"New York City with Jared"
Reviewed June 27, 2013
We were very pleased with our tour of New York City with Jared.
His knowledge of NYC, along with his personal experiences – and his great sense of humor – was a perfect combination for our group.
He was great to work with during the planning of our tour and created a day tailored especially for our group.
We received lots of positive feedback from our tour participants and will definitely book with Jared on our next NYC tour. As a group tour planner, I highly recommend Jared.

“An amazing glimpse of NY's Lower East Side...”
Reviewed August 2, 2011
We booked a tour with Jared Goldstein of NY Urban
Adventures. It was a fantastic glimpse into the lives of the Jewish, Italian and Chinese immigrants living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
We walked and talked for almost three hours and stopped in many restaurants and stores for mini-visits and refreshments along the way. Jared pointed out lots of
interesting places and shared many "inside" stories; he also shared additional suggestions if we wanted to extend the tour on our own.
I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of NYC whether they are native New Yorkers, or not!

"Hello Jared,
Thank you for a wonderful tour of the Brooklyn Bridge, we all learned a great deal about the bridge’s importance not only to New York’s history, but the nation’s as well.
I know the group was very appreciative of your flexibility

Wir waren bei Jared in sehr guten Händen. Wir waren eine Gruppe aus drei Gästen also sehr individuell. Jared hat uns neben den Sehenswürdigkeiten von New York auch die geschichtlichen Hintergründe auf einer lockeren und interessanten Art näher gebracht - ein Erlebnis! Sein Geheimtipp mit dem Blick auf 9/11 war sehr beeindruckend. Das Ende an der Brooklyn-Bridge kam viel zu schnell.
We were in good hands with Jared. There were three guests, so it was individualized. Jared brought us next to the sights of New York and the historical background on an informal and interesting way closer - an experience! His secret viewing area of the 9/11 Memorial (and World Trade Center) was very impressive. The end of the tour at the Brooklyn Bridge came much too quickly.

“make the most of your trip”
Reviewed June 27, 2013
Touring with Jared was the perfect way to make use of a small window of time in NYC.
My brother and I were interested in disparate topics (9/11, Jane Jacobs/urban planning), but Jared was able to combine them in a coherent, meaningful way so we could both see what we wanted.
Not only that, but he was really intuitive about picking up on what struck our fancy as the tour was occurring and making on-the-fly adjustments and additions so that the tour was truly custom-made for us.
It dawned on me later that much of what we saw and did Jared was probably doing for the umpteenth time, but you never would have guessed it, so fresh and enthusiastic was his attitude. He truly loves the city and loves what he does, and he's funny, smart, and personable, so it was just such a positive way to make us feel like we did so much in what was only a short couple of days in NY.
Highly recommend, regardless of the size of your group, the amount of time you have, or what your interests are.

“New York Aficionado”
Reviewed June 22, 2013
We had a wonderful time New York City and we couldn't have done it without Jared the NYC Tour Guide. He was exactly what our group needed. He took our large group all over the city and provided a plethera of knowledge and information about the history of New York City.
As I said, we had a large group of all different ages and he provided fun and entertainment for all of us. He has a great personality and is very charismatic.
We loved the tour and we loved Jared. We are definitely coming back and will be seeing Jared again!
Thanks for a wonderful time. I would certainly recommend Jared.

1975: Over 100 die when an Eastern Airlines jet crashed while attempting to land at Kennedy Airport during a thunderstorm.
1987: Brooklyn's Jackie Gleason, bus driver Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners, – died at 71.
Today his statue stands outside the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
I use this as an opportunity to thank our coach's bus driver.
I think the statue should be lit.
1993: The FBI and the NYPD raided and stymied the Landmarks Plotters as they mixed up explosives for bomb making.
This was four months after the WTC was bombed.
The Landmarks plot was replayed in the Mumbai attacks.
I lived down the block from one of the Plotters.
2011: The New York State government ratified the same-sex marriage bill into law.
