Incredible experience, discovery of magnificent neighborhoods with a great and super interesting guide (Kaissa) Thank you for this moment
Fascinating tour, with Kaissa! More than three hours of culture, history, and joyful wandering. From the Ivy League to Christopher Columbus (or not Christopher Columbus, actually)! I recommend it 100%. A wonderful way to discover the New York of yesterday and today.
Kaissa is great, enthusiastic and always smiling! The tour was very cultural and the history of New York absolutely fascinating. We loved this morning and highly recommend Kaissa for her good humor and the quality of her explanations. Another big thank you to Kaisa for this superb morning! 😊
Tour of Greenwich, Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown with Kaïssa. Super interesting tour with a TOP guide. I can only recommend it.
An unforgettable tour, even with the rain! For our family, ERICA is the best of guides! She knew how to share her enthusiasm for NYC with us: characteristics of the neighborhoods, activities, architecture, the daily life of New Yorkers, anecdotes... all in a good mood 🤩 Excellent guide!
Our guide Eric is passionate. Thanks to him for his kindness Very interesting tour Top Greenwich Village Eric is an available and very helpful guide (he even took us himself to our next meeting point.) He gave us addresses of restaurants and typical places in New York to visit I recommend the visit Thanks Eric
Superb tour with anecdotes. We discovered different places in NY with Thierry: Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown. Thierry is a passionate and interesting guide, and what's more, he had us discover superb cupcakes. We recommend it.
It was kind and perfect I never take a guide It was the first time, so It was so good that we booked 2 other tours: Thierry and Romain were great. Great for getting a feel for New York All the tours are great. Go for it.
Superb tour with anecdotes I didn't know, tour of the village, Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown. Ask for Kaïssa, she will help you discover the city with a different perspective than usual.
Superb tour of the village, Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown with Kaïssa. She helped us discover legendary places with many historical explanations and funny and interesting anecdotes. A big thank you from the whole family for this very good time!
A very beautiful experience to discover New York! Our guide (Romain) was passionate, friendly, and very interesting. The explanations were clear, the visits well organized, and we learned many things about the city. I highly recommend this guided tour!
Two guided tours in French with Samuel in New York: Grand Central then Greenwich Village, SoHo, and Chinatown. And what a discovery! From the very first minutes, Samuel makes you feel at ease with his friendliness, energy, and contagious passion. You do not simply follow a tour: you embark on a true New York adventure. Samuel has this rare talent for telling both the grand chapters of history and the little anecdotes that bring places to life. The secrets of Grand Central, the incredible visit to the library, architectural treasures, art, the characters who shaped the city… everything becomes fascinating. And that’s not all: gastronomy, good addresses, bars, local culture… Samuel seems to know everything and shares his knowledge generously and with humor. As a result: you look at New York with a whole new perspective. These visits were one of the highlights of our stay. If you are looking for a guided tour in French in New York, do not hesitate for a second: book with Samuel! An exceptional guide, passionate and engaging. The best of the best!
How to say... it was very good 👍👍👍 We loved the visit Judith took us to some amazing places She answered all our questions And explained New York and its history to us... Thank you again for this great moment
Thierry was a very good guide, a very pleasant person; he made us feel at ease and introduced us to neighborhoods in New York as well as the lifestyle of New Yorkers, which we particularly appreciated.
A lively visit led by an experienced and well-informed guide. We greatly appreciated his kindness and knowledge.
Thierry was very professional during our visit a passionate about the city we were enchanted we highly recommend it he does not look at his time we had a great time together we were a small group of 5
Discovery of atypical places Guides good historical knowledge and local culture
Excellent visit thanks to a guide as friendly as competent. He took the time to explain everything with great patience and passion. An enriching experience that I highly recommend!
Excellent experience with New York Off-Road! We took a little over three hours tour through Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown with our guide Stephanie, very friendly and with very good references. Used to walking tours in English, this time I chose a tour in French for my parents who came for Christmas, and it was a great decision. The pace was very pleasant and the explanations clear and interesting. We were a small group of 6 adults, which allows to really enjoy the explanations. Special mention for the coffee/cupcake stop, very appreciable despite the weather at -1°C. I highly recommend!
We already knew the agency New York off road and we made 2 visits in November. 1-Greenwich, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown with Stephanie: a very nice experience, a super professional guide who captivated us for more than 3 hours. We felt like we were sharing a moment with a girlfriend. She told us many anecdotes and well explained the history of these different neighborhoods. Although we had already made this visit about ten years ago, we learned many new things. We recommend, it is for us a must when coming to New York.!! 2- Street art in Bushwick and hipster neighborhood of williamsburg: again, a very nice visit with Judith who transported us to an open-air museum, the streets of Bushwick and confidential places. Many explanations by this very friendly guide. She introduced us to a chocolate factory where we could enjoy a delicious hot chocolate: we could never have discovered this place without her. She gave us many explanations about the origin of street art and the movement in Brooklyn. We loved that visit.
Beautiful three-person walk in New York with Erica who was available, attentive to our questions and who shared her knowledge of this huge metropolis.
Superb experience for this first morning in New York with our guide Judith, very attentive and who fully understands his subject. To do! We wanted to get off the beaten track near Greenwich Village and Soho: no regrets.
Great morning with Judith who introduced us to some great New York neighborhoods with lots of cool anecdotes. We recommend fully preferably at the beginning of the stay so that we can return to the recommended places!
Our guide Judith was just perfect. Very nice, attentive, professional, and a captivating, passionate and exciting speech. This visit made us discover NYC differently, neighborhoods such as Madison Square, Chelsea Market, Meatpacking... It was a very beautiful tourist and human adventure. Look no further, this is undoubtedly the best guided tour in NYC. Thanks to NY Off Road and Judith.
We had an exceptional experience in New York thanks to Samuel, a passionate and exciting guide. His knowledge of the city, mixing history, culture and anecdotes, turned our visit into a unique moment. He has adapted perfectly to the group, with energy, humor and kindness. Many thanks to him for this discovery off the beaten track. Recommend with your eyes closed!
We spent a fabulous morning with Erica in Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. She has captivated the attention of the whole family with her vivid descriptions of the neighborhoods, her chosen film references, her sharing of good addresses for shopping or to taste the best local specialties. The visit really went as we hoped. We are delighted with the experience and to have met Erica who has a lot of humor and who is a well of knowledge and good tips. We thank her again sincerely for everything!!!!
Our guide, Constance, was fantastic! Connoisseur of everything! The history of Manhattan, the natives, the evolution of neighborhoods, the good addresses. We couldn't hope for better!!
Flora introduced us to neighborhoods like only a person living in New York can. Despite heavy rain we had a very pleasant and informative time. Another big thank you 🙏
It was with Erika that we spent a very nice afternoon discovering Brooklyn, street art and the neighborhood life of Williamsburg. Erika, in addition to sharing her American lifestyle experience, was able to advise us of very good local addresses that we were able to test and approve the day after the visit! To complete it all, Erika has humorous talents that made us have a great time! Thank you Lady;-)!
We were for my birthday in New York in March and our visit was organized by Samuel a superb afternoon full of discovery, tips, thanks again to Samuel
Erica took us on a tour of the Central Station and its backstage as well as the midtown. We come back with lots of anecdotes and memories that we could never have discovered alone. Erica gave us time to discover the place while explaining her story. Many thanks for this discovery, if we return to New York, it is obvious that we will do a guided tour again.
Very nice visit with Angèle. We have a lot of information on the must-see neighborhoods. Very interesting visit.
Our guide Stephanie top! Lots of anecdotes and knowledge about architecture and cinematography thank you for a good time
Very rewarding visit with lots of advice. Each neighborhood is very marked by its history. We loved it and didn’t notice the miles driven
A very pleasant and unforgettable visit, Samuel gave us plenty of information and anecdotes that only a New Yorker could do it. Moreover this visit was made in good humor and simplicity, at the top , I highly recommend. Thanks again to him.
We visited Greenwich village, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. We liked Samuel's guidance and explanations. We made lots of pictures in "this little village", tasted cupcakes with coffee and enjoyed the history of this neighborhood. We recommend this morning visit and regret that we were unable to schedule more. Thank you, Samuel.
We enjoyed a very pleasant walking tour of the north of Williamsburg with Samuel, then Financial District. The comments were very relevant, full of good addresses, the pace was perfect, all with a touch of humor from Samuel who is very nice and adapts perfectly to all situations. I highly recommend the services of New York Off Road.
Visit Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown with Samuel for more than 3 hours. Very interesting. Samuel has shown us hidden details and corners that you don't notice when you walk alone in the city. He is very good contact and answered our questions patiently. The small size of the group is a plus and allows interactivity. I highly recommend New York Off Road and will definitely take another visit on a future trip.
The discovery of street art in Bushwick with Isabelle delighted us. We were able to see various works of the Bushwick Collective commented on and explained by our guide who knows the artists of the neighborhood well. We enjoyed the workshop where we were able to realize our own work of street art with the family accompanied by a very friendly graffiti artist.
We had a great afternoon with Rod. He took us through Williamsburg, Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights under a bright sun. His explanations allowed us to better understand the history and characteristics of this city. Exciting!
A tour of the neighborhoods made very interesting thanks to the explanations and anecdotes of our guide. Our guide gave us many tips for the rest of our stay. It has helped us greatly. Our teenagers and young adults also found the tour very suitable.
We thought we knew New York City. With Stéphanie we discovered New York from another angle with many cinematic and historical anecdotes. A walk to do.
Very good experience with a very kind guide and who explained the history of the places visited. I highly recommend
Great time to share with a guide of choice!! I leave with a passion for fire escapes. I didn't expect to get caught up in the architecture of New York.
Visit that I recommend 100%, thanks to Kaïssa we learned lots of very interesting anecdotes about the history and life of the various neighborhoods visited and all in good humor and conviviality, it was great!!!!
The discovery of the neighborhoods is extraordinary thanks to the explanations of Kaisa. His historical and geographical knowledge allowed us to discover and better understand NYC .
For our first day in New York, Samuel guided us through Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy and China Town. It allowed us to discover the history of these neighborhoods and their hidden treasures. He also recommended us many good addresses. Despite the rain, we did not see the time pass and are very satisfied with this visit. We recommend without reservation, and if possible at the beginning of your stay!
Thank you Erica for your professionalism and especially your kindness We had a great time Can't wait to get back Cécé tata Jojo Seb
I made two visits to New York with Off Road. It was great! I could never have seen and understood this city so well without our guides. I was alone with my 13-year-old son and we were both captivated by their explanations. Thank you again for this great experience.
