“Real New York Tours was recommended to me by a colleague and it did not disappoint. What a great way to gain an understanding of the city and what it might be like to have lived in it. Trey was relaxed and engaging, and the info he shared gave us a great perspective. Myself and others in the group who had been to NYC before learned things we never knew. I would recommend this as a great tour option, especially to do in the first few days of being in NYC.”

“We completed a unbelievable day with Luke, owner and guide of Real New York tours. I can't say enough good things about our day. The tour is so worth the price it cost. Learned how to navigate the subways as well. It was a perfect first day in NYC and gave us invaluable tips and an overview of the city to explore for the rest of our time visiting. Skip the Big Bus tours and book with Luke, you won't regret it. I would give it 6 stars if I could”
