I hired Kevin for my birthday to give me and a group of friends a private historical tour of Governors Island. Kevin is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also has a love for history and that comes through. He patiently answered all of our questions and gave us a stellar tour, which ended at the restaurant for lunch. It was a perfect day…

Come along for the ultimate day visiting the masterpieces of Louis Comfort Tiffany in the only three-borough New York City tour. We begin with a Green Wood Cemetery tour of Tiffany and his family’s gravesite, along with granite gravestones designed by Tiffany Studios in the Gilded Age. From there, enjoy a private viewing of the world-famous Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass at the Queens Museum, where you’ll learn about the company’s history and see numerous iconic pieces. This is only the midway point of this incredible journey!
Via car, train, bus, and shoe leather, the group will explore the Gallery of Tiffany Lamps at the New-York Historical Society, featuring 132 electrified Tiffany lamps, artfully displayed on tables, floors, and hanging from above. After traversing Central Park, guests will be guided through the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an up-close look at some of the most beloved Tiffany works in the world, including pieces from Tiffany’s Long Island mansion and former showroom. Not only is this a tour of the world of Tiffany, guests will also take a deep dive into exploring New York City.
The tour concludes at the most famous retail store in Manhattan: Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue. Whether you choose to make a purchase or simply take in the iconic atmosphere, this is where the journey ends. There is truly no other tour like this in New York!

I cannot put into words how great the Algonquin Round Table tour with Kevin Fitzpatrick was but I’m sure going to try!… He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his vast knowledge of the dynamic topic at hand was beyond impressive… I would highly recommend participating in any tour that Kevin offers as a fun and engaging way to learn more about New York City’s rich history and cast of vivacious characters…
A wonderful way to see the sights and learn some history from the water’s view. Kevin is a fabulous tour guide and the Andgler crew added to the experience. A definite must do if you love Long Island sound or just want to learn more
I had a great tour with Kevin. I learned a lot about Cypress Hills National Cemetery of which I was unware
…It was a very informative and interesting tour of the “secret islands” in the Long Island sound along Pelham Bay and New Rochelle. We saw Pea Island, Hart Island, Columbia Island, the Expedition Rocks Lighthouse, and some others. It was a really fun tour and a good value. Would highly recommend!
