Bronx, Brooklyn & Queens

$60.00

Conducted in English, this tour is a complement to the traditional city tour of Manhattan.  You will explore the less known,  yet authentic  boroughs of The Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn, leaving behind all preconceived  notions of New York  to discover the vibrant communities of Orthodox Hassidic-Jews, Greeks, Italian-Americans, as well as the enclaves of Caribbean, Middle-Eastern and Russian communities: the “Melting Pot”!
