Guided Walking Tour - Guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and patient. I do recommend that your advertisement let customers know there are no scary neighborhoods and that they are personally responsible to buy their own train tickets when switching from city to city. It's a nominal expense, but l wasn't expecting it. The tour has a lot of walking, but if you're up to it, I highly recommended it!!

Exciting - The tour was really amazing! A unique opportunity to discover the true soul of New York, away from the usual itineraries. The murals we have seen are true masterpieces: vibrant, intense and full of meaning. Each neighborhood told us a different story, between culture, art and community. The guide was prepared and passionate, making the experience even more immersive. Highly recommended!

A different look at New York - A different tour. Out of the known tourist destinations. Important to know what you buy and be aware to taste the real New York, you will suddenly find yourself in a Bronx barbershop, or enjoying coffee in a Harlem speakeasy bar. On our tour we had some problems with the metro, which caused delays in the end time of the tour. Ma "this is new York"
