Subway tour offered great historical perspective about why NYC subway lines are the way they are today and why the decor and stations are as they are today. That part was awesome! I thought we might visit some closed to public areas which was disappointing because we didn't. Overall, great tour for the time and money just understand it is a history of the subway and you won't visit places you couldn't visit on your own.

This walking tour was fun and so informative. Our guide, Justin, shared a wealth of information through stories, explanations of what we were seeing and of what had been there before. This all made the history come alive. This was a unique and rewarding way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend for tourists or New Yorkers.

Richard was a wonderful guide who brought the Guilded Age alive for us. As residents of the city for over a decade it was wonderful to learn so much new information about this part of the city. He checked in with guests throughout the tour and answered our questions with great detail. Highly recommend!!!

Great tour highlighting buildings on and just off 5th Avenue starting at Grand Army Plaza and ending at the Metropolitan Museum. Learned about buildings no longer there and looked at buildings still there. Interesting stories and tidbits and visited a few secret spots!

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and shared many fun facts. Even on a rainy day, it was a very enjoyable day

I found this tour fascinating. Richard, the tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and conveyed it in a direct, easy to understand manner, adding charming anecdotal tidbits along the way. One gets a whole new way of looking at New York architecture and its high society past.

Ellis Island hard hat tour. Great tour, great guide, reccomend highly. Very interesting how immigrants were handled in the hospitals

Very interesting tour. The guide was extremely well prepared and knowledgeable. Not much walking involved, we rode between stations and heard explanations while standing on platforms, so little physical fitness is required. Dress lightly as the stations tend to be very hot because of the heat which gets airconditioned out of the trains. Depending on what musicians are trying to get money from subway riders by playing over the sound of the trains and announcements it can become very noisy so if you are noise-sensitive this may not be for you. But if you are interested in the history of New York City it is a must.

I went on the Powering NYC: East River Ferry Tour and enjoyed it very much. The guide was quite knowledgeable about power generation and distribution. Additionally, the ferry ride was quite enjoyable in and of itself. Highly recommended.

An excellent tour. Very informative. Richard was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and able to answer lots of questions.

What joys of the subway are missed in the hustle and bustle of people's commutes! Our guide, Richard, lived his entire life in NYC. This was evident in his grasp of, and love for, the history of this great city. He was flawless and patient. We walked, rode subways and learned, all at the right pace. I'll never look at this engineering marvel in the same way again. Thanks you untapped New York!

Our guide, Cullen, was terrific! He created the tour "Powering New York City: East River Ferry tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. The whole experience was enlightening and it was a pleasure to travel along the East River beyond Hell Gate and see NYC and its power plants from the water. Highly recommend.

The tour was awesome! Having deep New Amsterdam roots herself, Mandy our guide brought characters and places from 400 years ago back to life. Her modern day insight and deep historical knowledge provided a great perspective and balance of the good and not so good events. Because of the time we spent with her I have a much better understanding of my past and the past we all share because of this little island. Congrats to a job well done by Untapped New York and I would highly recommend their tours. I will make it a point to call on them again when in the area. The problem is which tour is next!

Went on the NYC’s Irish Roots Tour - had a great time walking around! I'd never heard of the Irish Hunger Memorial, where we started, and while I was familiar with a lot of the history discussed on the tour it was great to have that linked to specific places. Ashley Cathalain, the guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

AJ was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of the NY subway system and enthusiastic in the relaying of this history. It was a most interesting tour. I am an engineer, and I would have liked to hear more about the workings and construction of the subway itself.
