My wife and I loved this tour! This was my first trip to NYC in over 30 years and I was curious to see how much the boroughs had changed. This tour was the perfect opportunity to do that. We were lucky enough to get to go with Jorge (our guide) and Raphael (our bus driver). Jorge was so knowledgeable, and kept the info interesting and entertaining as we drove through and made different stops in each of the boroughs (except Staten Island). A highlight for us was seeing all of the murals that have popped up since the 80s in the Bronx and in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn and eating lunch in the nearby restaurants (I highly recommend the Bahn Mi sandwiches at . And Raphael’s driving skills were second to none! He made navigating all of those narrow roads and busy intersections look easy.

Quite simply, a fantastic tour! Our tour guide Jorge, was a fantastic Advocate, for both Company and NYC. His knowledge was fantastic, what some may see a little boring, touring on a bus, seeing sights, far from it....., Jorge was both informative and funny in equal measures. Making the whole experience well worth it. 100% recommended! Any travellers wishing to experience all that NYC has to offer, then take this tour......, and, if you are fortunate to have Jorge, as your guide, you won't be disappointed!!! Big shout out to Raphael! His driving skills, navigating those busy New York streets was second to non..!!! Especially in a huge Bus! Our first visit to the U.S. and to NYC, and we will return! ...and will take the tour again! Yes..... its that good!

Amazing tour that went beyond my expectations. Our guide Louis and our driver Jose were both amazing. I am still talking about this tour as I loved it so much and this is the first thing I would recommend to anyone going to NYC. Not only you discover places you wouldn’t go if it wasn’t for the tour, but Louis has been great guiding us every step of the way. My recommendation, try to book for a Saturday if you can.
