Beautiful experience, our guide Frank di Falco fascinated us with his stories and the expertise of details of the Chelsea neighborhood and surroundings... he introduced us to a beautiful area and told the history of the place with great passion .Six hours fly .. I recommend it if you have little time to visit New York and want to spend a few hours in the company of a person who will take you to the most iconic places of the city. Thank you Frank for doing everything with great passion
We had such a wonderful day yesterday with our guide, Sara! She was so lovely and knowledgable. Can’t wait to take another tour! Thank you, Viator!
This was a really incredible way to see New York, plus there were no cars. It was very special to see New York this way. We also ran into some celebrities on the walk. The ground were immaculately kept and there was lots of greenery and plants all around with explanations and descriptions.
Fantastic tour with so much about NYC industrial and commercial history! Lots of anecdotes and very good structure. Congrats to the fantastic guide we had!
SO much to see and do! It will take you all day to go through the markets. They were so much fun, and so much to see and do!
Amazing place to see in NYC! The best place to be around in Manhattan! Loved the calm village and city life feeling, with the amazing surroundings and great food places. Kevin, our guide, had humor and gave us an unforgettable tour with laugh and tips. Recommend this tour if you are in NY!
