architecture.

Debbie was great. Very knowledgeable. We started at Chelsea Market, went to little island and then walked the high line from the meatpacking area to Hudson yards. Debbie told us about the architecture and the people. She took several pictures for us. We would highly recommend this walking tour.

The first tour I booked for my recent trip to NYC (June 7) was for The High Line. I am so glad we had Debbie M., who braved the worst weather in the country due to the Canadian wildfires to take my friend and I on the tour. We were thrilled with her insights into the area and the experience was beyond memorable. At the end she recommended a great restaurant, which proved to be the best meal of our time in NYC.

We spent three delightful hours in Debbie's company, along with three lovely lady tourists also visiting from Manchester, UK, walking the High Line and finding out its secrets. We also visited Little Island and Debbie was very knowledgeable about that too. Her knowledge of the history of Manhattan was extensive. She is a wonderful guide and made the trip very worthwhile.

There are lots of tours you can take in NYC. What makes this one stand out is the GUIDE. Debbie is funny, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. Plus, she's a great photographer. At my request, she took several pics with my phone, many of which were of my family and me with spectacular backdrops. The tour is loaded with facts and sights that you wouldn't get if you wandered the High Line on your own.

By the end, I truly felt like we gained a friend.

I highly recommend this tour. We, my husband, my 14 year old daughter, and I, all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Two thumbs up!!

We had an almost confidential tour (two European couples) of the highline and the meatpacking district with Debbie, which we are unlikely to forget.
Great tour, great guide, great views, great photos, great discussions for history & architecture lovers : what's not to like indeed ?!!!
