Knowledgeable & Friendly Tour Guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Annabel was fantastic! friendly, patient and Incredibly knowledgable about NYC history and architecture. She was very flexible and adjusted the tour based on what we were most interested in.

An amazing experience for those who know NYC and those who donā€™t

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Annabel was truly amazing. She took the time to learn about us, our level of knowledge about NYC and our interests in learning about the architecture. Her tour was engaging and tailored to our interests. We live in NJ and have been to NYC many times. My husband worked on Park Ave for 7 years. We learned things about places we passed many times and knew nothing about. I recommend this tour to those who think the know about the city as well as first time travelers. Annabel is sure to make it a worthwhile adventure.

Excellent tour!

Annabell is a delightful, experienced, well-informed and personable tour guide who shared a wealth of architectural history with us. We highly recommend her on every level.

What a wonderful way to spend a morning in New York City

Published on Nov, 2024

Annabelle was an amazing tour guide. She opened our eyes to the architecture of so many New York City buildings, old, and new. She walked us across time from the early skyscrapers until the modern buildings of today. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and passionate. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and recommended to everyone
