My daughter and I enjoyed this tour very much! Antonio was our guide and provided a wealth of knowledge about each neighborhood and beyond. We felt very welcomed by his personal touch of connecting with the group by sharing his background, and answering questions guests had in their native language, as Antonio is multi-lingual! We only had 2 full days in New York, and this tour gave us a chance to see so much!! We loved taking a picture at the Apollo, walking a block or two in the Bronx, taking a picture at Yankee Stadium, driving through Williamsburg on Shabbat, taking a picture under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO, driving through the exclusive neighborhood of Malba, and enjoying the boardwalk at Coney Island. We had the option to walk with (or without!) Antonio, or stay on the air conditioned bus, and he clearly pointed out places to use the restroom at almost all the stops. There is a bathroom on the bus for emergencies. We brought a backpack with snacks, but didn’t need them since there were options to eat fast food at Coney Island. All of the sites to see on the return to the starting point were enjoyable as well, as Antonio shared a lot of interesting facts about Chelsea Piers, The Highline, the neighborhood that is a must-see during Christmastime, the cemetery where a lot of mob bosses are buried, etc. So fascinating! Antonio and the bus driver, Rafael, had a naturally pleasing way of communicating with each other to ensure an enjoyable tour with no hiccups! I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Antonio and Rafael!!
