We purposely planned this for the day we arrived since we wanted something to look forward to. This was definitely worth the wait. Our your guide was knowledgeable of the different neighborhoods we passed by prior to our Dyker Heights arrival. Our stops and different destinations made it exciting and fun since I was able to not plan a single thing. Our driver was friendly as well. We made bathroom breaks in great areas too. The cherry on top, was Rockefeller Center, where it beloved your guide to photos of us, which I'm sure he didn't have to do. We loved him so much, we even took a photo with him. Can't wait to join this tour again next year. With love, YOUR SAN DIEGO GIRLS

Sam was absolutely amazing!! It’s 5 hours so it’s long and lots of walking but he made it so enjoyable and time just flew by! I would definitely recommend this tour and if you can request a certain guide….I’d highly suggest requesting Sam!!!
