Explore Manhattan's icons, Brooklyn's street art, Queens' diversity, the Bronx's history, or Staten Island's views—or combine boroughs!

Discussions

Thinking about gifting a private NYC walking tour—anyone done this?

I’m considering getting this private walking tour for my sister’s birthday. She’s never been to NYC and I think exploring with a local like Denis would be amazing! I’m curious if anyone has done this and if Denis really knows all the hidden gems he talks about? What boroughs did you guys explore? Thanks!

Private NYC walking tour or just a guidebook?

I’m in NYC for a short trip and debating if this private walking tour is worth it. It’s $0, which is confusing. Is it really just tips at the end? Would it be better to just explore with a guidebook? Looking for insights!
