Fantastic - The tour super complete, the guide was fantastic and was telling us many things about New York and its history that made the excursion very enjoyable. And the driver of 10, for the chaos of driving in New York. Loved it!! I would certainly repeat

Good tour, bad guide. - The tour was fine, it was punctual and the experience is worth it. Our guide left a lot to be desired. A great attitude and good vibe but terrible preparation. In Spanish he pronounced things terrible, not to speak in English. It was even annoying at one point, one knew more about the places from previous research than she did.

It wasn't a tour, it was a transfer to the place - We did the Tour of Dyker Heights and more than a tour it was a transfer to the place. There was no guide at all through the place only 1 hour and 20 free to tour the site. On the way there we stopped at two other locations to take the photo and continue as in Dyker Heights without explanation. The places are worth visiting but the “Tour” is dispensable if you know how to reach the places.
