Had an awesome experience - this tour gave us insight into NY and its history that we couldn’t have gotten alone. Dave was really personable and his local knowledge invaluable. Food was great too

David is een ontzettend aardige man met veel kennis over de east village. Hij vertelt boeiende verhalen over de kunstenaars en artiesten die hier woonden. Onderweg regelt hij heerlijke hapjes uit de diverse culturen die hier wonen. Het was onvergetelijk, een hoogtepunt in onze week New York!
