J-O-R-G-E was a great guide and was very knowledgeable. i told my family, who i was visiting, about the tour, and they said they had never heard of it, but were very interested because of the historic perspective related by Jorge. Jose was also very amenable to unexpected detours (road closure, parking lot situation at Flushing Meadows etc...). All in All great tour!

The greatest way to explore the off the beaten track NY city highlights on a 5hour bus tour with a very interesting, keeping engaging the whole time and socially sensitive live commentary by Jorge (our guide on Tue 19 March). Warmly recommended…we did this tour as a family with a teenager boy of 17yo and he was also thrilled 😄
