    crazy holiday window displays
    Jennifer P.

    This was my second trip to NYC, and my first tour with Inside Out. I took a Holiday Lights Tour: it sounded like a perfect way to enjoy NYC at Christmastime! When I purchased the tour (via Groupon) I THOUGHT it was primarily focused on the lights, so I was super stoked to get some great shots of NYC in the winter! It turns out it was a Holiday MARKET Tour as well. (My mistake for not investigating further; however, a couple on our tour were under the same impression it was lights-only.) That was fine, but I'm not a big shopper, nor did I want to schlep a bunch of things home in my luggage. Massive crowds aren't my favorite. The markets themselves (we went to 4 of them!) were cute and had a lot of unique gifts. Some vendors were at multiple markets, so if you are indecisive at one stop, you just might get a second chance. Or third. Or fourth. Tour guide Katie was a wealth of information. I liked that she had some laminated pictures of notable people and events. I did feel that it was a teeny bit impersonal: I've been on shorter tours where the tour guide asks your name and gets to know you a little bit. Then again, maybe I was spoiled elsewhere! The best parts, for me, was seeing the light show at Saks Fifth Avenue and going to St. Patrick's Cathedral. I definitely could have done without the last market (Holiday Market at Union Square), which we had to take the subway to get to. We got there, were told it was our last stop, tour was over, and to enjoy. erm. So I pretty much ended up walking 3 blocks to take the subway BACK to where we began at Columbus Circle. Oy. It was a LONG tour - 4 hours! - so a little backpack with water and snacks is necessary, because if (when) you get hungry, your options are a food truck or waiting in line for food - which may or may not happen. Oh, and obviously dress for the weather. Even though it was 40 degrees and much warmer than the 20s I'm used to back home, I was so glad to have gloves! Overall it was an A-OK tour: the price and history were definitely worthy of the 4 hour time frame.

    We did the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO your with Kevin and he was phenomenal!! His love of history and passion for the city was infectious! Would highly recommend the tour and BONUS if you have Kevin!!

I'd recommend arriving earlier than we did (we showed up about 10 minutes before departure) because seats fill quickly, and it can be tough for groups to sit together.

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.

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!
