Guide Mandy Edgecombe was both super knowledgeable and super-interesting. She was riveting explaining the Tammany Hall & Boss Tweed machine as it related to the subway and Beach’s pneumatic tube. Excellent way and person to spend a Saturday with.

AJ was such a remarkable tour guide. For two amateur subway buffs we learned a lot and had so much fun! His positive attitude and spirited conversation flowed and he was very thoughtful of the group as a whole. Would love to do another tour with him soon!
