New Year’s Eve Drinking, History & Live Balldrop Bash (Dec 31st @ 4:30pm)Reviews

Katherine was a fantastic and engaging tour guide, taking us to three very different but very fun speakeasies. She was super helpful at recommending and helping us order drinks and made sure all of us were taken care. This was the exclamation point to our trip and was quite memorable. I would highly suggest as a unique and different way to see the City!

My sister and I did the speakeasy tour and had the best time! Ryan was amazing! It was so good, my husband and I are doing it in January.

Katherine is the best. From theater history to Christmas bars to authentic speakeasies from prohibition this tour has it all

Katherine was such a fun, engaging tour guide! She provided really interesting stories about the prohibition area and the speakeasies we visited. It was a well-run and fun tour and we’d highly recommend!

Katherine is amazing!!!! She was so funny and taught us so much about history and gave great recommendations. 100% would come back!

Best guided tour for a fun night Katherine was an amazing guide. My friend and I had such a blast. A shout out to Allan (Adam), Livia, Vanessa and Lily. We loved the whole experience and learned so much about an important part of NY history.

Ariel was the best guide!!! Ariel was our guide and she was amazing! So kind and knowledgeable! It was my birthday weekend and everything was so cool! Ariel deserves all of the good things. Thanks❤️

Really fun speakeasy adventure tour of midtown! Took my work team of 12 while on an offsite in NYC and everyone loved the experience. Ryan was an excellent guide and really balanced the history of the tour while also letting my teammates and I interact. Fun, unique experience.

We had a great time on this tour, Charlie was a lot of fun and provided great history of the city and the locations we visited. Highly recommend!

The tour offered an exclusive experience of NYC and a peak into history. I was able to meet wonderful people from different countries and cultures.

Arielle was FANTASTIC!! What a wonderful guide! Professional, knowledgeable, kind, funny, helpful, welcoming and so much fun!!! Excellent tour with great bars!!

Very entertaining way to learn about NYC during prohibition. Ariel was very entertaining and informative. Highly recommend this tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Wish I would've brought my water bottle.

Excellent guide, delicious cocktails, fun bars Our guide had unique, in-depth knowledge of the topic at hand, plus was very personable. The 3 locations were each very different, and the amount of walking was very minimal (although I wouldn’t say the tour was accessible for someone needing significant physical accommodations - perhaps contact the company). At the end, she brought us to an optional location, which I would have definitely stayed had it not been a Sunday evening. This was a safe and enjoyable experience, for me, as a single woman, to enjoy an evening out, try interesting cocktails, and feel that I learned something new about the area.

Had such a fun time thanks to Rory! Definitely recommend for anyone visiting the city like me. I loved everything

This tour is AMAZING and Totally Unique. Whether you're a tourist or a curious New Yorker, I Highly recommend it, especially for anyone who loves superior cocktails made to perfection, along with an entertaining and intriguing history of New York City's best kept secrets. I went alone and loved meeting the other people on the tour. You can't go wrong with this one ~ so much fun!

Kamala was awesome. So upbeat and interesting. We had a great time. Cheers! Great information about the prohibition time frame. We will definitely be back to visit all the bars.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and historical information provided by Ariel. Ariel is the consummate professional, weaving themes, narratives, fun facts, recommendations, "if you are hungry, wait until the next stop for particularly yummy food", etc. Surprises awaited us at each venue. The speakeasies on the tour were delightful spaces. The logistics of the tour were well-planned with reserved spaces awaiting our group at each stop. The timing felt appropriate. We moved along but also had time to relax and enjoy each space. As I love to say, this was definitely not TellTale Tours or Ariel's first rodeo. As for the attendees, despite being at different stages of our lives and from various states/countries/first languages, several of us bonded into a festive crowd that I was sorry to say bye to at the end of the night. Definitely do this tour!

Chill night out in NYC Very entertaining and informative guide. Had a great time. We went to three different bars with seemingly increasing history and involvement in the prohibition era. Cool spots.

Great trip into the dubious elements of history learning about the libations of prohibition and beyond. Delicious cocktails and Katie was an excellent guide. Great ensemble to wander talk and drink with.

We had the absolute best time on the Speakeasy tour in nyc. Our tour guide Sierra was amazing. Her personality was infectious, the tour was educational, and extremely entertaining. We… Detrain, Vanessa, Michael, and Sandy just love her!

Great tour! Tom was really nice and friendly, we had a great time!!!!

New York Girls Trip 40th Bday I had an amazing time with our tour guide Kamala. Each club was exclusive and fun. I had an amazing time. I loved the Speakeasy experience. Happy 40th to my special sister friend Lacey Russell. We enjoyed ourselves.

Very fun! Ryan was knowledgeable and the bars we went to were luxurious. Like little hidden surprises

Gwen was such an amazing tour guide. She really made it feel like a bunch of friends were hitting the town in NYC. She offered great recommendations for drinks and food on the tour, and things to do for the rest of our trip. I'll definitely be telling my friends to tour with Gwen, we had a blast.

An amazing tour of New York speakeasy history. Kamala was a knowledgeable and super fun tour guide. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Gwen was the best hostess!! Absolutely recommend this tour for good times! Meet great people, find those local places no one knows about.. have a blast!

History, Cocktails, and an Awesome Walk! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️ Tour guide Ryan along with guests from Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and Virginia had a blast! Ryan took us to three speakeasies in midtown/Hells Kitchen and gave us a very informative talk on the history of Prohibition, impact on New York, establishment of speakeasies, and the end of prohibition. Each pub was well versed in high-end mixology. Between the walk, the history, and the excellent drinks, this tour will not disappoint!

Fun! Our tour guide was informative and fun. Highly recommended for a tourist who likes good drinks and good company

Such a fun tour!! Met so many cool people from all over! Anna was a FANTASTIC tour guide and made everyone feel so comfortable and welcome. Interesting selection of bars, there's a vibe for everyone!

Really excellent tour hosted by Sarah, it was a great group and I had a lot of fun! 😄

Three of us took the New Years Tour with Eloise and highly recommend this as a must-see while in NYC. Eloise was a pleasure to spend time with and has a tremendous amount of patience and knowledge. She is veey easy to know and so fun to tour with. We were fortunate to have a private guided tour with her and visited three very unique establishments all with a storied history and fun anecdotes. The decor in each is worth the visit alone but the cocktails are true works of art. They are concocted by mixologists who are truly experts at their craft. we were greeted at each establishment with a smile and warm welcome that made us want to stay all night. The tour is well paced, and while we didn't order food, there is an option to do so which we will take full advantage of next time. And yes-- will be back again. If you like history, a little mystery, this is a great way to start your evening. Be sure to include it on your NYC bucket list.

Thus NYE event is all that you can hope for and better! 3 brilliant historic bar & eateries, great host and tour guides with great storytelling, a bit of walking and passing the public feeling like a "VIP" and of course- great experience to meet so many others from around the WORLD! Thank you Rory, Ryan and Jenna for a great start to 2023!

What a fun, safe way to ring in the new year! Thank you so much!

Great tour. Awesome spots that we would not have found on our own and we had enough time to enjoy the delicious cocktails at each location Ariel was an amazing guide

I had an incredibly fun and memorable experience on this tour with my tour guide Jack! This is a great opportunity if you’re touring solo and want to meet others who are visiting from different parts of the world or if you want to gather your loved ones together for a fun, drunken night full of great cocktails and cool history! I highly recommend :)

We had a great time with Jack our tour guide. All four locations on the rooftop and speakeasy tour were uniquely beautiful. You’d be surprised how much history connects to the events of prohibition. The drinks were tasty, and it is really convenient not having to wait in lines. Definitely one of the best ways to see New York City.

Lots of fun, friendly participants, knowledgeable host, drink and spend at your own pace, worth the price of admission.

Very educational as well as fun! A nice walk around midtown while getting info about the history and people involved in prohabition. The bars involved were great as well!

Loads of fun! Our tour guide, Kaitlyn, was Vivacious & full of energy! It was great to meet new people and learn about Hell’s Kitchen’s history . Totally recommend.

Our tour guide was Ariel she was so great & knew alot about prohibition! We did three different speakeasies very cool spots I will absolutely be going back. Great experience overall 10/10

Kamala was amazing! This was one of our favorite tours in NYC. We had such a great time and the drinks were awesome! Very informative and the perfect night out in the city. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or even if you’re a true New Yorker!

Incrível perfect!!! The best thing to do as a tourist Great guides good place to meet new people and feel the nyc history Just do it

Kamala was absolutely amazing! Wonderful experience, highly recommend!

Had an awesome time. Great people, good drinks and a wonderful tour guide.

Cocktails in Manhattan We loved the tour and Ryan was a great wealth of knowledge. We loved seeing the places to go and having their unique cocktails. My favourite was the “Fearless Agent” - Ketel vodka, strawberries, Balsamic vinegar, cracked white peppercorn served with a Parmesan shard. Different & definitely outside my comfort zone but loved it. Drinks were a bit pricey, but our Aussie $ is crap at the moment.

So fun and I learned so much! Rory is so great at what she does and her personality alone is reason to go! also AMAZING drinks! :)

We went on this tour with friends who live in New York City. We all learned something and had a great time!

Awesome tour! Tim was a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. We visited 3 SpeakEasys. The group ranged from ages 20 something to 60 something and all ages had a great time mixing and sharing stories. A fun way to meet new people and spend a Saturday night!

Me and me friend had a great time! The tour was interesting and our tour guid Emily was so bubbly and FUN! She was very knowledgeable and professional and we definitely recommend! 5 Stars!

Great time, friendly host. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

That was an amazing experience.

I’ve done a lot of tours in NYC, this one was by far my favorite. The venues we went to were stunning and full of great history. Our amazing guide was Rory. This passionate lady will make you go back in time to the prohibition era. Couldn’t recommend it more !

What not to like about this tour! Experienced a cool piece of New York history from a well informed and funny host while being fed yummy food and amazing drinks. I’ll recommend this tour to anyone I know heading for the Big Apple!
