I went with my Social Group Black Baby Boomers just want to have fun. We had a lot of fun. The guide was very informative.

My group loved it thank you.

Awesome. Luby our tour guide was funny, entertaining, and well informed. Didn't know anything about the underground railroad or slavery in NY and Luby knew it all in great detail.So glad we got a chance to take this tour.

Eye-opening!

Very informative

Beyond words. What a great tour guide Ludie is. Essential walking tour.

There wasw a lot of physical anthrololgy and not enough story and not enough about what I didn't already know. My husband found it more interesting than I did.

It was a sunny day and did not rain. Large tour group. I thought tour guide walked too fast for seniors in group but everyone kept up the pace and guide very knowledgeable. Several historical sights to see including the sacred African Burial...continued

It was a bittersweet sublime experience. Damaris, the guide, took an excruciating subject and provided insight, historical context and glimpses of paths to reconciliation and healing. Whether or not I agreed with all her interpretations of the...continued

The story of slavery and abolitionist support is amazing and I learned a lot. I was interested in knowing where the public slave market was and the burial site near City Hall for slaves. It gives you more perspective on this shameful part of...continued

Enjoyed the tour and information given. The tour should include the African American Museum or at least tell the group about the museum especially since the tour ended around the corner from it.

Allison was interesting, knowledgeable, and very thorough.. I feel she did a wonderful job of presenting the material in a factual manner with many insightful comments.

I learned a lot about New York City’s beginning and Stephan makes people comfortable talking about “a difficult part” of America’s history that still impacts our relationships and how we as Americans interact with each other.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and I learned so much (even as a New Yorker) that was never taught in the history book. I highly recommend it to everyone! I work in lower Manhattan and walked by many of the sites discussed everyday not know...continued
