5.00So... I took the tour with Sebastian. Best tour guide ever! Very funny and knowledgeable about the city. The trolley experience was cool as well, this was the only company that offered that plus and it might seem simple but my girl and I could take some cool shots inside and outside of it. Do not hesitate to do this tour!
Beautiful view with knowledge!

5.00Firstly, I wanted to share that the experiencie with Sebastian was breathtaking; he provided us with details and information which enhanced and nourish the trip. Those were about the city itself such as historical things, place to eat from the USA and other countries. Whilst the trip, no words, he is so charismatic and smooth. It is possible to see how interested he is in providing a good experience all the time. Finally, the price was perfect, even I gave him a juicy tip for the flawless experience. Personally, whoever wants to have a awe trip should totally hire Sebastian for that, the experience will be top notch.
Awesome trip

5.00We had an incredible time on the Manhattan trolley tour! Unlike the typical drive-by bus tours, this was such a unique experience that actually let us get off and explore. Our guide was very professional , showing us the best photo angles during our tour. It was the perfect place for seeing the city without feeling rushed. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a mix of riding and guided walking.
