If your website is intended to showcase “the passionate people of the world,” then I applaud your choosing Justin Ferate. There is no one more dedicated to (or enthusiastic about) his profession as a cicerone. As a relatively-new resident of New York City, I feel incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon him and his vast stores of knowledge about my new hometown. As Tina Turner sings, he’s “simply the best!”
Awww That really made us smile. Thanks Theresa! How did you come across Justin originally?
In 2009, I was introduced to Justin’s website by a fellow theatergoer who also led walking tours throughout the city. Since joining Justin’s mailing list, I have signed up for many of his tours and found him to be remarkable.
