Our guide, Sean, covered the historical, cultural and food aspects along the route. Highly recommended. #### — Harry Someone had recommended this tour, and she was not wrong! I too highly recommend it! Our guide was charismatic, enthusiastic and super knowledgeable — about all sorts, not just this area. The Sicilian pizza was fab too — tucked in so fast, forgot the obligatory photo. #### — CK I learned a lot from our friendly and very knowledgeable guide, Clair. There are lots of stunning views of Manhattan along the way, and the food was yummy.
