Thank you so much José, for this wonderful experience! We’re taking home some very beautiful and fun memories, and we would 100 °/o recommend this experience! ❤️🗽

José is amazing ! He is super kind, funny and he has so much knowledge. I honestly recommend it 100%! It is worth the time and the money. We had a really good time and ended up knowing so much about all these places. José also took amazing pictures of us! Thank you thank you thank you José. We wish you all the best and hopefully we will meet some day in France.
A wonderful day trip around the other districts of NY. Our guide was really knowledgable and very friendly. Loved seeing the outer districts, and as someone who loves social history really enjoyed bringing historical events to life. Lots to see. Plenty of stops and places to explore. Highly recommend.
Mario Rozales,is the best guide that you can find here. The tour is super complete and inclusive. And also very very funny! Compliments and very very suggested. Andrea Gracias Mario!
Super, Jose, we loved you as a guide!! We would repeat it
Impressive An unforgettable experience, Jose the guide is a star, very nice, pleasant, and a professional. He made us have a perfect and very fun day, we will definitely recommend it.
Interesting tour to see the different neighborhoods of New York. The entire tour is done by van and you make short stops.
The best way to see much further beyond Manhattan. Very grateful to Jose for the pleasant experience and super charisma with which he made us enjoy the whole tour with so much energy. We will do it again!
The tour was fantastic but the best part, without a doubt, was our guide, José. Very professional and super fun. 100% recommended.
We booked the VIP Contrasts Tour, highly recommended, very dynamic and fun. You get to see places that would otherwise be difficult to visit on your own. I went with my two children, aged 18 and 13, and they had a great time, especially the youngest, since it is very interactive and our guide made him get very involved. Since it is a small group (there were 12 of us), it is very personalized, and they are very attentive to you. Congratulations on your work!!
The best guide!!! With all the energy from the beginning, with a lot of knowledge of the places we visited and much more. He answered every question, very friendly and always attentive to each of us. A highly recommended tour. Loved it!!! Thank you very much José!!!
The experience was spectacular. We met different places in New York that we would not have discovered if we had not done the tour. We were 13 people from the same family and there were children of different ages. It is essential to say that our guide, Jose, loved it. He is a person involved, dedicated, funny and with an incredible feeling. He explained in detail each of the small treasures that the city keeps. We have never done such a special tour before. We recommend it 100%.
Of the best tours I've ever done. I have done dozens of guided tours on my trips and this has been one of the best. Guide Jose was wonderful: fun, lively and made our morning a great experience. We were 12 people in the group but the treatment is very personalized. We felt like a family. The tour is long and worth it. Many areas of the city are seen with many explanations both during the stop and on the way. It is a good way to see these neighborhoods without getting tired and without wasting time. I recommend it!
Very fun, dynamic and recommended activity. The guide Jose a 10.
An extraordinary tour!! The Victor guide has been fantastic and has made us enjoy all the iconic points of the city. It's definitely worth it.
That the guide Jose is wonderful all very well explained. A fantastic tour of the best I have ever done.
The guide Jose super nice and nice, we really liked
100% recommended, especially for the work of the guide José, who with his vitality, kindness and good attitude made the experience 10
José our guide was fantastic, he explained everything wonderfully, he made it enjoyable with all his “surprises” at the different stops, my daughter told me “mom this guide does very well, because it makes you hooked” and it is true, so José a 10
100% recommended. The guide Jose un 10, generates an amazing atmosphere, has prepared fun activities at each stop and explains everything very enjoyable and detailed. Super complete tour, perfect to see the different districts and cultural differences that exist comfortably, quickly and seeing all the most emblematic points. We were 6 friends and had a great time !!!!! 🔝🔟✅
Spectacular experience, different. José un crack, recommended 200%!!! Spectacular.
Victor amazing, we loved it
What a pleasure tour. Our guide Mario Rosales made our day an unforgettable experience. A fun and entertaining way to get to know different areas of the Big Apple. Highly recommended. Pos data, you have to get carried away to enjoy it fully. Follow the instructions of the guide and it will be unforgettable.
We can only say Spectacular! Jose has been an amazing guide very pleasant and fun. It lasts 7 hours but is shortened by the friendliness and treatment of the guide.
Highly recommended this tour! You see a lot of historic areas of New York, which are further away from downtown. Also, Mario, gave us a great time and provided us a lot with all the explanations about the route. The best guide! Definitely highly recommended. We'd repeat!
We had a great time on our tour. Highly recommended and very complete. Many photographic records we were a family with two older children and had a great time.
We did the VIP contrast tour on the second day of arrival and could not be happier. We want to thank Mario, our guide, for his involvement, enthusiasm and the passion with which he explains every point of the city. All the data he gave us helped us to understand New York better and to enjoy the rest of the trip even more. Also, he made some great photos that were a perfect memory of the day. The experience has been unbeatable. I highly recommend it. If you have a chance to do it with him, don't hesitate.
We did the tour of contrasts with the guide Mario and was great, 100% recommending. A very entertaining and dynamic tour. Mario made our day very enjoyable, explaining everything great and referring to all the movies shot in the places where we passed. We give it a 10/10
Superb experience. The guide is fantastic, knows quite a lot about the subject and makes very enjoyable all day.
Mario Rosales was the best! 100% recommended if you want to meet and have a very good time in NY. Emblematic film costumes
An excellent excursion (contrstes new york 30/10/25 ) but more excellent the JOSE driver guide who made the excursion very enjoyable and gave some explanations of everything exceptional and knew everything you asked a TEN for the guide
Best part of the trip. We did the private tour. Communication with the Enterprise pretty easy, hassle-free. José picked us up at the scheduled time and time flew by. Super entertaining and you see many parts of the city that on your own would be complicated. As for Jose... Spectacular! Super fun, attentive and very good professional, it is amazing the information you give and how enjoyable the tour makes. From the first moment it makes you feel very comfortable. Recommended Experience 100%
Jose has been our guide and we could not have been luckier to have him. The energy that Jose gives off encourages you at all times, explanations of 10 and a few dances that despite the rain made us move our asses and not stop smiling. They have all the controllable ride, they carry their props for each stop, and they have their strategic points to take the best photos of NY. An unbeatable experience.
We did the tour with José, a very fun and pleasant guide, made the experience very enjoyable, played music that animated the Mood, danced and sang together, had a good time throughout the journey. It also told many details of each place visited and showed the differences between different neighbourhoods. Highly recommended.
One of the best memories I take from New York is this tour. The experience itself is wonderful but if you have a guide like Mario Rosales already is second to none. We got to know the different neighborhoods of New York, Mario told us a lot of things and solved all our doubts, but also made us spend a very fun day with the whole family and come home with a few photos! I highly recommend it.
Fantastic. Great tour I would not hesitate to recommend. Data, lots of locations. Fantastic. The unsurpassed guide. An unforgettable experience.
We found this contrast tour by chance and booked it because the VIP experience was a little more expensive than other normal experiences with another Enterprise. Our guide Jose was the best, the tour with him was very entertaining and nothing long, on the contrary, we even got short. They carry many surprises for the tour and the stops you make are very well thought out. It was all laughter, I wish you were all lucky enough to have a guide like Jose!:)
The tour was excellent in one word. Fun, different, singular is supershort 7 hours and you want more. Jose and Mario are very valid, super attentive and very professional, they explain everything in detail and take the best photos, besides being super attentive, without them the tour would not have been the same. Let's say I'd do it again 100x100 for sure and I advise everyone. A wonder of a tour
An amazing and unforgettable experience I recommend it one pass. I recommend it 100% is a super nice tour, the tour guide has been super nice and super friendly would repeat it again without a doubt. Tour guide: Mario Rosales
I loved it, I touch myself in the van with Mario. But they're both animacy. They present each area of the neighborhood with a film, music or story. They also wear props to make the photographs within a film. Unforgettable experience
Mario has helped us create a new experience, a wonderful tour with many dynamic and very fun, very nice memories and many beautiful photos
Super fun experience and 100% recommended. I did it with my husband in a mini 9 with a group of 7 people in total, unfortunately only the Spanish language was available, but Mario was super helpful in trying to explain everything to us and we quite understood each other. It is a mix of music, film, history and general culture that allows you to observe the less touristy places in New York. An alternative tour to explore the Big Apple and see the contrasts that are outside Manhattan. At each stage Mario made us have fun with games and disguises spending 7-8 hours without getting bored. Vote 10!
We did the tour with Mario. He taught us everything without any hurry, he made us enjoy every stop as long as it took. And during the journeys he told us a lot of interesting things. The stops are very well chosen. If you go to New York you can not miss this tour, and if it is with Mario, much better
It exceeded expectations. Mario Rosales, good professional and excellent treatment. It made us spend an unforgettable day with the whole family (teenager included). All great
Amazing!! Mario's a great guy. I will not explain anything because it is better to discover it, but I have done many tours and this has been the one that surprised me the most! An 11 out of 10 for Mario
A fantastic tour! It went super fast. The guide, Mario Rosales, a crack! It made it fun and provided us with a lot of information...he knows the areas and their history well. A full-fledged contrast experience! I recommend it without hesitation!
Very entertaining and participatory activity. Our guide Mario Rosales very attentive, funny, has explained a lot of data and has taken many photos. Fully recommended
A must-see excursion in New York. With more stops and time to take photos than other companies that offer this experience. Jose, our guide, is a showman! It has made our excursion very enjoyable and fun. Always with very good humor and desire to offer a good experience. Remember to leave a tip to the guide if you think he has done a good job 😉
very good tour definitely recommend it, mario an excellent guide tour, we had an amazing time. for me it is something unpredictable when you come to NY
Fully recommended activity to know less tourist areas of the city. We were very lucky to let you know areas except the wonderful guide Mario Rosales, a 10 in friendliness and knowledge!! And also making the tour fun and enjoyable. Thanks Mario and up Honduras!
