Fue un tour muy interesante y muy ameno. Joshua dio muchos datos y platico anécdotas muy interesantes en los distintos puntos visitados, generando curiosidad para conocer más a fondo la historia de los distintos barrios; integró muy bien el grupo y platicó con cada uno de nosotros a lo largo del recorrido, fuer un anfitrión cálido y jovial a la vez. Valió la pena con creces el tiempo invertido. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a very interesting and enjoyable tour. Joshua shared a wealth of information and interesting anecdotes at the various points visited, sparking curiosity to learn more about the history of the different neighborhoods. He integrated the group very well and chatted with each of us throughout the tour. He was a warm and cheerful host at the same time. It was more than worth the time invested. Opinion translated.

Jay es muy amable y simpática y se nota que sabe mucho de la historia de Nueva York. Sin embargo, el tour duraba dos horas y fueron tres, habiendo ingresado a Chinatown una hora y media después de comenzar el tour, y viendo solo dos cuadras de Soho. Sería bueno ajustar el recorrido y tema al tour. Muchas cosas tenían que ver con el bajo Manhattan, interesantes pero para el tour que contratamos, nos faltó más información sobre Chinatown Little Italy y Soho. Gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

Jay is very kind and friendly, and it's clear she knows a lot about New York history. However, the tour was supposed to last two hours, but it ended up being three. We entered Chinatown an hour and a half after the tour started, and only saw two blocks of Soho. It would be nice to adjust the route and the tour theme. Many interesting things had to do with lower Manhattan, but for the tour we booked, we needed more information about Chinatown, Little Italy, and Soho. Thanks! Opinion translated. Show original.

Estaba lloviendo bastante y el recorrido se redujo a recomendaciones de la guía para que compremos dumpligs y souvenires baratos, además de recomendar algún restaurante. Nos hubiera interesado más que nos cuente de la historia de las distintas culturas a esta zona. Translate this opinion into English.

It was raining heavily, and the tour was limited to the guide's recommendations for buying dumplings and cheap souvenirs, as well as restaurant recommendations. We would have been more interested in hearing about the history of the different cultures in this area. Opinion translated. Show original.

El guía bien , pero no se puede hacer un grupo de 40 personas . Parábamos en los sitios y molestábamos a residentes y comerciantes , hay que tener un poco más de vista , con estas cosas los residentes protestan del turismo y con razón , al final tendrán que poner por normativa un límite ya que vosotros por sentido común no lo hacéis de motu propio

The guide was fine, but it's not possible to make a group of 40 people. We stopped at places and bothered residents and shopkeepers. We should be more cautious. Residents complain about tourism with these things, and rightly so. In the end, they'll have to set a limit by law, since you, out of common sense, don't do it on your own initiative.

El tour estuvo muy bien explicado aunque en ciertos momentos era una cascada de información que no alcanzaba a procesar. El recorrido muy interesante, los sitios bien escogidos. La guía (JAY) tiene un claro conocimiento del barrio donde nos llevó, ampliamente recomendable. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very well explained, although at times it was a torrent of information that I couldn't process. The route was very interesting, and the sites were well-chosen.

O guia fez de td para ser entendido, o tour era em espanhol, mas ele falava separadamente conosco em inglês, se esforçando ao maximo em ser gentil. Esse foi o ponto mais que positivo do passeio. Porém o passeio eh meio sem graca, sem emoção, não tem tantos atrativos.

O passeio, conforme indicado na descrição, é conduzido com comentários em inglês. Ficamos felizes em poder fornecer explicações personalizadas e lamentamos se alguma parte do passeio não atendeu às suas expectativas.

La guía empezó diciéndonos que era obligatorio pagar 20$ por persona, no explicaba nada sobre los lugares… había pasado una hora del tour y solo nos llevó al baño en un parque, hasta después empezamos con Chinatown solo para que nos dijera: esto es una tienda, esto es un restaurante, aquí hay una foto de mi hija con su esposo. No nos explicó nada del lugar, dos horas y media pasaron y no habíamos llegado a little Italy, mucho menos a Soho. Terminamos yéndonos y haciendo el tour con google maps.

The guide started by telling us that we were required to pay $20 per person. She didn't explain anything about the places. An hour into the tour, she only took us to the bathroom in a park. We then started with Chinatown only for her to tell us: "This is a store, this is a restaurant, here's a photo of my daughter with her husband." She didn't explain anything about the place. Two and a half hours passed, and we hadn't even reached Little Italy, much less Soho. We ended up leaving and doing the tour with Google Maps.

The truth is I was expecting them to tell me about the three areas and their history, but it was an hour and a half about the Chinese and 10 minutes of Little Italy and Soho, the last two being what interested me the most.

El guía exige un pago de $20 por persona a mitad del tour para cobrarlo al final del mismo

The guide requires a payment of $20 per person halfway through the tour to be collected at the end of the tour.

Sucede a menudo que algunos participantes obvian la necesidad de realizar un aporte al final del recorrido. Por este motivo, los guías pueden hacer recomendaciones acerca de cuál es la propina acostumbrada. Aun así, los participantes son libres de aportar más o menos, si así lo desean. Sentimos si alguno se sintió incomodado en algún momento. Translate this opinion into English.

It often happens that some participants ignore the need to make a contribution at the end of the tour. For this reason, guides may make recommendations about the customary tip. However, participants are free to contribute more or less if they wish. We apologize if anyone felt uncomfortable at any point. Opinion translated. Show original.
