Excellent storytelling by James Q our tour guide. The Bronx always had bad press, but was the best vibe!
Patrick_G, Apr 2024
This was a very organized and informative tour. The driver was competent and the host (guide) Solange R. was great!! Solange's enthusiasm and energy were infectious, and even though I've been to NY on multiple occasions, I learned and saw more than I ever expected.
Catherine_R, Mar 2024
We had a great trip! Solange (our guide) was knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about the culture and history of the boroughs. To quote my daughter “ it was like a podcast with visuals.” We would highly recommend for anyone who wants to get out of Manhattan and explore!
Lauren_M, Mar 2024
We had a great time with Jim and Mr. Wang! It was amazing to experience so much in one day!
6 hours well worth it!
