After much research we opted for the Downtown Dozen tour which takes place on Sunday between 10 and 1. There was only myself, my partner and another gentleman on our tour which allowed us great insight into the history of the city on a really intimate level. The price was $40 per person and was well worth it, we were... More

No wonder it's the #1 tour in NYC. Trey embodies the enthusiastic New Yorker (though he's a transplanted Southerner). We did the "Dozen Apples" tour and Trey exhibited a wealth of knowledge of architectural, historical, and pop culture facts which he happily shared with our group. Super cardio workout too. As most mention, wear those comfortable shoes or you will... More

My friend and I were exploring New York for the first time together, and I am so glad I found this tour company! Our tour guide was Trey, and he was awesome! We did a walking tour the first day we were there, and that was my favorite part of our whole vacation. Exploring Greenwich Village, Little Italy, and China... More

I have been to NYC several times on business, but this was our first Family Trip - a birthday getaway for my wife and daughter. We booked Real New York Tours based on the great reviews on Trip Advisor and they were all true. Heidi (our awesome tour guide) took us to the not-so-often seen places. We wanted our tour... More

We are two brothers who did the "Dozen Apples" tour with Trey. This is an excellent day out and real value for money. There were only six of us in our tour so we got a real personalised tour. Make sure you wear very comfortable shoes as you will regret it later but don't worry, there are plenty of breaks... More

No ordinary tour, I spent half a day listening to the eloquent enthuiasm of "Broadway Greg" an ex actor, and teacher as he showed us around a small part of Greenwich Village, Soho and Downtown. His knowledge was astounding, his enthusiasm infectious and his love of New York obvious. He portrayed many of the qualities of New York itself, bold,... More

This was our first trip to New York City, and the Dozen Apples Tour was the highlight of our trip. Trey was our tour guide, and he was outstanding. He demonstrated a vast amount of knowledge about the city's history, and his delivery was very entertaining. Make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes for this tour as... More

What a way to experience New York! Thank you for a walking tour I will always remember. Fun, informative, well paced and interesting. Trey is a fantastic guide who showed us 'his' New York. You could sense that he loves this city and wanted us to feel the same. Well he succeeded. I can't recommend the walking tours highly enough.... More
