Fun times. Saw so many things. Good overall sense of the city. Guide was funny, not too talkative. Great lunch stop at World Trade Center.

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Kevin and Manny. We got to see so much of this beautiful city. It is very well organized. We had a lot of fun and I learned a lot.
