The tour with Andrea showed us a new and multicultural side of nyc. You're at nyc without knowing you're nyc. Because most of the time it seems to cross different worlds. Take a trip in the journey. With the confidence to cross it with an expert guide who guides you to discover corners of the world that do not exist. Absolutely recommended indeed an obligation to do it if you are planning a trip to nyc.
Very interesting experience through which you can immerse yourself in many of the cultural realities (non-commercial and non-tourist) present in New York. Thanks to the preparation of our guide we received a lot of information being able to live a rich and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended. Thanks Andrea.
This was not your average New York tour. From Little Manila to Jackson Heights, from Forrest Hill and Spiderman house to Roosevelt Island, every stop told a story. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and super passionate—made us feel like we were walking through a global village. Highly recommend if you want to experience the real NYC beyond Manhattan!
