La primera vez que utilizo el free tour y la verdad que está muy bien lo explican genial me gustado mucho la experiencia solo que hay que ir preparado cuando está lloviendo, con la lluvia no se disfruta mucho pero bonita experiencia gracias free tour Translate this opinion into English.

This is the first time I've used the free tour and the truth is that it's very good, they explain it really well, I really liked the experience, but you have to be prepared when it's raining, you don't enjoy it much in the rain, but it's a nice experience, thanks to the free tour.

Hicimos el tour con Wilson, es muy divertido y aporta datos sobre locacion s de películas y algo de historia. A nosotros nos hubiese gustado que aporte más datos históricos, como punto a mejorar. Por lo demás es un buen tour, él muy bien predispuesto a responder todas las dudas. Recomiendo Translate this opinion into English.

We did the tour with Wilson, it's very fun and provides information about movie locations and some history. We would have liked him to provide more historical information, as an area to improve. Otherwise it's a good tour, he's very willing to answer all questions. I recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

la guia Camila fue dinámica y nos ayudó a descubrir la historia de la ciudad. A mejorar seria: durante las pausas donde nos enseña escenas de películas, iria bien una tablet donde mostrar esos escenarios y así poder recordarlos mejor. El tiempo de descanso fue muy largo , entiendo que ahí también meten la cuña para vender otros tours, pero es tiempo que se pierde de conocer mas la ciudad. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide Camila was dynamic and helped us discover the history of the city. Something to improve would be: during the breaks where she shows us movie scenes, a tablet would be nice to show those scenes so we can remember them better. The break time was very long, I understand that they also put in the ad to sell other tours, but it is time that is lost to get to know the city better. Opinion translated. Show original.

La chica increíble, no hay nada mejor que topar con un guía entusiasmado con su trabajo, Christina lo es! Cercana y super culta, sabe la historia y es capaz de transmitir todo lo relevante sin resultar pedante, de forma cercana y divertida. Mi pareja y yo hemos viajado mucho y siempre reservamos free tours y me atrevería a decir que hasta la fecha, Christina ha resultado ser la mejor guia con la que hemos tenido el placer de coincidir! Si volvemos a NY, no dudaremos en repetir con ella! Translate this opinion into English.

The girl is amazing, there is nothing better than running into a guide who is enthusiastic about her job, Christina is! Approachable and super cultured, she knows the history and is able to convey everything relevant without being pedantic, in a friendly and fun way. My partner and I have traveled a lot and we always book free tours and I would dare to say that to date, Christina has turned out to be the best guide we have had the pleasure of meeting! If we return to NY, we will not hesitate to repeat with her! Opinion translated. Show original.

Comparado con otros tours que realice, esté fue bastante largo al punto que se tornaba aburrido. Mucho tiempo en la estación del ferry Staten Island, se promovía mucho otras excursiones y se camina poco, creímos que nos iban a mostrar más de los edificios que se encuentran en el distrito financiero.

Compared to other tours I've taken, this one was quite long to the point that it got boring. A lot of time spent at the Staten Island ferry station, there was a lot of promotion for other tours and not much walking. We thought they were going to show us more of the buildings in the financial district.

Muy bien!! Cristina nos ha hecho el tour de hoy y realmente nos ha gustado mucho!! Se nota que le gusta su trabajo y eso se transmite a los demás, ha explicado muy bien todo lo que era de interés y al ser medio americana lo vive en primera persona, sin duda creo que uno de los mejores free tours que hemos hecho, la parte del 11s nos ha impactado. Gracias! Translate this opinion into English.

Very good!! Cristina gave us the tour today and we really liked it a lot!! You can tell she likes her job and that is transmitted to the others, she explained very well everything that was of interest and being half American she experiences it first hand, without a doubt I think it was one of the best free tours we have done, the part about 9/11 had an impact on us. Thank you! Opinion translated. Show original.

Experiencia muy recomendable ya que te acerca a los orígenes de la ciudad desde un punto de vista menos conocido, algo más alejado de la imagen tradicional que tenemos. La visita es muy interesante, pero el entusiasmo que puso Tatiana, nuestra guía, hizo de efecto multiplicador. Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended experience as it brings you closer to the origins of the city from a lesser-known point of view, somewhat further from the traditional image we have. The visit is very interesting, but the enthusiasm of Tatiana, our guide, had a multiplying effect. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro segundo dia en la ciudad y quisimos empezar con un free tour, lo que resultó muy acertado porque te explican los orígenes de NY a la vez que te llevan por el Downtown, que es impresionante. Tuvimos la suerte de tener a CRIS como guía: simpática divertida y muy amena a la vez que nos explicaba todo a la perfección. El punto final junto al memorial del 11S nos puso los pelos de punta. Disfrutamos mucho y lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Gracias Cris por esta bonita experiencia!! Translate this opinion into English.

Our second day in the city and we wanted to start with a free tour, which turned out to be very good because they explain the origins of NY while they take you through Downtown, which is impressive. We were lucky to have CRIS as a guide: friendly, funny and very entertaining while explaining everything perfectly. The end point next to the 9/11 memorial gave us goosebumps. We enjoyed it a lot and I recommend it to everyone. Thank you Cris for this beautiful experience!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Una maravilla el tour con Wilson. Tiene mucha experiencia y hace muy ameno el paseo de mas de 2h contando detalles de edificios y hechos históricos. Y para cinéfilos, información de sobra. Se nota la experiencia y se hace con el grupo desde el primer momento. Realmente merece la pena. Lástima no saberlo antes porque hace otros tours que no estamos ya. Nos habría encantado ir al Bronx con él. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour with Wilson was wonderful. He has a lot of experience and makes the 2 hour walk very enjoyable, telling details about buildings and historical events. And for film buffs, there is plenty of information. You can see his experience and he wins over the group from the first moment. It is really worth it. It is a shame we didn't know about it before because he does other tours that we are not on anymore. We would have loved to go to the Bronx with him. Opinion translated. Show original.

La guia, Tatiana, excelente pero del free tour quizás nos esperábamos otra cosa. Pensamos que era más especifico de la zona que se anuncia e incluso dejamos de ver alguna cosa como el toro de Wall Street y por contra hay mucha explicación de la historia de Nueva York en general, a nuestro parecer demasiado detalle Translate this opinion into English.

The guide, Tatiana, was excellent, but we were perhaps expecting something else from the free tour. We thought it was more specific to the area than advertised and we even missed seeing some things like the Wall Street bull. On the other hand, there is a lot of explanation of the history of New York in general, in our opinion too much detail. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvimos solo la primera parte una hora y media, la guía era buena y contaba cosas intereseantes pero alargaba mucho el recorrido lo que nos contó se podía haber realizado en mucho menos tiempo, por eso decidimos no continuar porque no pensabamos que duraría mínimo tres horas. Lo que no nos gustó es que dedicaba mucho tiempo a hablar del resto de tours

We were only there for the first part, an hour and a half. The guide was good and told us interesting things, but she made the tour very long. What she told us could have been done in much less time, so we decided not to continue because we didn't think it would last at least three hours. What we didn't like was that she spent a lot of time talking about the other tours.

Alex fue un guía estupendo, el hecho de ser Agosto y de cruzarnos con otros grupos del mismo tour hizo que tuviéramos la sensación de que otros guías explicaban otras cosas, que tanto que es lo normal al comparar por estar unos al lado de otros la comparación se agraba.

Alex was a great guide. The fact that it was August and we met other groups on the same tour gave us the feeling that other guides were explaining other things, which is normal when comparing things by being next to each other, the comparison becomes worse. Opinion translated. Show original.
