We got to tour fun parts of the city we wouldn’t have gotten to on foot, plus got to try hot chicken barbecue, sweets etc. Really enjoyed it.”

“We were not overly impressed with this excursion. We read the comments and thought we would have an absolute blast but that really wasn’t the case. We went to four locations around and on broadway and had a drink at each place however, we weren’t able to pick our drinks. The options were subpar at best. For the amount we paid for this excursion it definitely was not worth it. Our tour guide Sean was knowledgeable but also gave off the impression we wasn’t thrilled about doing this tour. We expected there to be more people but it was only our group of 4. I would not bother booking anything…”
