the place where to meet is not clear. The guides makes overbooking so people get angry from the first begining. The way is long to go to a place not worth it. The explaination is not bad, but is not enough to save the whole thing. maybe you liked it, I didn't

Wow, where do I begin? The most annoying of all was that we didn't go to SEVERAL of the places listed on the tour website. We didn't go to the Bronx Zoo, the (JFK) mansions, the Bronx Museum, City Island, nor Little Italy (meaning, we didn't get to pound on ANY of the much-touted and legendary pizza pie from the... More

This tour really gives you a treat. It exposes you to a different part of the city. We had Lynn as our tour guide and she ROCKED it. Thank you for a great tour.

The best thing about this tour was the guide which really was energetic throughout the whole tour and told interesting stories during the whole 2 hours. The only small downsides were that the still "asked" for tips (they said 8$ were "usual") although we paid the tour with our New York Pass. The other one was that at the Yankee... More

We were looking forward to this tour as it was going to take us to places we wanted to see. WRONG! We didn't go to Little Italy's Arthur Street, nor the Bronx Zoo. When we asked the guide we were told the tour no longer goes there because it takes too long - at least another hour. Well, why advertise... More

The guide is amazing and talks with a lot of background. You pass through the Bronx and Harlem with a small tour bus. At Yankee Stadium, there is a short break and you do a small walk. You receive a lot of information on the neighboorhood and places of interests (theatres, places where famous people live,...). A good and safe... More

It was an interesting tour but it was the guide Ibrahima who gave us the real "Ze Bronx" feeling!

We took this tour as part of our city passes. We're *so* glad we did. Mike was just full full full of facts! Very knowledgeable, extremely personable. We learned not just about "da Bronx," but also about the other neighborhoods as we passed through them. The pizza was awesome - I still pine over it. We wanted to get Mike... More

Decided to take my family on the Bronx tour and was very impressed with our guide Ibrahima this guy was full of energy, stories and information. The tour took us up the far east side of manhattan showing us a different view of manhattan. When we arrived into the Bronx's Mott Haven section it seemed to be a pretty rough... More
