    Kitt is very methodical and organized in her narrative tour of NYC and it's architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed her detailed descriptions and locations of each structure and the reason for it's particular choice. It provided a true history of the great city and how it evolved. She also took us into the future of what buildings might look like and the approach to preserving airspace. I highly recommend these informative and educational narratives prior to visiting NYC so to enhance your knowledge and to more fully appreciate the experience.

    Although I've lived in NYC for over 16-years, I received more history and architecture knowledge in a 1.5-hour time span than I have in recent memory! Kitt's tours are so well done, easy to follow, organized, and interesting. Plus, you don't have to physically BE in NYC to "take" the tour!

    I live in Manhattan, have taken many tours, but this one was the most comprehensive. Kitt’s enthusiasm is contagious! I appreciated her attention to detail and her obvious dedication to very well researched subject matter.
