Wow!! We learned so much! Walking with a REAL historian made ALL the difference. We will definitely be back for more tours. We did a private tour snd it was worth EVERY penny.

Kevin gave us a tour of Secrets of Central Park. We leaned so much about a park that we have wanted to visit for so long. We plan to return and spend more time exploring this area with our learned knowledge. Our photos we took now have so much more meaning. Thank you Kevin.

Kevin did an amazing job taking us on a combination Gilded Age and Met tour. He is so knowledgeable and we learned a ton about the area and the history of New York. Highly Recommended! We will be coming back for another tour when we return to the city.

First of all it was an outside tour and freezing cold 35 degrees. We were hoping the tour would cancel since we were inside the 24 hr cancellation policy.
Dan, our tour guide pointed out several buildings that were historic homes snd clubs. Thats about it for the mile walk from The Plaza to the Met. Would be better if there were some “inside” stories. Also pictures of homes and NYC during the Gilded Age would have been nice. Didn’t mention the Rockefeller’s, wonder where they lived.

NYHT, Owner at New York Historical Tours, responded to this reviewResponded December 15, 2022

We are sorry to hear you were uncomfortable with weather. We operate year-round and expected to provide a service at the time of reservations and unfortunately have no control over the weather. We send a reservation reminder 48 hours prior to the tour and suggest dressing appropriately for the weather. If the weather forecast seems personally unsuitable, rescheduling or cancelations can be made with at least 24 hours’ notice. We only cancel in the event a tour cannot operate as stated or conditions pose a risk to our guests and staff, such as in severe weather advisories. Our team is dedicated to providing reliable and responsive service.

With a private tour you always have the option to make requests, ask questions or alert your guide to any needs and they can adjust your tour or route to accommodate your requests. We take pride in having courteous and deeply knowledgeable guides provide New York experiences throughout the year. Guests are always welcome to ask their guide questions that may arise during the tour like “where did the Rockefellers live?”, or “can we stop inside somewhere to warm up” and are happy to respond at any time during your experience.
