Hello GuruWalkers! We are Ala Tours. We were born in Bogota, Colombia and our team has been living in New York City for several years as well as traveling around the world getting to know different places that we have fallen in love with. New Yorkers say that we transmit the energy of the city more local than they do, because of our love and knowledge about this great city. We have visited close to 50 countries and from each of them we learned something new. Our goal is to discover the culture, architecture, art and customs of each new destination we visit. Likewise, we love to share experiences, so we will be happy to share with you everything we know about NYC, so you can take with you an unforgettable experience. We are waiting for you!

No fue buena, el guía no tenía información de lo que estábamos viendo y no nos llevó a la biblioteca que estaba publicada en el tour. Fue como hacerlo solos

Le faltaba información y conocimiento. Nosotros hicimos varios tours en nuestros viajes por Europa también pero de otras empresas como sandemans, interviajes, buen día tours y civitatis. El tour de hoy fue el peor que compartimos y además se fue antes el guía porque tenía otro compromiso dijo y no llegó a terminar en la biblioteca. Lo peor es que el jueves próximo reservé otro con ustedes y no sé si voy a perder mi tiempo… que es lo más valioso en estos viajes de pocos días. Gracias. Gabriela.

Decepcionados. El tour comenzó con spuntualidad pero no se nos avisó de que no había tiempo de ver la Biblioteca. Nos quedamos con las ganas de aprender más sobre Naciones Unidas y la agenda 2030 (preguntamos al final y nos dijo que allí había paneles que informaban). No hemos entrado al jardín, no ha explicado Tudor City. Muy decepcionados, no lo recomiendo

Muy interesante y guía profesional. Quizás en un día con mejor clima, el ritmo hubiera sido más ágil.
