Fun and educational trip to NYC with my 11 year old son

5.00Charlie and Manuel provided an amazing experience for myself and my 11-year-old son. We got to enjoy all the sites we had hoped to see with the stress-free environment of Manuel’s wonderful driving and Charles great knowledge of the city and pleasant personality. We were so well cared for and the accommodations were great. Nothing to do but just enjoy the city and let someone else be in. Charge the driving and destinations.
