Tour imperdible para conocer mas profundamente y en menos de 3 horas una de las zonas mas importantes de New York, lugar de la fundación de la ciudad, centro de las finanzas, zona de llegada de la principal inmigración que pobló la ciudad y punto emblemático luego del 9/11. Omar nuestro guía encantador y además de mostrarnos y explicarnos la zona, nos dio varios piques importantes. Translate this opinion into English.

A must-see tour to get a deeper understanding of one of New York's most important areas in less than three hours. The city's founding site, the center of finance, the arrival point for the city's main immigration center, and a landmark after 9/11. Our charming guide, Omar, not only showed us around and explained the area, but also gave us several great tips. Opinion translated. Show original.
