Stunning views! - We thoroughly enjoyed this mix of driving/walking tour with many special moments. Our favourite was definitely the skyline at sunset as it captured the beauty of NYC and its ever evolving landscape in the most breathtaking colors. It was very nice to see parts of New Jersey as well such as Hoboken (Carlos Bakery, Hamilton duel, etc.) but Pablo made it very easy to customize our tour to what interested us. We ended up for dinner at Malos (a Greek restaurant) as per his recommendation. It was a great atmosphere with the best view. If I had one tiny bit of suggestion, I would have liked a few more points of interest with a little more information or facts/history mixed in with gorgeous views.

Exceptional Customer Service! - Although we couldn’t attend the tour due to personal reasons, Pablo was incredibly understanding, attentive, and friendly throughout the booking process. He stayed in touch and made everything so easy, even when I had to cancel at the last minute. His professionalism and kindness truly stand out, and I can’t wait to book with him again in the future. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience - This tour was one of the best things we did during our trip. I enjoyed the views very much (impressive!) but also all the hidden corners Pablo took us to. We started in Jersey City, then went to Hoboken and then to Liberty Park. I didn't realize there would be so much to see. Pablo is gracious, patient and knows a lot about the city and this beautiful area of New Jersey. Even though we chose a cold day, all the walks we took were worth it: so breathtaking and inspiring. I totally recommend the experience!

Fantastic views and great tour - I live in New York City so I never thought about doing a tour like this. I decided to do it when my parents came to visit me from Spain. I was blown away! The views are not only amazing but Pablo explains the history and anecdotes of all these locations and buildings on both sides of the Hudson river, making the tour interesting and very entertaining. I loved to see the gigantic Joan Plensa statue facing Manhattan and the midtown views from Weehawken. Another highlight was the Hamilton stone where he laid his head after a deadly duel. We traveled by Path to meet with Pablo and came back to Manhattan on the ferry. So easy. I certainly recommend this tour to everybody. It's a great way to do something different and also see the city from a different perspective.

A magical journey -
The moment the tour begins, the stark contrast between the unrelenting and suffocating air which shrouds NY and the calm, serenity and the breath of fresh air of New Jersey which is so very palpable, invigorates your soul.
The tour with Pablo, if you are fortunate to embark upon it, leads you into a different realm.
Just a tunnel crossing away and so much magic engulfs you.
Skyline is merely a term. It does not elucidate the journey. It does not allow you to envisage the passage of time that you get to experience.
It does not give you an insight of the overwhelming sense of awe and indelible impression of the discovery you are about to embark into.
Only a local knows, a local who has over the years, parted the curtains of the rich culture and tradition of his surroundings.
And Pablo is that person.
Be prepared to be handsomely rewarded when the significance of what you get to see, dawn's upon you.
The magical hour beckons.

Wonderful tour experience! - We took Paolo's tour before leaving on a cruise from Cape Liberty. It was good to see the view of Manhattan and sights along the New Jersey side of the Hudson River. Paolo was a great guide and very helpful as we customized the tour to add Liberty State Park and a drop off at the cruise port.

Amazing Tour - You can't miss it! - Paolo’s Stunning New York Skyline Tour was amazing! My friends and I enjoyed it to the fullest. Before taking this tour, we were in Manhattan walking in the middle of the skyscrapers. But looking at them from the distance across the Hudson River, is a complete different experience. The views are stunning. Paolo took us to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the island from different spots. He made several stops and gave us time to walk, enjoy and take many pictures while he was alongside us. The car had air conditioner and bottled waters were there ready for us, what gave a special touch and made our journey even more pleasant and unforgettable. Paolo has a friendly approach and charming personality. We could sense his passion for what he does and he is very knowledgeable of the city history and has other stories and personal anecdotes to share, that kept our full interest and attention from beginning to the end. Highly recommended tour, you can’t not miss it at all!

Dreamy views, beautiful walk - Highly recommended walk. The views are spectacular, better even than in the photos, and Paolo makes it very enjoyable. He obviously knows the area thoroughly and makes observations that only a local could make. I loved that, knowing someone from the place, who looked like a friend rather than a guide. We were also shocked with the electric car. All very nice. Very nice experience.
