Absolutely loved this tour. Took us out of the central tourist attractions in Manhattan and through the other boroughs. Kevin Lawrence our tour guide was a genuine New Yorker who gave us a very interesting tour full of amazing facts and sights. With a chance to step of the bus on numerous occasions and soak in the local atmospheres and take pictures. This was my favourite tour of our visit and would highly recommend as a great day out.

Jorge is a legend! An incredibly knowledgeable and experienced tour guide, he seamlessly weaves in his sense of humour and first hand experience, to make this tour an educational and fun experience. We wanted to get a taste of the city beyond Manhattan, and Jorge delivered that for us. Thank you Jorge for an awesome day

We loved this tour, our guide was a very handsome man named Kevin Lawrence- a through and through New Yorker with bags of knowledge and a dry witty humour. We learned lots about each area and Kevin made sure there were no awkward silences, he always had a little story to tell or fact to share. The coach was full off all nationalities and Kevin was great at trying to incorporate everyone, although im fairly certain some of his humour was lost on some people - but honestly we had a great time up front and we’re glad to have Kevin as our guide. Highly recommended!
