This tour was an interesting and memorable foray into the heart of New York City’s subway system. Our guide, AJ, was passionate, knowledgeable, and even took the time to address a fellow customer who was behaving rudely—something we really appreciated. I booked this tour as a surprise birthday gift for my partner, who loves transit systems, and AJ shared fascinating insights that even my partner didn’t know! Spanning several different subway stations with surprises at each stop, this experience is one we won’t soon forget. I recommend visiting the New York City Transit Museum beforehand to get a general sense of the subway system’s history, and then letting AJ, or one of the other fantastic guides, bring that history to life through real-world context and stories. Thank you, AJ, for an unforgettable experience!

Very interesting and A J. was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us all over without missing a beat. Even though we're locals we enjoyed learning the hidden history.

Let me caveat this review by stating I am a transportation geek. So I found the tour fascinating! If you’ve ever wondered why the NYC subway system is so huge and complex, take this tour! AJ explained it all in detail! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, he managed to keep our group together as we navigated multiple stations and trains. The tour is well paced, but covers a ton of information! If you are looking for something a little different to better understand some of New York’s history, take this tour. And yes, you will see that traffic has ALWAYS been bad here!
