CityShuffles - Guida turistica a New York

Mary was a fantastic tour guide—she shared lots of fun facts and kept us laughing throughout the tour. It was a really interesting experience, and I especially loved the Grand Central Library part, it was my favorite section. She pointed out details I definitely would have missed on my own, like the statues and their meanings.

If I had to recommend just one walking tour in New York, this SoHo, Chinatown, and Little Italy tour with John Barr would be it. He brings incredible energy and truly captures the spirit of New York. His storytelling is so engaging that it feels more like watching a live performance, he’s not just a guide, he’s a natural entertainer. The tour was fascinating from start to finish, full of stories and hidden details you wouldn’t notice on your own. We actually wished we had more time to join his 9/11 tour as well, because I’m sure it would be just as meaningful and insightful. Even though we had just arrived that morning and were pretty tired, we still had an amazing time. As a bonus, he even added a small Chinatown food experience at the end, which made everything even more memorable. We genuinely loved it—this is a must-do experience in New York.

The tour guide was having good knowledge about the NY history and building history and many more. She was very polite and humble.

John was an awesome guide. Learned a lot about Grand Central and saw secret spots. So glad I did this tour and highly recommend.
