I really liked this trip. The guide was absolutely fantastic telling us all the sites and information as we rode round for about 4 1/2 hours. We got off the bus quite a few times at the spots to take photos and that was fantastic. The guy who talked to us as we were going round And made it very informative. Probably the most enjoyable trip for photos and seeing so much of New York and learning so much in such a short space of time.
