I provide a custom tour through the labyrinth that is the subway. You choose the starting and ending points (say, your hotel and where you're going for dinner) and I create a one-of-a-kind route through the system to show you as much of it as possible while getting you to your destination right on time.
The tour listed below is a sample. Times are flexible and all tours are private and customizable.
