The 5 stars go to Dan, our guide. He was attentive to the group and the dynamics. He knows his subject very well and shares a lot of things with a lot of humor too. He also showed interest in everyone and personalized his interventions. He’s the one I’d like to have again if I come back with other people.

Benjamin was a perfect guide! Patient, precise in explanations, available to answer questions and attentive to the needs of the group. It was wonderful to see Central Park with him and he certainly made us discover hidden corners and little treasures that we wouldn't have been able to find on our own. 5 stars therefore but only because I can't give 6. I highly recommend the service if you go to New York
