Best Tour Guide Experience - This was my husband’s and kids’ first visit to NYC. My family and I had the best tour experience with Jim W. He took the time to get to know about our family and provided insights that made the tour more about information. It was invaluable having a local guide who grew up nearby and lived in the area. We learned so much about the history and architecture of NYC. We walked about 7 miles on a really warm day, but Jim made it fun with good conversation and very interesting info. There’s ample shade around the city and opportunities to rest, grab a snack, etc. My kids loved the Staten Island Ferry ride to see the Statue of Liberty, and visiting One World Observatory at the end was special. Like so many others, I have a deeply personal connection to 9/11, and this was the first time I returned to NYC since after and since rebuilding started. To see what the World Trade Center rebuilding has turned into today was a very heartfelt moment. We look forward to taking more tours in other cities with Experience First, especially if they have the same qualities and guides as this one.

Excellent One Day NYC tour with JIM! - Our 7 hour tour of New York City was phenomenal! Jim, our tour guide made the day amazing with his knowledge and expertise. He showed us so many historical sites and explained the history so well. I HIGHLY recommend the One Day NYC tour with Jim!

Fabulous and Busy Day in NYC - Our family with two kids (9 and 12) had an amazing day with our guide Jim. We covered an huge amount of NYC and it was great having a more personal and authentic experience compared to a large bus tour. It was a hot day, but Jim was very good about finding shade and stopping for water and breaks as needed. We were glad we did this tour on our first day in NYC. We feel prepared to go back and explore further in the city with great recommendations for activities/restaurants.

Perfect start to our NYC trip! - Lindsey was so fun and so informative. She even helped us find the right subway to take home! Def recommend this trip to first timers to New York! An excellent way to kick off the trip!

Walking NYC - Made a long tour safe and educational and enjoyable. Took the time to answer questions, while adding u known historic facts

Excellent way to explore the city. - An amazing walking tour and great way to see the city. Jim our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable and made the tour extra special. Especially enjoyed the trip on the ferry. The architecture so interesting and different. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Tribute - INTENSE DIFFICULT EMOTIONALLY BUT WELL WORTH IT. DON'T just do the reflecting pools but the Museum. Take the time needed for this experience . You will not regret it, we can always learn and MUST never forget the cost of our freedom and liberties. A the fact that we have grown up in a culture that does NOT promote hate.

Enjoyed thoroughly - The guide was very professional and gave us a good idea about the history and culture of New York. He covered all the important places and gave us enough time to stop by for lunch as well.

World Trade Center memorial - Our tour guide Ray was great. He offered many insights, was knowledgeable, answered questions and was enthusiastic. He was passionate and helpful.

USELESS - You are exhausting, very heavy! I'm waiting for the day my vacation starts And you keep bombarding me with offers and asking me for "a new password" Bunch of useless people! Never again!!!!
