We booked onto a tour from our hotel and were met by Greg
Cannot recommend enough. He gave us lots of information about the history of the area, things you just wouldn’t get from a guide book. From the deli that Madonna worked in to the building that refused to sell to the Rockefeller’s. He showed us old photos to see what was, and the story of the original mural in the centre was incredible. Wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour again

Twice I had a great time joining the Streetwise New York’s tours that we visited and walked around Greenwich Village and The High Line area, and Central Park and Upper West Side area.  I thought both tours were perfectly designed that besides well-known spots, they guided to minor but interesting spots and features with lots of fun stories.  And, needless to say, the guides in both tours presented not only deep knowledge of the tour areas, but also were like encyclopedias of New York that answered all of our questions.  So, while you hardly have to breathe, they would entertain you from the beginning to the finale of the tours.  Even if you have already been to New York, I highly recommend signing up for the tours, and you would rediscover or learn so many things about the amazing town of New York.  Have fun with Streetwise New York!

2021年12月 、ニューヨークへ旅行した際に Streetwise New York のウォーキングツアーに参加し、グリニッジビレッジとハイライン周辺、それとセントラルパーク周辺の観光を満喫しました。ニューヨーク旅行というと食事や買い物、あるいは超有名スポットをちょっと見たらばそれで終わり、みたいになりがちだと思いますが、こちらのガイドさんはグリニッジビレッジやセントラルパークの歴史、セントラルパーク周辺に住む人はどんな人たちなのか、なんてマニアックな面白豆知識・情報を小気味よく話してくれ、飽きることのなく町を闊歩できました。英語をちょっとくらいは聞き取れる、せっかくアメリカに来たのだから(買い物とレストランでの注文以外で)英語を使ってみたいという方にも超オススメです。私が参加したとき、大半は英語圏以外からの旅行者でした。是非、皆さんもウォーキングツアーを楽しんで下さい!

David, our guide for the tour of Grand Central and the famous buildings in the area, was outstanding. As a history major in college, he was a wealth of history of the buildings, the people who built them, and how the City has evolved in the 20th century. It was a free tour as guests of the Edison Hotel and certainly exceeded our expectations.

Our guide Andrew was fantastic. He showed us the incredible diversity of Queens across two different areas (Jackson Heights and Astoria). The history and cultural make up of Queens is intriguing and interesting. After countless visits to New York (sticking to Manhattan) I had my eyes, ears and tastebuds opened to another fascinating part of the incredible city of New York, New York.

I am looking forward to another tour with Streetwise on my next trip back to New York.

We booked the Central Park tour through our hotel, The Pod by Times Square. Despite us being the only participants, Andrew was insistent that he run the tour for us. We're SO happy he did. Glimpsing that area of NYC through his eyes was so worthwhile. He pointed out things that we'd have never noticed, told us some great stories behind some iconic elements in the Park, and was just such a companionable person to spend a couple of hours with.

We had a wonderful time on our walking tour of Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. I really appreciated the way Sonya was able to provide historical range, explaining what things original design use was, and tracking that to what we were Curitiba standing in front of. The stories she chose to tell were all engaging. I was also particularly impressed by the way she adjusted her explanations to provide context for those in our group that were not from the United States and so didn’t inherently know minutiae of US history. I didn’t want our tour to end— I would have happily listened and walked all day.

We had a great private three hour tour of the theater district, Times Square, and Grand Central Station with Ronny. We loved that Ronny met us at our hotel, and that the tour was just for our group of four. Ronny was quite knowledgeable and affable. Ronny did a great job teaching us how to use the subway! The price for the tour was more than reasonable given the amount of time we had with our guide and the fact that it was a private tour. I recommend this tour company highly, and plan to hire them again when we come back to New York!

Triumph Hotels (including the Hotel Belleclaire, where we stayed, the Iroquois, Evelyn and the Edison) offer free 1-1/2 hour walking tours of the areas around the each of the hotels through Streetwise. We only had time for three Streetwise tours, but they were all great. Our tour guide, Sonya, is very knowledgeable and put everything on the tour in the context of the history of the city. And hour and a half was the perfect amount of time for us to devote to walking tours each day we were there.

Our tour guide picked us up at the Pod Hotel Times Square. He was very knowledgeable from the start including history right across the street from the hotel! We took the subway to the Upper East Side and entered Central Park at Strawberry Fields. By the way, if you are a first time user of the subway, it's a great and guided introduction to it. At every point along the way, we were given a history of the city neighbourhoods and areas. I was very impressed with the tour and highly recommend it. Travellers from Ottawa, Canada.

Patrick was an excellent tour guide. When the subway we were taking from Manhattan to Brooklyn was not in service, he improvised by taking us an alternate route. Lots of good background and history of the locations on the tour. He also emailed us a group photo he took on the Brooklyn Promenade. After the tour ended he chatted with us a bit and answered some additional questions. Highly recommended.
