Lack of respect
The tour was very beautiful, the guide was very thorough in the descriptions throughout all 5 hours, but at the end of the tour they should have dropped us off at the Riu Times Square hotel. However, due to the heavy traffic (which is normal in Manhattan), Luigi decided to drop us off on the street in pouring rain, and we had to walk for 20 minutes to the hotel where the tour was supposed to end. We found this behavior disrespectful, especially because there were elderly people and children present.
Response from the operator: Gentile cliente, grazie per aver apprezzato il tour e il lavoro della nostra guida! Spiace che l unico appunto su un tour come riconosce lei stessa, molto bello, sia legato a un fattore secondario e al di fuori del nostro controllo: sono giorni in cui a causa delle partite FIFA, molte strade vengono chiuse al traffico causando veri e propri ingorghi e blocchi ovunque. La guida ha la facolta' durante un tour, di modificare un itinerario se le circostanze lo richiedono: la scelta di far finire il tour in un punto comunque walking distance dall hotel dove il tour sarebbe dovuto finire, e' stata dettata unicamente dal tentativo di non rimanere bloccati nel traffico per un'altra ora. La guida ha informato i clienti di questo piccolo cambio di programma, e nessuno ha avuto da ridire comprendendo appieno la situazione. Sottolineo altresi' che i tour finiscono sempre fra la 5 e la 6 avenue, 46th street, dove c'e' la sede del nostro ufficio, e non al RIU, dove li facciamo terminare solo nei weekend in cui la sede principale non e' aperta al pubblico, come appunto il giorno del vostro tour. Parlare di comportamento irrispettoso non rende giustizia alla professionalita' e al lavoro della guida che quel giorno ha condotto un tour ineccepibile, ma viene penalizzata con una brutta review, per aver cercato di operare la scelta migliore per i nostri clienti. Rispettiamo comunque il suo feedback per il quale ringraziamo comunque.

Beautiful
My husband and I took this tour, which allowed us to see the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. The guide William is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, very engaging. Certainly, the tour itself is nice, but the guide definitely made a difference!

Bus only, no walking
Don't do it! In Brooklyn, he only drops you off at a mural, never in other neighborhoods, he doesn't show Dumbo, we don't even go close, the Jewish Quarter shows you on the bus, the Bronx only gives you a 10-minute ride in little Italy, and that's it! Poor, we expected a walk in Brooklyn, now we all have to make ourselves alone
Response from the operator: Gentile cliente, In nessun punto della descrizione del nostro tour si parla di Dumbo. Il nostro tour non ci e' mai andato perche' questo quartiere e' incluso in altro tour, ovvero il tour dei ponti e delle luci. A Bushwick non si vede "un murales" ma l'intera Bushwick Collective con visita dell'intero quartiere. Passiamo poi per il quartiere ebraico per rientrare a Manhattan. Confermo che in Bronx le fermate sono sia allo Yankee Stadium che all'antico mercato italiano di Arthur's Avenue dove si sta sempre piu' di 10 minuti. E' un tour che si chiama dei contrasti proprio per permettere di avere una visuale su piu' distretti molto diversi fra loro, ma anche lontani, infatti il tour si opera in 5 ore. Ci spiace che il tour non abbia soddisfatto le aspettative, ma nel nostro tour noi non abbiamo mai parlato di Dumbo. Rimaniamo a disposizione e ringraziamo comunque per il prezioso feedback!

Tour of the districts
We were accompanied by the guide Emanuela, professional person, very prepared and nice. Visited the various districts especially the Bushwick neighborhood, very beautiful murals.

Disappointing NYC Contrasts Tour
We bought the tour of contrasts that proved useless! We caught a grotesque and unsympathetic guide, made a few stops of just 5 minutes, including one in the Jewish Quarter to accompany the guide to buy cookies at the store instead of turning into the neighborhood! In our itinerary was indicated the visit to Dumbo for the Brooklyn Bridge but it was not done! We could have avoided spending 75€ per person!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour of Contrasts in Italian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Tour of Contrasts in Italian cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tour of Contrasts in Italian take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Tour of Contrasts in Italian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour of Contrasts in Italian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tour of Contrasts in Italian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour of Contrasts in Italian?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour of Contrasts in Italian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
