Russell’s Basketball tour in NY was really amazing. He picked us up from our hotel and organized an incredible and very well structured tour around our shared passion of basketball. We visited all the main basketball landmarks and he was even able to get us to play against the locals. Russell is a professional tourist guide, extremely knowledgeable and engaging but also fun and great to be around. We would totally recommend his tour and cannot wait to come back to NY to do the second round !
