Max is an excellent tour guide. Encyclopedic knowledge of the area. We went through the Chelsea Market and told us all about the history of it. We walked along the Highline and he showed us things the casual tourist might miss. It's the small details that make the tour special! We then walked through the West Village along to Washington...

Someone visiting our town of Turkey Scratch can see it all in about two hours. Not so in NYC. That's why you need Max! He did a great job making the Central Park tour informative, fun, and interactive. The small group size allowed Max to interact with and answer questions from the group. It was a great way to learn... More

We had the pleasure to take a tour with Max of CityRover Walks NY and it was great! We were looking for a tour that would not be all touristy with focus on only the obvious seights of NYC, but for something more local with some more background information and stories on the real hotspots for NYC locals. We decided... More

This was our fourth tour with City Rover and was well worth it. The history and architecture of Chelsea Market, the High Line, the Meatpacking District, Greenwich Village and Washington Square were discussed in depth. All food samplings are included in the price of the tour. As usual a bottle of water is provided and Max shares his intelligence and... More

Small group which was really nice. We've seen parts of the city which you normally wouldn't discover as a tourtist walking on your own. Lots of stops to experience the local restaurants and bakeries. Highly recommended for first time visitors.

We took the village sampler tour on our first trip to New York. We met our tour guide, Danielle, outside the Chelsea market along with 8 others. Danielle is very friendly and made us all feel relaxed. We saw Chelsea market, the highline, the meatpacking district, Greenwich village and ended in Washington Square. We learned a lot of interesting facts,... More

The best way to get to know New York! Max takes you to place that otherwise you wouldn't even think existed! Know NY like a new yorker does.

My first walk with CityRover was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Danielle, was very knowledgeable and engaging; you can see she loves what she does! The purpose of my trip was to learn more about the city that is in my backyard, and I will definitely feel comfortable exploring the High Line, Chelsea Market and the Village on my... More

It's all about Max. I started off getting The Brooklyn Bridge tour. We started at City Hall and learned the early history of NYC. We then started our little 3 hour trek across the bridge, stopping along the way at each tower to learn the history of the creation of the bridge. We had 11 people on the trip and... More

We have taken two tours with CityRover...the Brooklyn Bridge/DUMBO walk and the Chelsea Market/West Village walk. Max, our guide, was amazing. He is so well-informed, and points out a lot of things that you might have walked right by without him along. He has a real passion for the history and beauty of NYC. I enjoyed the tours immensely, and... More
