The Critics Speak
From clients and participants in Tony Robins’ tour and lecture
programs:
“Your program last Thursday at The National Arts Club was bewitching, as evidenced by the rapt assembly. The
magic carpet ride through Art Deco New York was breathtaking, and earned countless compliments (not to
mention a high rating on the ooooh-and-aaaah meter). Bravo!” -- National Arts Club
“I was informed and entertained all at once! The audience response was one of complete enthusiasm for you and
the subject matter.” -- Librarian, New York Public Library
“Your leader, Tony Robins, was very knowledgeable and really passed his enthusiasm on to both of us. We
literally look at buildings differently now.” -- Program participant
“With his effortless congeniality and immense knowledge, Mr. Robins transported us back to the late twenties,
putting us in the conference rooms, design studios and taverns where the architects of the day, Hood and Kahn
and the others, conceived Midtown’s architectural destiny. Mr. Robins enlightened in a manner never
approaching highfalutin but rather with a welcome tinge of awe and appreciation.” -- Program participant
“...a great success thanks to your insight and knowledge of our city. I have received so many nice cards (not
standard evaluation forms, but cards - pretty ones at that), thanking everyone involved for a terrific program.” --
Special Project Director, Programs for Senior Fulbright Fellows.
“Thank you for another very successful walking tour. Our audience can’t seem to get enough and all the
feedback, as usual, was glowing.” -- Cooper-Hewitt Museum
“...enlightening and enjoyable lecture on Art Deco. It was the talk of the Library the following day -- everyone
loved it!” -- Librarian, Chappaqua Public Library

"...a succinct and wryly amusing text that relates subway developments
to other cultural happenings and isn't too proud to explain specialized terms.
It's the kind of book that makes the evolution of turnstiles sound fascinating...."
