"Frank was so engaging and knowledgeable—the perfect ambassador for NYC. I felt like my architecture tour was an excuse to step out of the crowd, slow down a beat, and appreciate the cityscape instead of rushing by. Frank has tons of dates and details at his fingertips, but his tour would serve as a great midtown orientation for anyone (not just architecture nerds). You can tell he’s guided people from all over the world and has a NYC historical or pop cultural reference for everyone to connect with. Highly recommend and I’d happily book another next time I’m in town!"
