I highly recommend Gotham Walking Tours. Lina does all the tours herself and she is absolutely delightful. Having lived in this city for almost a decade, including the neighborhood we toured, and being a student of architecture and design, I didn’t expect to learn that much new information but I was so wrong! She discussed history, design, and stories that...

We bought this tour as a surprise for out father as an early father's day gift. My dad already had a list of places he wanted to see (and researched) and besides being an Army veteran, he has had his nose in history books for as long as I can remember. In fact, I called him up once in undergrad...

Lina was a wonderful and informatice tour guide. She gave me insight into the history of the various areas we walked through...like Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village...that I either didn't know or had never noticed. I've lived in New York most of my life and feel like I have a better understanding of the how and why of it all....

On May 14, 2011 my hubby and I spent 6 fascinating, fact filled hours with Lina. We started at Central Park, then a short subway ride to the Village and surrounding neighborhoods and eventually the financial district. Lina transported us back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. Her vivid descriptions of those eras made history come alive. We saw...

We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Lina through Greenwich Village...the two hour tour felt like 30 minutes! My husband is not a walking tour fan, but after our morning with Lina, he had nothing but raves about our walking tour. We are anxious to return to NYC to explore another part of the city. Thanks to Lina, I now...

We took the villages tour May 3, 2011...When planning my sister-in-law's 40th birthday celebration trip to NYC I first booked Lena, then planned the rest of the trip.This is my second tour with her. With every turn of a block Lena, has a history lesson, Places without her we would have just walked by without even noticing the rich history...

We recently went on a walking tour of lower Manhattan (the Financial District) with Lina of Gotham Walking Tours, and even though I live in Battery Park City, and have spent a great deal of time in lower Manhattan, I learned so much. My favorite part, was learning about the history of the infamous, brass bull at the foot of...
