Excelente actitud de Kevin. Muy puntual y excelente conocimiento histórico y del lugar. Buen manejo del grupo. Como oportunidad de mejora, consideraría tiempo para algunas fotografías, por ejemplo Charging Bull (estuvimos 10min escuchándolo frente al monumento pero no nos dio tiempo para las fotos), lo mismo con el monumento al 9-11 ni al Oculus, que lo explicó desde la plaza, nos indicó donde era pero no los recorrió. Translate this opinion into English.

Kevin had an excellent attitude. He was very punctual and had excellent knowledge of the history and location. He managed the group well. As an area for improvement, I would suggest allowing more time for photographs, for example, at the Charging Bull monument (we spent 10 minutes listening to him speak in front of it, but didn't have time for photos). The same applies to the 9/11 Memorial and the Oculus; he explained them from the plaza, pointed them out, but didn't actually walk through them. Opinion translated. Show original.

Más allá de los datos históricos y arquitectónicos, nos contó detalles que seguramente sean los que recordemos con el pasar de los años.

Fui con mi esposo y con mis dos hijas (18 y 14) nuestro guía Omar, excelente, super ameno. Mi familia y yo hemos ido a otros tours como estos y alguno se ha hecho pesado sin embargo con Omar ¡para nada! La caminata de dos horas y media pasó súper rápido, amenizada con las canciones que Omar nos ponía y con mucha información, historia e incluso nos dio premios por responder correctamente sus preguntas. Para mí ha sido un 1000/10. ¡Super Recomendado! Translate this opinion into English.

I went with my husband and my two daughters (18 and 14). Our guide, Omar, was excellent and incredibly engaging. My family and I have been on other tours like this, and some have been tedious, but with Omar, it was anything but! The two-and-a-half-hour hike flew by, made more enjoyable by the music Omar played and the wealth of information and history he shared. He even gave us prizes for answering his questions correctly. For me, it was a 1000/10. Highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.
