Could you please tell me what the cost would be for a 2-day tour of New york city.

AnswerShow all 2 answers

Cliff's rate is $295/hr with a 4 hour minimum. He does not charge by the person. Assuming that you do four hours each day you are looking at a total of $2400 for the two days. Expensive but worth it!
