As a new York native with a girlfriend who's never been to Nyc, it was everything I could have dreamed of and more! I was worried about cool things for us todo together and this was perfect. We both learned so much about the rich history and how Nyc has laws to preserve the historic landmarks as saw. I was in town for a race in Brooklyn and I believe the tour helped my girlfriend learn the lay of the land and she felt confident in finding me at the finish line. I think Robin’s tour guide really gave her the New York Energy I was hoping to give her!! We are so grateful for the tour and it made our trip a 12/10 ❤️
