Go with New York Off Road.

We had a great time in New York thanks to Samuel, our guide! Exciting, funny, extremely kind and pleasant, he made this visit truly outstanding. Excellent knowledge of the city, its history, and its neighborhoods. He shared plenty of great places to eat and discover nice spots to fully enjoy NYC. We recommend it 100%. Thank you to Samuel for his good humor and professionalism. Thank you, New York Off Road.

Visit of Harlem

A very nice tour of Harlem with our guide Kaisa to understand the past of this neighborhood. Only regret, Columbia could not be visited.

Operator response

Bonjour Maud, Merci beaucoup pour ce gentil commentaire qui nous fait chaud au cœur ! Nous sommes ravis que vous gardiez de bons souvenirs de votre visite avec Kaïssa. En effet, le campus de Columbia est fermé aux visiteurs depuis maintenant presque un an à notre grand désespoir. Pour autant, nous aimons toujours partager son histoire et son fonctionnement avec nos visiteurs au travers d'histoires et de photos :) Nous espérons avoir la chance de vous revoir lors d'une prochaine visite à New York ou dans une autre de nos destinations !

varied, pleasant and friendly visit

A very pleasant, eclectic and lively experience with Samuel in Harlem, history of the columbia university (unfortunately closed), architecture, music, the history of the evolution of the neighborhood, the good addresses, I would have followed with a little jazz, a meal or both! A real big plus compared to a solo visit, really nothing to do with visits by "herds"

Bonjour, merci pour ce beau retour :) Nous sommes ravis que votre visite avec Samuel vous ai satisfait ! Nous espérons vous revoir à New York ou bien dans une autre de nos destinations 🤗
