I recently went on a half-day tour of "the real New York" with Jorge as our guide, and it was nothing short of exceptional! Jorge's passion for the city shone through as he expertly navigated us through hidden gems and iconic landmarks alike. His insightful commentary and charming personality truly brought the city to life, making for an unforgettable experience. If you want to see New York beyond the tourist spots, Jorge's tour is an absolute must!

Jorge our guide was very informative and showed us areas in each borough you may miss if doing this on you own. Enjoyed the pace of the day and enough free time in Coney Island before returning to Manhattan.

This is my second visit to New York and I was keen to experience other areas of the city outside of Manhattan. Our guide Emmanuel provided excellent commentary throughout the tour, providing lots of interesting snippets of information as we passed various landmarks and neighbourhoods across the Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn. We had opportunities to stop & explore a few places for about 15-20 mins each before reaching Coney Island, where we had just over an hour to explore at our leisure. The tour was efficient and well run, and we made it back to Grand Central in good time. Overall I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot, it was a great way to spend the day and experience what life is really like in New York.
