Essential Free walking tours of New York

Wonderful walking tour. Our tour guide Jon was excellent.

Such a knowledgeable tour guide and an exciting tour with lots of touching stories.

Amazing guy, witty funny, and highly knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend.

We took the Wall Street/Financial District tour with Gio and really enjoyed it. He was very engaging, had lots of interesting information, was great at answering questions and really knew his history well. I would highly recommend this tour.

I had Jon yesterday for the tour, he was absolutely fantastic. Very enthusiastic & knowledgeable. He took us to all the best spots and had great stories everywhere. Would definitely recommend.

I think it was the best tour I've ever taken with GuruWalk. Highly recommended!

Jon is such a great person, filling the tours with little stories besides all the more in-depth information about what you can (and what you sometimes cannot ) see. The tours didn’t feel rushed and I would advise to bring a little more time than expected so you can enjoy all the different sites, ask questions (Jon’s knowledge about the city goes way beyond what you would expect) and find out the best places for pretty much everything. I would definitely book a tour again if I’m back in the city. I really recommend CityShuffles (I heard the sunset Brooklyn Bridge tour is amazing too)!

Our guide Mary was so knowledgeable and entertaining, a true New Yorker with a vast historical knowledge of city infrastructure and history. Thankyou Mary for s great introduction to NYC!!!

John was an amazing guide with extensive knowledge of NYC history and local information. I couldntnhave wished for a better experience.

John was amazing. So much so, this was my second tour with him that week! He was very charismatic and entertaining, whilst providing so much interesting detail about New York. I particularly valued how he shared his own personal experience of 9/11 while at the memorial. If your in New York, you have to do a walking tour with John!!!

Jon is extremely knowledgeable and very passionated about NYC and it's people. He has very kind caring and entertaining approach, always open to different questions and welcome them with excitement and an opportunity to share an interesting story. He connected very well with each one of us regardless background or culture. He was an example of caring and kind New Yorker. I took two tours with him and both were absolutely fantastic and I learned interesting facts and stories. Thank you & keep up the great heart and passion for NYC! ~ Raya

Excellent tour and excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and pleasant! It was educational and very pleasant. Guide was polite, patient and went out of his way to provide additional information.

Muy buena actitud del guia Gio, muy amable y se notaba que sabia muy bien de lo que estaba hablando.

Very good experience and nice suggestions!

Excelente guía Christina, sabe mucho de historia y es muy agradable persona!

Gio was an amazing guide. This is a great walking tour to choose because you get so much of the rish histories and stories - from the original Dutch settlement to the 9/11 Memorial. Excellent and 10 out of 10!

Loved it ‘n

Muy recomendable

This was a really fascinating and moving tour. MJ was an incredible guide. She was super knowledgable about the history of the area, and the personal stories she shared during the very emotional visit to “Ground Zero” really made this a one of a kind tour. It was a privilege and honour to hear about the acts of everyday heroism carried out by normal people in one of the worst days in American history. Thanks so much, MJ, for sharing a bit of your countries history and culture with us. Would 100% recommend anyone visiting NYC does this tour.

Gio is a great tour guide. He knowledgeable and enthusiastic, always encouraging participation from the group.

Excelente guía

Fantastic walk, thank you.

Gabriel was an excellent guide. He was extremely informative and imparted a lot of interesting information. The length of the tour was just the right - about 2 1/2 hours and 7700+ steps!

Excelente el recorrido, Greg muy respetuoso y amable.
