Thought it was disgusting to leave 50 odd people standing outside a locked bus in -4 degree temperatures whilst the driver sat comfortably for 30minutes to later apologise for keeping us freezing and waiting past the start time. The tour was over priced and lacked anything truly rememberable. Annoyingly all the ‘look at’ moments and sights were ALL on one side of the bus so half of the bus couldn’t see most things. The highlight for us was getting off and getting our time back to ourselves!!

Dear Amig@ Sabrina_B We are sorry to hear that your experience was not what we had planned for you. We have no further reports from other clients regarding what you mentioned, however, we can say that the operator is not authorized to board clients, as he does not have access to the list of tourists authorized to be part of the tour. We hope you can understand the real facts as to why the operator could not give access to the unit. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Jorge and Rafael were such a good team and really complemented each other well on this amazing tour around New York City. It really makes sense to book this trip, as you get to see many different areas within a short amount of time and still get to feel as if you have actually been to these places. Doing a tour in this comfortable bus is also a relaxing way to get around. Jorge was such a class act in that he was extremely generous with his many facts about the different areas we visited. He was constantly filling us with educational information and it was just a thrill to get to learn about all kinds of different things that we also simply drove past. Jorge was also really fun and made us laugh as we headed onto the next part of town and I would love to have him as a tour guide once again. You can really sense that he loves to make sure that we all had a good time, and he really succeeded in doing so. I cannot recomend him and this trip enough. Thanks again Jorge and Rafel, for such a memorable educational ride. Take care!
