I had a fantastic tour in New York with Gabe as my guide! He was engaging, knowledgeable, and had a great way of bringing the stories and history to life. He kept everyone interested the whole time and shared so many interesting details and fun facts that I would never have discovered on my own. You could tell he was genuinely passionate about New York, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely recommend this tour, and if you get Gabe as your guide, even better!
The tour is excellent. The guide, Jonah, is fantastic; he was able to give us the tour in Spanish since he speaks it fluently, and everything was perfectly clear, which is exactly what I was looking for. The tour is spectacular, views of typical and famous places in NY. Absolutely recommended and highly rated. El tour es excelente. El guia, Jonah, un crack, nos pudo brindar el tour en español ya que lo maneja con bastante soltura y todo se entendió perfecto, era lo que buscaba. El recorrido es espectacular con lugares tipicos y famosos de NY, absolutamente recomendable y muy valuado.
