This was a fantastic tour. Jorge is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. There was no one else on the tour that day and Jorge or the tour company could have easily cancelled but they did not. We got a really personalized experience. Jorge is super knowledgeable. He had first hand and historical information. It was also very interesting hearing from someone who is a New Yorker and was right there during 9/11. We covered a lot of ground that day and probably put on about 20,000 steps at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
