5.00This was so cool! I was looking online for unique tours. I found a few, but this was in my top 3. I decided to do it with some friends, and man, I am glad I did. The guide (Peggy) was super informative. I had no idea there was cat history in NYC like this. We had a blast, and we went to a cat cafe afterwards. It was a super fun day of CATS! Highly recommend. Your friends will love you for booking this.

5.00The tour was interesting, fun and covered quirky cat tales in the Bowery history. Peggy was a great tour guide. We were given "cat ears" to wear which prompted several "welcome to new york!" greetings from passersby. The Bowery is gritty. And my only disappointment was not seeing cats "in the wild". They are in the cat cafe though!
