Lina made our walking tour of Soho a wonderful experience. She is warm, approachable, passionate, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of New York City. I highly recommend Gotham Walking Tours and looking forward to participate in the next one!

I had a wonderful experience with this tour. My experience with most tours is of walking around accompanied by memorized drone of facts and canned anecdotes. With Gotham walking tours that is not the case. They provided me with a much more personal and tactile experience. Like on a treasure hunt - we peered behind the shuttered backs of buildings,...

It was a pleasure taking the Soho Walking Tour with Lina as have been all of the other tours that I have taken with her. Lina is extremely knowledgable of New York City neighborhoods and her attention to detail is impressive. I learn so many new things every time I take a Gotham Walking Tour and I recommend the tours... More

Even as a life long New Yorker with roots that go back nearly 200 years, I learn so much everytime I have been on a Lina tour. She gives you the inside track on the who, why, where of it all. Places I have walked by for nearly 50 years now have a whole new meaning after Lina's tour. Sometimes... More

Lina is so knowledgeable about NYC and she loves teaching you! It was a pleasure learning about NYC on the walking tour at Union Square and the Upper East Side. I learned things that native New Yorkers do not know. I highly recommend for everyone who wants to know more about New York City and it's history to contact Lina!!

I spent a wonderful afternoon with Lina and a great group of others, walking around the upper east side of the city. Lina is a wealth of information, loved learning how Central Park played an important part of the development of this... More

The unique special attention to story telling detail is what Lina is all about. Plus she is fun!!! Do not hesitate to book a tour of a New York neighborhood and have a great time learning about important architectural details, history, design and personal experiences. Lina is a smart New Yorker suited perfectly for this role. Go Lina!

Cultured, kind and great company: Lina is exactly the kind of person I'd recommend discerning travellers spend their precious, limited time in this city with. As a travel writer testing out walking tours of the City for the Louis Vuitton New York Guide 2014, I wanted to meet professional guides I could recommend in the guidebook. Smart, interesting, and warm,... More
