Our guide, Murray, was professional and knowledgeable. We learned all about Greenwich Village, including anecdotes about celebrities and about the Weather Underground. We used our NYC Pass to pay for it, and didn't have high expectations. We just wanted to learn a bit about the Village. This tour far exceeded my expectations.

As a family of five with 3 children (ages 7, 10 and 17), I was a bit reluctant to schedule a tour, fearing that it would be difficult to please everyone. But my husband and I were hoping to see the sights in lower Manhattan and had no idea where to go or what to do. I scheduled a 9/11... More

The walks are greats great way to see New York and gain a local's perspective. The success of the walk does depend on your tour leader. We did the Harlem, Greenwich, Food in Foot and Wall St Walks. Harlem was our favourite but they all had heaps to offer. Give yourself plenty of time to find your starting point. We... More

Rob introduced himself while we were booking our water taxi (we had the New York Pass) and said that his tour was included with our pass if we'd like... More

I did the Greenwich Village Walking Tour, and had a great time. We had finished the tour a little early so the guide took us a few extra blocks continueing to share her love and knowledge for the city. I found some neat little nooks and crannys that I would like to revisit. Thanks so much for a great time.

We were so pleased to happen on Big City Walks. We just took their Lower Manhattan tour yesterday and I learned more in the 2 1/2 hour walk than the 5 years that I had lived in NYC! I wish I had known about them before. I had purchased a Yellow Taxi hop-on pass online since it included entrance to... More
