Free walking tours in New York Contrasts

Mike had a great Knowledge about New York. Job Well Done 🙂

Mike was great, very friendly and informative. It was a fantastic way to explore part of New York I didn’t know so well worth the effort. Thanks Mike you were great

Very worthwhile experience but I should have done earlier in my 3 day stay in NYC not the last day

A very enjoyable tour; John was extremely knowledgeable about the bridge and Brooklyn Heights.

Interesting facts about architectural styles, the origin of the Brooklyn Bridge, lots of fun photo ops and recommendations for lunch afterward.

Great tour, lots of information, very good guide

Jon was very informative throughout the tour and shows us everything and more through Brooklyn! Would 100% recommend this tour, thank you Jon!!

Great informative, entertaining tour.

Excellent tour perfect timing. Our guide Mike was knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended

Our guide was very professional and extremely knowledged. He made sure that everyone was following properly. Great experience. Thank you.

Super Tour sehr empfehlenswert 👍

Great experience to know Brooklyn and other details from downtown Manhattan. P.S Jon is an excellent guide but also great photographer!

The places worth to see, different than crowded Manhattan

It was one of those rainy NY days, but Jon, our guide, was able to make it bright ! It was super and fun trip! Strongly recommend it!!!

Despite the rainy weather (which of course wasn’t in anyone’s control!), our guide made the experience really enjoyable. He didn’t rush through anything. In fact, he extended the tour to make sure we still got the most out of it. We were running a bit late because of traffic, but he was kind enough to share the group’s location so we could catch up without missing too much. Really appreciated the effort and energy, even in less-than-perfect weather conditions. A great way to explore Brooklyn!

I had an amazing experience on the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights & DUMBO walking tour with Jon Doto as our guide. Despite some rainy weather, Jon was incredibly adaptive — he found us shelter in a nearby café so the tour could continue comfortably. The tour itself was informative, entertaining, and very well-paced. Jon shared a ton of fascinating stories, bringing the history of the neighborhoods to life with his passion and humor. He also kindly offered to take photos for the group, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, it was a well-rounded and engaging experience, and Jon really went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this tour — and especially Jon as your guide!

Jon was a great guide. His diction was very clear. He kept our group moving along. He stoped for photo opportunities and pointed out the history of many of the buildings in Manhattan. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend any tour he is leading.

It was an amazing tour and amazing guide!

Thank you very much for the exquisite tour we had with Mike. Lots of details, interesting facts and anecdotes, lovely communication, caring, respectful. See you next time! Anne & Mathilda from Germany

Fantastic guide. Very informative and learnt lots of information..

It was pretty good. I really enjoyed. Thanks Jon. I will recommend your tour.

The tour was great! Jon tells a lot of history and interesting stories about the buildings and people along the route of the tour. He also takes his time to take some amazing pictures of everyone on and near the Brooklyn Bridge. These are great as a souvenir. This tour is a must when you’re in New York! In addition to this tour, we (a group of friends) also did the 9/11 tour with Jon, because we found Jon's tours to be of very high quality. He explains things very clearly and gives interesting information. We would definitely recommend Jon/cityshuffles as a guide in New York.

Mike did a great job! He’s an experienced guide, and he knows the historical places very well. The tour was a great time, we walked around Brooklyn, and he also took nice pictures. Ahh! And he speaks Spanish too!

Tour/route was very well thought through, information provided very profound and also on a personal level very recommandable. Very much appreciated.

John was interesting, knowledgeable, and most importantly a great guy!
