“This was the worst tour we did on our 5 week trip to USA! There was only my husband and I on this tour. The guide was terrible. He presented very poorly in dirty clothing….we actually thought he was on the tour not leading it! He went of plan and left us behind to catch up to him during the whole tour. We asked many questions that he could not answer. Every other tour we went on the guides were extremely knowledgeable. He would nearly fall off his bike staring at young women as we rode. I would certainly not take children on this tour we were riding through very…”

“We had Cherie as our tour guide, we met her easily at the Oculus beer garden & she took us inside to a building nearby, given the temperature was in the minus, we were very grateful to start the tour in the warm! The headsets were a little hit and miss in the freezing temperatures, but the walk across Brooklyn bridge was spectacular, if cold given with windchill it got to -10 degrees!
