“Amazing tour!”
Albert was an amazing guide and our tour was just what we were seeking. Albert is hugely knowledgeable, personable and so easy to talk to. My partner and I only arrived in NY the day before and were feeling a little overwhelmed. Albert made us feel at ease from the moment we met him and he was able to adapt the tour to meet our personal needs. The tour covered all the key sites we wanted to see, plus other great sites we didn't even know about. We can't say enough great things about Albert and the tour. Thanks Albert for making our introduction to NY so fantastic.
