It was a great experience having Victor as my tour guide. I had some places to visit, and being in the company of a local was the best choice to get the most of my time in New York. I strongly recommend this tour!

I have had a great experience and I strongly recommend this tour! My tour guide was Rosemary, she is such a nice person and we had a wonderful time together. Thanks to her I am in love with NYC. Walking around the city with a local allowed me to discover the real identity of New York, to understand more about its culture, and to exchange insightful point of views with my guide about so many different topics. It added value to my trip and when in August I will be again in the city, I will FOR SURE book again a tour with them.
