Hi Jared,
....
I really
enjoyed the tour and your willingness to adapt to suggestions on the
fly. It was clear that you really are an NYC expert and you could handle
any suggestion or question that we threw at you. I also know that KB
really appreciated some of the historical insights that you shared
during the tour.
I have left your business card with my AirBnb host and will be recommending you to any friends that visit NYC.
Thanks again and hopefully see you next time I visit NYC.
Cheers,
KM

"Hi Jared
They loved the [Holden Caufield Catcher In the Rye] tour and they said you were great - so thank you very much."
Among the sights: Grand Central, the nearly hidden, once popular Biltmore Clock*, Central Park, the Carousel, the Mall, and the American Museum of Natural History.
*The guard was kind to let us in. He got such a kick out of me reading the relevant passage from the book.

"I can't say enough about how great our tour was. Jared is very personable and a great storyteller. He was a wealth of information on a huge variety of topics and he tailored every part of the tour to our group's interest. We had a chance to explore off the beaten path and the most iconic parts of NYC.
We ate at wonderful shops, saw amazing views, learned so much history and fully enjoyed New York. His tour reignited my excitement for the city."Thank you.

Private Guided Walking Tour of Central Park
I arranged for a private walking tour of Central Park for my friend and I for our last day in the city. This particular tour ... was money well spent. The guide, Jared, contacted me the day before to arrange a specific spot to start and end the tour. This made it very helpful to locate him and arrange a pick up when we were through. Jared was fantastic! Not only was he knowledgable on the history and beauty of Central Park, he had a fantastic way of telling the story of it. He was just a pleasure to listen to and walk this beautiful park with. It felt like I was talking to a good friend with a vast knowledge of New York City and its landmarks. Jared kept the pace going so we were sure to see the most important highlights of Central Park. The tour was 2.5 hours but I could have easily gone another hour. Jared was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this particular guide!
Our tour guide Jared was very knowledgeable and willing to customize the tour to our wishes. He made for a very enjoyable and day at both museums [two tours: of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and a tour of the American Museum of Natural History AMNH].
