La escogimos como primera actividad en Nueva York y no estuvo mal. Se centró en la parte sur de la isla de Manhattan pues es desde dónde se originó o nació la ciudad de Nueva York. Como se llamaba Nueva Amsterdam y cómo en la isla de Manhattan vivían los indios lenape (también denominados delawares). Visitamos también Battery Park, Distrito Financiero, Zona 0, etc. Hay que decir que la excursión se hace a pie y que tuvimos que esperar bastante tiempo a que se reuniera todo el grupo. Translate this opinion into English.

We chose this as our first activity in New York and it wasn't bad. It focused on the southern part of Manhattan Island, since that's where New York City originated or was born. We learned about what New Amsterdam was called and how the Lenape Indians (also called Delawares) lived on Manhattan Island. We also visited Battery Park, the Financial District, Ground Zero, etc. It should be noted that the tour is done on foot and we had to wait quite a while for the whole group to gather.

Jacinta è stata un'ottima guida: piena di energia ed entusiasmo, ha cercato di farci vedere più cose possibile e di fornirci tutte le informazioni che poteva nelle 3 ore di tour. Ottima esperienza, anche perché l'abbiamo fatto il primo giorno di vacanza ed abbiamo poi utilizzato tutti i suoi suggerimenti per il prosieguo. Merita! Translate this opinion into English.

Jacinta was a great guide: full of energy and enthusiasm, she tried to make us see as many things as possible and to give us all the information she could in the 3 hours of the tour. Great experience, also because we did it on the first day of vacation and then used all her suggestions for the rest. Worth it! Opinion translated. Show original.

Cogimos este Free Tour por NY y nos gustó muchísimo. Nos tocó Wilson de guía y la verdad amenizó mucho el tour, daba muchos datos, interactuaba mucho con el grupo. Se nos hizo corto, está genial para tener una toma de contacto con esta parte de la ciudad. Translate this opinion into English.

Ya había tomado esta excursión hace 2 años y me había gustado mucho, pero esta vez me pareció aún mejor. Nuestra guía, Camila, le dio ese plus al recorrido; es una persona con mucho carisma y simpatía, que narra las historias de una manera súper divertida. Mientras caminábamos, ella iba cantando y bailando, contagiando su alegría a todo el grupo e incluso a las personas a nuestro alrededor. ¡Recomiendo este tour 100%! No se van a arrepentir Translate this opinion into English.

I had already taken this tour 2 years ago and I really liked it, but this time it seemed even better. Our guide, Camila, gave that extra something to the tour; she is a person with a lot of charisma and sympathy, who tells the stories in a super fun way. While we were walking, she was singing and dancing, spreading her joy to the whole group and even to the people around us. I recommend this tour 100%! You will not regret it. Opinion translated.

El mejor tour que he estado en toda mi vida y he ido a más de 20. Wilson una gran persona y con una habilidad de comunicación excelente. Nos contó muchísimas curiosidades de NY que no encuentras en ningún blog. Lo ideal es hacer este tour nada más llegar ya que da muchos consejos para tu estancia. Los mejores consejos sin duda los gastronómicos. El tour ha durado 3 horas y se nos ha pasado volando. Muchas gracias Wilson!! Volveremos!! Translate this opinion into English.

The best tour I have ever been on in my entire life and I have been on more than 20. Wilson is a great person with excellent communication skills. He told us many interesting facts about NY that you can't find on any blog. The best thing to do is to take this tour as soon as you arrive as it gives you lots of tips for your stay. The best tips are definitely the food ones. The tour lasted 3 hours and it flew by. Thank you very much Wilson!! We will be back!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente es poco. Tuvimos la suerte de contar con Camila, que es una guía excepcional, que nos contagió su entusiasmo por la ciudad, que nos descubrió lugares diferentes y nos hizo disfrutar durante todo el recorrido. Imposible aburrirse un segundo. La mejor visita en la que he estado nunca!! Bravo Camila!! Recomiendo especialmente la visita del puente de Brooklyn con una historia muy interesante que no conocía y con un final apoteósico. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent is an understatement. We were lucky to have Camila, who is an exceptional guide, who gave us her enthusiasm for the city, who showed us different places and made us enjoy the whole tour. It was impossible to get bored for a second. The best visit I have ever been on!! Bravo Camila!! I especially recommend the visit to the Brooklyn Bridge with a very interesting history that I didn't know about and with a spectacular ending. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nada extraordinario. La guía muy simpática y extrovertida, información variada e interesante; intentó hacer amena la visita poniendo música en los recorridos entre un punto y otro y cantando casi al final de la visita, antes de llegar al memorial del 11-S. Translate this opinion into English.

Nothing extraordinary. The guide was very friendly and outgoing, and provided varied and interesting information. She tried to make the visit enjoyable by playing music between the two points and singing almost at the end of the visit, before arriving at the 9/11 memorial. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita al downtown fue muy interesante. Tati sabía mucho de la historia de NY. La única sugerencia es que nos resultó un poco larga y aburrida la primera hora donde explico varias veces donde tomarse los ferrys para ver la estatua de la libertad. Fuera de eso, Tati fue muy amable. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit to downtown was very interesting. Tati knew a lot about the history of NY. The only suggestion is that we found the first hour a bit long and boring, where he explained several times where to take the ferries to see the Statue of Liberty. Apart from that, Tati was very kind. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour es totalmente recomendable por el recorrido que se sigue y, sobre todo, por el personal que lo lleva a cabo. Tuvimos la suerte de conocer a 2 de ellos, Christina y Wilson, que son muy buenos en su trabajo. Es difícil encontrar a profesionales tan entregados como ellos. Se nota que les gusta el contacto con la gente e interactuar con el cliente. Chicos, hacéis mucho más grande el tour!! Brutal!! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is highly recommended for the route followed and, above all, for the staff who carry it out. We were lucky enough to meet 2 of them, Christina and Wilson, who are very good at their job. It is difficult to find professionals as dedicated as they are. You can tell that they like contact with people and interacting with the client. Guys, you make the tour much bigger!! Awesome!!

La guia, Camila, fue muy divertida pero echamos en falta mas contenido historico o de curiosidades de la zona que visitamos con el tour. En cambio, me sobró que comentara en repetidas ocasiones todos los tours que hace el proveedor para el trabaja. O tampoco entendí porque comentaba tantas veces los ferris que podíamos tomar. Y si quieres pararte a hacer alguna foto vas a tener que volver porque apenas te daba tiempo, y te perdías del grupo.

The guide, Camila, was very funny but we missed more historical content or curiosities of the area we visited with the tour. On the other hand, I was disappointed that she repeatedly commented on all the tours that the provider does for her work. I also didn't understand why she commented so many times on the ferries we could take. And if you want to stop to take a photo you will have to go back because you barely had time, and you got lost from the group.

El objetivo de este free tour es introducir a los participantes en la historia y los principales emplazamientos de la ciudad. Sentimos si no estuvo a la altura de lo esperado. Para recorridos más detallados y personalizados, se ofrecen visitas guiadas a precios más que razonables. Translate this opinion into English.

Took the tour with Jay and it was great! Her previous experience as a police officer gave us a lot of insight and she had a way of speaking that got you hooked to every thing she said. In the end it did not feel like we walked that much, but at the same time we covered a lot of attractions and historical places!

De 10, Wilson nuestro guia, increíble, Simpatiquísimo, con gran conocimiento sobre NY, nos ha hecho un tour maravilloso. Tras 10 dias en NY y a 2 tours por dia, puedo decir que Wilson (junto con Cristina, otra guia que tuvimos en otra excursión), son sin duda los mejores de todos y sus tours los mas interesantes tanto en datos históricos como en divertidos. Si vuelvo a NY repetiré con ellos en los tours que hagan en ese momento sin dudarlo!! Translate this opinion into English.

10/10, Wilson our guide, incredible, very friendly, with great knowledge about NY, gave us a wonderful tour. After 10 days in NY and 2 tours per day, I can say that Wilson (along with Cristina, another guide we had on another excursion), are without a doubt the best of all and their tours are the most interesting both in terms of historical information and fun. If I go back to NY I will repeat with them on the tours they do at that time without hesitation!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Un tour muy interesante. La guía (Cristina) ha hecho de la actividad una maravilla. Sabía muchísimo y lo explicaba de forma clara y muy amena. Desde el minuto uno empática con todo el grupo.

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.
