Loved the tour. Loved hearing about all the history. Jonathan pointed out details that I knew nothing about.
The food choices were delicious!

Jonathan is a great guide and gave us a wonderful experience. He is personable, funny, and knowledgeable. He does a great job of weaving together the small details with the larger historical forces to paint a vivid picture of the LES both now and in the past. Highly recommended.

Jonathan is a wonderful guide. He was funny, personable, and knowledgeable. From small details to the big picture, Jonathan weaves it altogether to give a sense of a place that has always been (and continues to be) in transition. Highly recommend.
