5.00Albert was a great guide and Tony was an awesome driver. We enjoyed everything about the tour except the amount of time we had for lunch. We had only 30 minutes to navigate the area, decide what we wanted, eat animals get back to the tour. Other than that, it was top tier

5.00Rachel was a great tour guide. Her in depth knowledge provided the added detail on what is New York in 6 hours. Accommodating, friendly and wise, she gave us everything. The tour itself goes quick but definitely worth it to see things you may not see if having a shorter visit.
