The Real Tour of New York

First of all Jorge was great! After his 7 hr narration of the 5 Burroughs, I fill like I was born here. The tour showed us the working class side of New York. It was a true view of New York.

Great Spanish-speaking tour in NY

The experience was very good and educational; Daniel, our guide, besides being a very good tour guide, showed enthusiasm. The driver also drove excellently, and we always felt safe. I would recommend them without hesitation.
