Just came back from the Upper East Side Architecture Tour!

WOW, what an experience! We saw the Metropolitan Museum and strolled through Central Park, and the history behind each building was just fascinating. The guide was fluent in both English and Spanish, which was a nice touch. If you’re considering this tour, definitely go for it! Perfect for anyone who loves design and history!
