Sean did an outstanding job educating us on the history of slavery and the underground railroad in NYC. His depth of knowledge, as a historian, was impressive, as was his storytelling. I didn't realize how little I knew about slavery in this city and the history is quite extensive. This tour is a MUST if you are visiting NYC.

Maia gave us an outstanding tour. There were 9 people in the group and we could always hear easily and ask questions. Maia is super knowledgeable and shared so much history and context with the group. This is one of the best tours we've taken.

The tour narrative was really good and finished at the African Burial Ground National Monument. Very Interesting, 2-1/2 hours well spent. Tour guide Ludy had a binder with photographs of historical figures and places, illustrating story of slavery in New York City- who knows all this?
