Testimonials

We go to Marty for our Architectural Tours. I run a large event company for singles and when interviewing different guides for the position I found Marty to fit the bill perfectly. He is charming, interesting, and a delight to be with. He is skilled in captivating an audience through his knowledge, stories, and pictures while guiding us through the city's most historical neighborhoods. I would recommend any person or group who is interested in learning about the art of our city's structure and the depth of its past to go to Marty. Marty is hands down a quality person who give a quality experience.

Hi Marty,
receiving these photos has been one of the warmest and unexpected gifts in our trip from Rome (where we live) to New York. Maybe life is made of such funny moments like that one, that give us a sense of belonging to a wide net of human beings that we do not know but we might call friends anyway. Thank you.

We thoroughy enjoyed Marty's company and comments on the history and architecture of Manhattan and Brooklyn. He told us numerous stories of buildings and people we previously knew nothing about--showed us how to use the subway. An excellent day.

Marty was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and the buildings. He would point little things out to us that if we were on our own, we would have missed. Marty is a true New Yorker.
