5.0 out of 5 stars
The best audio tour I've ever heard!,
By A Customer
This review is from: AudioGuide New York City (Audiocassette Walking Tours) (Audio Cassette)
These tapes are perfect for anyone who wants to see the NYC sites at their own pace. The tour guide is fantastic - she knows the most interesting facts and stories that make the city come alive. I've been to NYC many times, but never have I really appreciated all the city has to offer. I just hope Ms. Hertel makes tapes for other cities.

5.0 out of 5 stars
These tapes are an eye-opener, even for a native New Yorker,
By A Customer
This review is from: AudioGuide New York City (Audiocassette Walking Tours) (Audio Cassette)
Having been born and raised in NYC, I thought I knew all there was to know about NY. But these tapes proved me wrong. The author has really done her homework. She gives a wealth of information about the history, architecture, etc. of what you are looking at. You can take the tours at your own pace and the author gives you little tips about where to have a snack, lunch, etc. You just stop your cassete and she meets you at the next stop on the little map that accompanies each walking tour. The tapes are incredibly easy to follow and the maps are a nice touch that ensure you're on the right path. The tapes are beautifully done. Her diction is perfect and the sound quality of the tapes is amazing. I loved the music that is used to cue you to stop your cassette and proceed to the next stop, etc. and the song that appears at the end of each tour. All in all, I would say that these tapes are a great buy !
