I booked a tour with Stan O’Connor and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best tours we have taken in any city we have traveled to throughout the U.S.A. Stan met us as we docked from the Ellis Island ferry. It was crowded, and we quickly got confused as to where we were supposed to meet him.

Stan to the rescue! He told us to stand still, and he found us in a mass of people. Stan’s tour was amazing. We could clearly tell the difference between a professional at work and some guy just trying to make a buck on tourists. Stan was detailed, knowledgeable, articulate, courteous, and professional. We saw and learned more in an afternoon with Stan than on all our trips to New York City.

My husband and I highly recommend Stan O’Connor if you are interested in learning more about New York City. You won’t be disappointed.
