We had such a fantastic experience with CityShuffles! The tour was perfectly paced—never rushed, and always engaging. Our guide, Garrett, was incredibly friendly, witty, and knowledgeable, bringing the city’s history and hidden gems to life in such a fun and memorable way. My boyfriend and I left feeling like we had discovered an entirely new side of New York. We’d highly recommend CityShuffles to anyone looking for a top-quality walking tour that blends great storytelling with local insight.

American history or rather NY history is rather complicated but it was explained beautifully explained by Garette.
