We had an amazing experience on our tour, thanks to our wonderful guide, Stalina! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. Her knowledge was impressive, and she shared fascinating insights about all the places we visited in New York, making each stop feel special. Stalina’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, keeping us engaged throughout the entire tour. She was also very attentive, ensuring that everyone’s needs were met, and she was always happy to answer questions. It was clear that Stalina genuinely cares about giving her guests a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—thank you, Stalina, for making this tour unforgettable! Highly recommend!

The tour meets everything you'd expect: a route through New York's most popular neighborhoods, with some stops to stretch your legs and see some details up close. The guide who accompanied us told us the history of both New York and the neighborhoods, adding very interesting additional information that makes you feel more immersed in the trip. A 10 for her. The only negative point is with the company that manages it. The information they give about the tour's ending point is contradictory. I contacted them via chat, WhatsApp, and email, but they finally decided the tour would end where I asked, and they told me it wouldn't. Therefore, I had to change the logistics of my trip to make the most of the day.
