Amazing Tour - Amazing and VERY educational experience. Our guide Ben, very knowledgeable and nice made this tour a superb choice with his outstanding performance. The whole group was composed by several foreign members, must of us having English as second language, and Ben's enunciation was so perfect that we did not missed a bit of information. This was by far one of the most interesting things we did in our one week trip to NY. Thanks Ben for your fantastic job!
