Our tour with Megan was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and able to deliver historical facts in a very engaging way. She also knows where are the locations for getting shelters during rain and timed them really well during our tour. Overall we really enjoyed our time and would recommend the tour :)

It was great, Meghan spoke a very clearly and understandable english. So even a not fluently English speaker could understand her very good. She explained everything very interesting so it was a great experience even for my teenage daughter. I can completely recommend this tour!

Meghan told us the insider secrets of Lower Manhattan. She was passionate about history and it rubbed off on us. We enjoyed it very much and appreciated that she found picture perfect settings. I highly recommend!

This was a great tour. I have taken some tours in New York in the past and had heard some of the history of Tribeca and I was interested in learning more. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. She very clearly and completely explained the history of this area. She also had perfect timing with the bathroom and nourishment break. I would highly recommend this tour.

Meghan was a great guide. Our family enjoyed the tour and Meghan was polite, considerate and knowledgeable. She was kind enough to even hold our daughter's hand through the tour.

Outstanding concept for a tour. The great...great grandson of the Roebling father and son (and his wife) brings the history to life with personal family stories. Amazing original journals, instruments and pieces of the original bridge are like cream cheese icing on a fine carrot cake. You get to touch and feel history. But the key to this tour is Kriss himself. A gifted storyteller, he genuinely enjoys sharing this history with others. Probably the
best walking tour ever!
