The mix of real history and his own stories kept all of us entertained the whole way through, and I say that as someone who has lived here a long time and has heard a lot of New York trivia. He was great with people. He asked us questions, remembered the answers, and made a point of talking with everyone as we moved between stops. The weather was a question mark that morning and he had already sorted out how to handle it, so it never became our problem. Everything leading up to the day was organized and clearly communicated too. Worth every penny. We'd do it again.

I open the app 40 minutes before the tour. It tells me the tour starts at the church next to the One World Trade. Ok so we trek over to St Paul's chapel at 9:45. No one to be found. Waiting around until I check the app about 9:55ish (tour starts at 10) and notice it says to message in the app messenger for specific meeting location. So I shoot a message. I wait until 10:15 and still no response at which time I decide to just go ahead a go buy new tickets. I don't get a message back from Nina B until 1:45pm (3 hours and 45 minutes after the tour starts ) telling me it's my fault I didn't check the email even though the app tells you to communicate and get the tickets in the app. She would not accept any responsibility and refused a refund. So I had to do a charge back, which I obviously won. See my communication times and screen shots below. BEWARE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I told you I would get my money back Nina B

We tried calling while at the port, to all 3 numbers provided. The one on their confirmation letter was disconnected, the other no one ever answered, stating that the voice mail was full, to try back later. We tried for over an hour, but could never even leave a message. The third number was a local number to something with just an answering machine, which was in Norwegian. Since returning we have sent several emails, and left numerous voice mails, all very polite, explaining the situation, but no one has ever gotten back to us. We are pursuing a refund through the credit card company.

Great tour!!! The…read moreonly hiccup was the bus was unmarked and not parked in front of McDonalds as described on the website/email instructions. I had just explained to my son the importance of arriving early because arriving on time makes you late(he wondered why we left the hotel early though we were only a couple of blocks away from McDonalds.) The unmarked bus was parked across the street in front of the Paramount building. We were in line for a different tour who was parked in front McDonalds who informed us that we were in line for the wrong tour and pointed to the unmarked bus. We still arrived on time. I then explained to my son that situations like this is why you arrive early. I had a ton of missed calls and was contacted by email but a sign of some sort would've helped(a magnetic sign on the driver and passenger doors, or a foldable sign that can be transported on the bus) as I noticed the bus from across the street(the same side as Applebees and Ellen's Stardust Diner) but had no way of identifying it.

He came to NYC as a teen in1922, you will see a handful of his sculptures in some of the buildings and airport. This museum has three floors and a basement, museum store and a garden. Today's admission is free due to 4th of July celebration. Museum's gallery section is unique and different from one another. Visitors are not allowed to take flash photography and touch the sculptures or art display. However, being me I put that to the test. Hehehe. Staff were obsequious and professional. Free wifi. Plenty street parking. Admission is affordable. Overall, I had a nice experience discovering Isamu's art.

Also chess boards were set-up in different areas of the museum. There is a gift shop, and restrooms. Close to Socrates Park so was a long walk from the Steinway St-M R station.

The conservationists are doing a lovely job of keeping the park clean, vibrant, and beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised by the lakes; I didn't expect to see them in the middle of a bustling and stereotypically rigid NYC. The park was full of families enjoying a day out, kids playing games, lovers taking a stroll, tourists using up all of their iCloud storage, fitness fanatics getting in their workouts, musicians sharing their talents with the world, readers who found a quiet place away from all of the aforementioned, and people watchers, like me. There is plenty of space for everyone here. Even though I've been to NYC multiple times in my life, I don't recall ever coming to Central Park. The familiarity comes from all of the movies, TV shows, commercials, and even social media pictures and videos that have featured the beauty of this park as a backdrop. (John Wick, is that you??) Yet make no mistake. This gem, a mixture of GOD's masterpiece and the works of man, is no mere supporting actor. Central Park gives main character energy, which is central to its plot of allure.
