I was born in NYC, but moved away when I was young and haven’t visiting much since then. Now I am planning my first trip back as an adult and it would be nice to be re-introduced to my ‘home town’ by someone who is so passionate about the city! Looking forward to it!!

I’ve been to NY hundreds of times, but I learned so much from Philip’s practical, architectural, historical, art and gossipy knowledge of everything NY. Highly recommend these tours.
