Christmas in New York
Published on Dec, 2023
Excellent tour and tour guide. BUT due to New York traffic, allow at least 2 hours to get to a pick up location that is 15 mins from your hotel by Lyft or Uber. Lyft and Uber drivers cannot control the heavy traffic and possibly won't get you to your pickup location on time.
