Absolutely Awesome NYC Tour! - Gabby was absolutely wonderful! She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about New York City’s rich history. Her pacing was just right—giving us time to truly take in and enjoy the sights. We were especially touched by her passion for the city; it brought so much energy and joy to the experience. Gabby felt like the perfect guide to match the excitement we had built up after spending countless hours watching Sarah Funky’s NYC YouTube videos in preparation for our 30th wedding anniversary trip. She made the day even more memorable. Thank you, Gabby—you are a fantastic ambassador for Funky Experiences and this incredible city! Tim & Holly Amarillo, Texas

Amazing tour - Thank you gabi. Such an amazing tour. I would highly recommend getting gabi to show you round New York. Her expertise was amazing. Everything I requested was sorted and more. Her knowledge was first class and every question I had was answered immaculately. She took us to all the best places and a secret bar we would never had found which was amazing. No stone left unturned in everything she took us to. The little secret at the rockafella centre was truly memorable. ( the Xmas tree spot) . Thank you so much and to Sarah keep up your amazing videos. And Gabi when your a star on the tv I can say I know you personally Marks out of 10? Maybe I’ll push to 20!!!!!

July private tour - We found Funky Experiences on YouTube. We are extremely happy with our tour. James was a huge resource and had wonderful insights on all locations we visited. He also had a few stories for our young children and kept them entertained. He made the best of a sweltering July day and kept us as cool as possible. James even answered questions for us after the tour. Can’t recommend him or Funky enough, wonderful experience!!

Private Tour of Brooklyn - My family of three requested a 3-hour private tour of Brooklyn. Our goals were to get a feel for the daily life in various neighborhoods in Brooklyn and hear about their history as well. Gabi worked with us to create an itinerary that met our needs. She was timely, professional, and knowledgeable. The whole family had an excellent time.

Best Private Tour Ever!! - The private tour with James was simply put amazing!! We booked a private tour with Funky Tours on our first full day to New York and the information learned carried us through the rest of our 5 days in Manhattan!! Funky tours is small enough that they are flexible with the times and also what you want to do. James our tour guide was like having your best friend walk you through the neighborhood. You can ask any questions and learn so much about the area. We will be using Funky Tours again very soon!! A shout out to Luis who coordinated the changes to our tour times and being so accommodating!!

A New York Tour Beyond Expectations with James! - We had an amazing time with James, who brought New York City’s rich history to life in the most captivating way. His deep historical knowledge of key landmarks, combined with intriguing movie references and a sprinkle of superhero insights, made the tour an absolute delight. James opened our eyes to the city in ways we never expected, blending the past and present seamlessly with engaging stories that made every stop memorable. If you’re looking to see New York through a new lens, James is your guy! Highly recommend booking a tour with him to truly enhance your FUNKY experience.

Amazing Tour with Gabi! - Gabi was such a delight. Having Gabi show and tell us all about the lower Manhattan felt like a family member showing us all their favourite spots. Thank you again for the amazing tour.

NYC history comes alive with Gabi's private tour! - Gabi was an amazing tour guide! She was flexible to meet our needs. She was knowledgable, friendly, and understanding. The history she shared about the NYC Public Library, Grand Central Station, and the Chrysler Building made our tour even more interesting!

Great fun and bags of information thanks to Gabi .. Greenwich Village and surrounding areas. - Firstly thanks to Luis, who made the whole booking up and setting up beforehand so easy. Very helpful and offered input. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. It was great fun. As well as plenty of information, stories, factual detail and laughs. All thanks to Gabi who was superb! Our tour took us across Greenwich Village and heading up to Chelsea. Also literally being with somebody who knows their way around is just so helpful. Part of a memorable family trip during the festive season and our first time in NYC!
