The Bronx “ghetto” tour is no more.
A tour company exposed by The Post on Sunday for bringing tourists to the South Bronx to gawk at food pantry lines, a “pickpocket” park and a housing project, yesterday announced it would stop all tours “effective immediately.”
“Good riddance,” said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. “The Bronx is more than what it was in its darkest times, and this company refused to see that.”
In a letter to the Bronx Tourism Council, Real Bronx Tours, which took mostly European and Australian tourists from Midtown to the South Bronx, wrote, “Effective immediately, Bronx Tours will cease all scheduled tours to the Bronx.”
