Real Bronx Tours,
which took mostly European tourists from Manhattan to see life in the
South Bronx "from a safe distance," issued a statement this week saying
it would immediately cease all tours there.
Three times a week, the $45 ride took visitors past food-pantry
lines, a housing project and a park a guide described as a pickpocket
hangout.
Tourists were told they'd get a look at the Bronx
that reflects one of the darkest chapters of the city's history, the
1970s and '80s, when the tour website said "this borough was notorious
for drugs, gangs, crime and murders."
