"When I asked the girls what their favorite part of the trip was,
they ALL said "the tour!" They really liked that you made references to
things that they were familiar with. We had an awesome trip--great
weather, incredible shows and awesome food. [Mother] and the girls were very
happy with your suggestion of Keen's for lunch--it was really good. If
someone is looking for a recommendation for a restaurant after the
theater, we ate at Da Rosina's Italian restaurant on 31st St., and it
was great! Reasonable prices for NY, and the food was wonderful.
Thanks again for a great tour!"

I am so proud that my tour was the best part of their trip to New York City!
This was a very memorable tour for me, too.
I knew it was going to go well, when, on a cold autumn day, the group of mothers and daughters all laid down for a fun picture at the Imagine Mosaic in Central Park's Strawberry Fields!
We then appreciated the Christmas Holiday in midtown New York, visiting a couple of hotel lobbies' Christmas trees, Trump Tower and Ivanka's favorite Starbucks, the Tiffany Diamond, and the department stores' windows, especially Bergdoff Goodman's. There was so much wonderment!
The visit culminated at the renovated New York Public Library's Reading Room. The girls were smelling the smell of the old books, and were posing in the phone booths. We had a great experience looking at old city street maps in the Map Room, and we got to see the original Winnie the Pooh dolls.
I will always remember this group when I visit the New York Public Library and Strawberry Fields.

The holiday season is a great time to reflect on the year and reconnect with those who support us.
A valued Tour Operator from the western United States sent me chocolates, and these meaningful words:
"Thank you so much for sharing New York with our guests. You are wonderful and great to work with."
Much Love,
[Tour Operator]

"What a fun tour!"
On December 14th 2016 I led a Santa: the NYC Tour, which is based on historic facts about New York City's impact on Santa Claus, who was born here, transforming him from the Dutch St. Nicholas, Sinter Klaas. We visit his birthplace, where he was seen, and where he was described in literature and illustration. This was a walking tour of Lower Manhattan for a group of ten, but this tour can use a vehicle.
