Overall rating

4.4 / 5

A fantastic tour, the pace is not too slow not too fast, you see all the boroughs adequately with multiple photo breaks and toilet breaks. Jorge provides continuous commentary with stories and fun/movie facts for each neighbourhood. He tells you what the real deal is and background of the neighbourhoods. Its like listening to a story. Short tour 8:30 to 1:30 so you have most of the day still to do other things. Charging points available in bus. Very polite driver. I couldn’t recommend it enough, you’d not be able to cover all boroughs in so much depth without such expert guidance. So if you have half a day - do it, the price is really really reasonable too.

The guide was super knowledgeable. Such an informative and enjoyable day. Only downside was the early start and wait … we arrived at the advised time of 8.15 but security only opened at 9am and there was then a wait for the ferry.

Excellent city pass with very efficient and fast entry to main attractions and offering a good discount. Even the attractions where reservations were needed we could entry immediately after arrival.

A lovely all round tour, giving insights into New York City life across the boroughs. Local tour guide was very funny and friendly. Very unforgettable experience.

This tour was fantastic! Would recommend to anyone visiting NYC for a short trip!
