I guess I’m the odd man out here, with so many other good reviews. I did not think this tour was great. I really have to wonder, who is giving all those high ratings? You spend FAR more time on the bus than you do getting to explore these areas. The tour guide gave some interesting information but then also a lot was really unnecessary. Pointing out public housing buildings once, ok. Pointing them out over and over, why? Also, people at the front of the bus were asking questions and he would answer them, but never repeat their question. So the rest of the bus only heard his side of the conversation. He constantly asked, “Do you understand?” after each statement, it started to feel a little like I was back in elementary school on a field trip. Overall, I was really disappointed in this trip.

The vast knowledge that Jorge our tour guide and Kevin our driver were able to share with us made this a memorable experience. We visited parts of New York that I thought I would never see.
