I did the contrast tour 8 years ago and it has nothing to do with it. The tour is to catch a bus and put a tape recorder telling you mostly about Manhattan. We didn’t make just stops, the first was the graffiti, we didn’t stop at the police station that came out in El Apache, nor in Queens in the Malba neighborhood. Most of the time we went on the bus non-stop and he was telling us what he wanted, The Twin Towers, the memorial, the statue of freedom, we didn't even know what neighborhood we were in. After telling him that if he could please tell us about the contrasts and whatnot, he scolded us by saying that if we had listened to him. Just as I loved it in 2017, I found it a waste of time and money.
Very good experience, and being a small group is very quick as the waits do not get heavy. Also very nice the guide Juan who was making interesting comments
