We joined you for part of the Fort Greene Park tour; unfortunately we had to leave after Clinton Avenue. (Sunday Nov.2)
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was full of facts, fun
and insights.

I was on the December 17th 12:30-14:00 of Grand Central Station. I loved the tour and will atke more MAS tours.
The leader was able to make himself heard to the group and above background noises.
Ii learned a lot of interesting architectural facts non architectural facts about Grand Central Station and viewed the light display.

I am a native New Yorker, a Big Apple Greeter and a frequent NYC tour-taker. Today I took the MAS tour of Grand Central Terminal. It was one of the best tours I have ever taken — not (only) because it was free but because Joe, the guide, did such a great job. He was confident about his subject, spoke loudly and clearly TO us and made sure everyone on the tour was ready before he went on to the next section. He was the epitome of a docent and taught me not only about his subject but about how to improve my own tours as a Big Apple Greeter. Thank you, Joe!

On Sunday, Feb 8, I took Jack Eichenbaum’s tour, “Keeping Off The Streets”. It was great. A unique way to experience Manhattan. And a different way to travel through the City. Good stuff.

Attended Joe Svehlak’s April 5th tour downtown. I learned so much, and, even as a New Yorker since 1988, I saw parts of the city I’d never seen before. Joe put it all in context and gave me a new perspective on Lower Manhattan. Cheers to Joe and especially to MAS who’s been giving these tours for over 50 years now. Bravo!

i was on the 4/25 coney island tour with joe svehlak and enjoyed it thoroughly.
can you pls pass this bit of coney island trivia to joe -
on nbc, there was a story about the postcard exhibit currently at the metropolitan-250,000 “coney island” postcards were mailed by visitors on a particular day back in its heyday – can it ever happen again??
Comment from Chad Sutton
I took the Grand Central tour today with Joe Svehlak – it was fantastic. Joe is a great tour guide, and I picked up lots of trivia to add to my wealth of useless NY information
Thanks for all the great work you do to preserve the treasures of New York!

We took the Grand Central tour last Wednesday; Marty was the leader. It as fabulous. Besides the interesting history and anecdotes, his great sense of humor and knowledge was much appreciated. We will look forward to other MAS tours.

I did the MAS walking tour on Thursday, Dec 3, with John Kriskiewicz. His depth of knowledge and his skill in addressing the group were both outstanding. It was my first tour with MAS. (I’ve recently moved to NYC.) I discovered MAS through your “10 Architectural Walks” book which was recommended at Strands. Your web site created expectations regarding your commitment to “the public good” that were thoroughly fulfilled in my experience with the walking tour. I look forward to doing more of them.

Hi,
I took a “New York in the Time of Washington Irving” tour last Saturday and it was wonderful, despite the cold. Francis, the very-knowledgeable guide, did a superb job of keeping a very large group interested for nearly 2 and a half hours. I look forward to going on another MAS tour.

Dear Tamara,
I enjoyed last Sunday’s tour of Jewish Harlem so much that I am pleased to let you know about it. Although I have taken many MAS tours, this is first with Marty Shore.
He certainly know his subject very well and had a tremendous amount of background info to give as well. He patiently answered questions; and almost always knew the answer to the way out ones as well. He persevered in the cold rain without complaint and even offered to stop in an excellent local coffee shop for those with less stamina.
I look forward to further tours with him.
