My daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Chinatown and Little Italy with this very personable and knowledgeable guide. Earl was perfect - he gave us much insight into the history of the areas we visited and engaged in discussion about so many things. There was not one dull moment! I would highly recommend having Earl show you around - even though I have lived in the City previously I learned so much! Thank you Earl! A wonderful day exploring NYC with Earl!

Il tour di Dyker Heights con Laura è stato fantastico! Lei è gentilissima, ti spiega moltissime cose anche sugli altri quartieri di New York che si attraversano per arrivare a Dyker Heights. È stata sempre disponibilissima per farci le foto, darci consigli e chiarire ogni nostro dubbio. Esperienza consigliatissima, non si può venire a natale a New York e non fare questo tour!Una garanzia!!

Laura is amazing! Her extensive knowledge allowed her to share many interesting facts about everything we saw. Herfriendly, relaxed, manner made the experience a pleasure. She offered flexible options for the our four hour itinerary which allowed me to follow my interests as they arose. I appreciated her sitting with me before we started to discuss our plan for the time. I will definitely book with Laura again and am thankful that Tours by Locals reached out to her when a last minute change of guide was required.Laura Is Amazing!

Our day with Laura Campisi was absolutely great. She paced the activity to accommodate my 10-year-old granddaughter, and still made it very interesting and fun for her. We both enjoyed it very much and would recommend Laura to anyone wanting to maximize their time in NYC.Absolutely Great!

Absolutely riveting tour with Earl there is nothing like a passionate tour guide who wants to share the stories and knowledge he has of this incredible time in New York (and for me , Irish/NY) history . I’ve read the books and seen the movies but to actually walk in the footsteps and touch the walls is something I just had to do and really can’t explain what it meant to me . Book a tour and you’ll know how I’m feeling since this incredible experience that I can’t wait to share again with visitors who arrive in October .Riveting Tour

I had an amazing time on the Lower Manhattan walking tour with 40 Thieves Tours! I had no idea how much Irish history was woven into this part of the city, and it was absolutely fascinating to hear the stories of the people who shaped New York. Earl The guide made the experience feel like stepping back in time, with detailed insights and captivating storytelling. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a deeper look into NYC’s past!Amazing time

I’ve been living in NYC for over 20 years and thought I knew most of the history here but this tour was excellent and brought so much more backstory to the city. Earl was our guide and I couldn’t recommend him enough for this. Well versed in the deep history between Ireland and America. Slainte!Great tour
