"So exiting! I literally traced the foot steps of Lucky Luciano and all the greats -- and heard the colorful stories behind them. It was truly facinating!"
-Alan Corvin, Washington

"Every American owes it to themself to take this tour... (our guide) passionately detailed the birth of a modern nation... It was incredible story-telling; thank you!"
-Susan Bishop, TX

"Whether you're into punk rock or the immigrant history of the Lower East Side, (this tour) offers a wealth of insight into the history and culture of this diverse New York City neighborhood."
-About.com review

"Our guide was a 4th generation Lower East Sider. This is the most authentic tour in NYC. Treat yourself to this tour if you want more than someone reading to you from a script!"
- Anne G., Boston, MA

"This was really enjoyable. I have lived here for over 20 years and it turns out I didn't know anything about my own neighborhood before this tour..."
-Stephen L., East Village, NY

"All the legendary bad guys did time on the Lower East Side: Lucky Luciano, Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel. Instead of trying to figure them out with movies-on-demand and pulp bios, follow in their footsteps, literally."
-Staten Island Advance

"This tour covers a lot of ground—more than 300 years’ worth—even if it only spans about four city blocks. Along the way, fourth-generation East Villager Eric Ferrara explains how, generations ago, anything below 14th Street was considered the Lower East Side, and makes a convincing case that the E-Vill, once the stomping grounds of the Astors, is returning to its aristocratic heyday."
