Excellent tour to see the "real" NYC. Jorge was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Well organised with suitable stops en route.

Our tour guide Jorge Torterolo was very eloquent, very knowledgeable and in deed charismatic and most likeble person. Hardly to imagine a better organized tour. Thanks, Jorge! Being an European, this was my first (and last) visit to NYC and right on my first day of 'research' the best of experiences, the best opportunity to learn some of the dimensions of the distant parts of the NYC - the absolutely best way to start.

This was our first chance to leave the U.K. and visit NYC in over three years, back then we stayed within the boundaries of Manhattan but always felt there was much more to explore. The tour started from an easy to find location just off Broadway and above Times Square. Jorge met us there and after a short time we departed. We got to see many of the neighbourhoods surrounding Manhattan, each one a contrast to its neighbour, not only seeing these areas but also with fantastic commentary from Jorge, we now feel like we understand the geography and diversity within this great city. We particularly loved Brooklyn, Bushwick with its incredible street art and DUMBO with its breathtaking views across to Manhattan, we were blessed with great weather which always helps. Also Williamsburg was fascinating and perhaps the most culturally different as this was the main concentration for the Jewish community, Jorge brought the sights and sounds of the city to life and we really enjoyed his commentary and conversation. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone looking to cover a lot of ground in a day, it’s not just about ticking a box, you will leave with a greater understanding of what has shaped the NYC we all know and love today. Book it!👌
