Aproveitamos muito, mas tem coisas a melhorar. Pelo que inclui, o preço é mais que justo. O bilhete de balsa de ida e volta de Manhattan é um acerto. O guia era bom, mas queria mais tempo para perguntas. Muito bom para uma primeira vez na cidade. Faltou água disponível, principalmente com aquele calor.

Lo mejor del viaje
Superó lo que esperábamos. De todo el recorrido, New York es lo que más recuerdo. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. Gracias por el día que nos hicieron pasar.

Una de las mejores cosas que hicimos en New York. Aprovechamos guía turístico experto que habla inglés más de lo que pensábamos. Muy buen guía, atento con todo el grupo y con paciencia infinita. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica.

Best day of our stay in New York. Well signposted throughout, and staff were attentive. Do it early, fewer people and much better light. Five well earned stars.

Muy buena atención
Nos sorprendió para bien. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Que incluya entrada al Museo de Inmigración de Ellis Island te ahorra el estrés de llegada. Precio fijo cerrado de antemano, sin sorpresas al llegar. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. Conocer un poco de Vehículos en el camino fue un plus. Si están por New York, no se lo pierdan.
