She was very conscious of how cold it was as at the time the city was going through some extreme weather so was mindful of all the group. She was on time , very chatty friendly made everyone feel welcome and interested in where we were all from around the world. Hand warmers were provided for tour which was I thought…”

“The VERY WORST experience or activity I’ve ever booked with Viator. The bus stops were impossible to find, their English was horrible, the guys on the streets trying to sell you tickets to the bus if you tried to ask questions would LITERALLY WALK OFF. In 3 days we rode the bus once. Complete waste of money. We had to uber the remaining time on our trip. Btw. The bus isn’t even heated when it was freezing outside. Be sure to stand in the correct blue or red line even thou it’s hard to understand what they are are saying to do because again you get YELLED AT.”

“This tour was worth every penny! If you want the opportunity to see the "Real" NYC away from the bright lights and tall buildings, this is the perfect tour. Jorge is an amazing tour guide that provided such a rich experience of getting to know the city. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided such detailed information about not only what is listed on the description of the tour, but so much more. Hands down, the best tour guide I've ever had. Our driver Kevin was very professional, friendly, and navigated us safely throughout the city. Driving safely in NYC takes a special person, but to drive a big tour bus…”
