You’ll taste New York favorites, hear city stories, and get food and sightseeing tips from an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. Anette has led some tours.

“Our guide was wonderful. Very friendly and welcoming. She had a lot of knowledge. The tour itself left a lot to be desired. We paid for a 2 hour tour. When we walked up, she told us it would be a 60 minute tour. There were only three stops w one being Krispy Kreme. A bit disappointing. They also changed our booked time without reaching out to us to ask if the new time would work. It wouldn't because of our flight home. It was a big fiasco for them trying to find us a guide for the time we originally booked. Probably wouldn't recommend it or book again.Read more”
