Adam's Tour, Brooklyn Bridge

This review is to highly recommend Adam Guy of "I Know A Guy NYC Tours". It was the first time my husband, adult daughter, & I had visited NYC. When we travel, we love learning about the history of the area & usually sign up go on a few guided tours. After reading Adam's outstanding online reviews, we decided to sign up for his private tour. I was soon to learn firsthand why people raved about him. A few weeks before we arrived in NYC, Adam called me so we could discuss what we wanted to see & what our plans were during our stay. He wanted to get to know us so he could create a tour around our interests. Adam recommended that we start our vacation with his tour which proved to be great advice. As a senior, I was also concerned about doing too many stairs & Adam took that into account. He also said that I could call/text him if I had any additional questions before the trip. When I hung up the phone I knew we'd made a good choice. On our first full day in NYC we went on Adam's 3 1/2-hour walking tour of Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, & the Brooklyn Bridge. He met us at our hotel & then led us to the subway. Adam wanted us to learn how to comfortably take the subway around NYC during the rest of our stay. That knowledge proved to be so helpful. As we walked through each neighborhood, Adam shared lots of fascinating current & historical details about what we saw. His stories were educational, often humorous, very memorable, & never boring. The tours the rest of the week made more sense because of the foundation & perspectives he had provided. Can't say enough good things about Adam. It was great to have a personal guide focus on our interests & at our pace. I also recommend Adam's tours for families, because you don't have to keep up with a group. So glad I discovered his website during an online search. All 3 of us loved his tour & are happy to recommend him to our friends.

Adam giving us great insight while we do a selfie!

Adam is the GREATEST tour guide! He works with you to determine what interests you most, and then you are off on a daylong adventure filled with information, insight and lots of fun! Adam knows so much, but what makes it so much fun is that he is passionate about the subjects he covers, and he doesn't do "mass tours" which means you get personalized service...we explored Roosevelt Island, the West Village and Brooklyn Heights - and every stop was filled with surprising locations - plus he highlighted some of the great local food in the West Village as well - a flawless day - his energy level is amazing, but you never feel rushed...he really is the best.

Scammy, unresponsive, and complete trash! Ordered the 9/11 museum tour for 5 people - $395. Was…read moretold to download the app to access the tickets. Fast forward to the day of the tour. 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

My granddaughter and I throughly enjoyed our tour. She also took photos for us and our group at any of the stops. She was so professional and we highly recommend her and this company.

They asked to hang out with him the rest of the week. He stopped for snacks and let me customize the day according to what the girls were interested in learning.

After touring with Luke twice in 2011 (group tour as a couple in April then a private tour on a…read moregirls trip in October) when we were planning our itinerary for our trip back to NYC in November 2025 with our 11 year old son, Real New York Tours was the top of our list. We chose the private family tour and booking was quick and easy and the customer service as great as I remembered. On to the tour itself: Luke met us at the Museum of Natural History on time and we got reacquainted. My son is autistic and can have some trouble warming to new people but absolutely no the case with Luke, he immediately put my son at ease and they were chatting like old friends as we made our way into Central Park. The tour covered loads of Central Park, including an exciting off track visit to a secret cave, the plaza hotel, grand central station, some fun subway rides, and concluded at the Brooklyn Bridge. But more than just seeing so many iconic sites, Luke had hundreds of facts and stories (which my son loved) about what we were seeing. It was truly like spending a wonderful day with an old friend. I cannot recommend highly enough Luke and Real New York Tours. Until next time!
