If anyone is a regular reader of this blog, you know how I love tours! But not those "hop-on, hop-off" buses, the real tours given by the fabulous folks who live in New York City. It took me a while to take my first tour, but once I did, I wondered why I waited so long! You can walk around on your own, but you may not know what you are looking at, or the history of the area you are enjoying. I find the food tours the best because you also have lunch or various snacks on the tour, and it hold you for the afternoon. These tours take you places you would never think to go yourself, and then later you can always go back on your own if you liked the place that much. There is no thinking involved in these guided tours, you just follow your guide and enjoy the ride! I also find these great to visit other boroughs that you may not be familiar with such as Brooklyn, Flushing and Staten Island.
