NEW YORK: 'Big Bus' City tour | He insulted me | My Bad Experience
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2018
- On the 28th day of my US trip (May 2018), I booked a Hop on-hop off 'Big Bus' tour to see the popular tourist attractions in New York. I had a bad experience with the Big Bus tour Guide. Watch this video to see the Staten Island ferry tour to see a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, New York. Also, see New York's, Central Park. #NewYork #MountainTrekkerUSA #IndianinAmerica

ABOUT ME
I'm Varun.
I am a full-time traveller now (yes, I quit my job to follow my dreams). I love solo travelling & meeting people. After travelling extensively in Incredible India for years, I stepped out of my country and realised, how beautiful the world is! I started making travel web series in Hindi full of travel tips and tricks, especially for budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn the best things to make our world a better place to live in. I was awarded the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions to the field of promotion of Tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now get invitations from across the globe to visit their places and show them to the world.

Although Kevin was speaking in his natural speed and accent, where he went WRONG was " not having Respect for fellow passenger's sentiment ".
That thing neither American nor Indian modern schools bother to teach.
He didn't come by his own...his fore fathers were brought to America as a slave.
@@misskick8094 it's called sarcasm
@@tuts351 lol varun over reacted
He has respect for a fellow passengers opinion, that's why he comes up later and asks Varun "are you good?" With a smile to make him comfortable, to which varun replies, "no I'm not good"
U don't ask other people permission to insert the their face it sodl rude
American who speak English talked so rudely ,
But Russians who don't know English talked so happily with varun
This is difference between superpower of weapons and super power of lovely hearted people
Americans have bigger buildings And Russians have big hearts
Bro, Russia have most major powerful weapons.. Most of weapons r made there. They topped the list of having nuclear bombs. So, they r strong with humbleness

I've been to new York twice, two things which I notice were people aren't that friendly and other is that people usually don't wanna talk to Asian people much as I tried to engage a conversation with a new Yorker, he just ignored me like I didn't existed.
That is all new yorkers in general, they really don’t give time to anybody, and its a very diverse city so they don’t really care as much abt tourists, other parts of US is much more calmer and more hospitable, but still, i love new york. Its kinda like delhi, so many things we hate and complain abt delhi but still i love delhi.
Ok bro its their country sometimes u cant go to other countries and expect kind treatment everywhere thats why i hate these stereotypes of how good america is and all , all r nothing but shit ...only some countries r nice
New Yorkers don't talk to anyone lol. Don't take it personal
English is not his first language. The guide was talking too fast. He was justified in asking him to slow down.
@@truthisnotrelative7438 lol
@@truthisnotrelative7438 First of all I've never heard from an English speaker that Indian English accent is fast. Yes it's a bit different but NOT a fast one. Secondly, if you've so much problem with our English accent, then why don't you learn Hindi and communicate with us.

Mr. Varun, Kevin is an ill mannered man. Do you know his last name? I will file a complaint against him. Love from New York bro,
Already 2 years happened
William A. Thank u so much you listening my brother words i appericiate you brother william
Ha ha ... Two years happened
Gentleman spotted!
Thank You William for understanding Varun's situation. And I think it does not matter it this incident was two years back. If a complaint is registered, at least no more people will have to face the same situation from Kevin or any other guide.

Well I'm from Washington DC and lived and traveled most of India in the 2000s. Good ole Kevin's attitude is NYC style. They're nice but don't mess with them. Being polite isn't what NY is famous for haha. You had every right to ask him to speak slower. After all you're the customer and paid for the tour. Ole Kevin's probably never been to a country and tried to understand their language. Anyway I like your videos because you give a good understanding of where you are and a bit of history and background. Much better than other videos I've seen. I like the Serbia ones too as I used to live in Poland and their language and style seems similar. Keep moving on my friend and don't worry about grumpy Kev. You're another place and he's still on that bus haha
True
He is still on the bus😄😄😄😄.. Good one
Man even we can be rude , come to India we can teach him a lesson
'He is still on that bus' good punch 😂
He'll probably always stay on that bus if he does change his behaviour towards others
USA is the last place that will be on my list as a tourist.
Same
Never judge the whole country or the people due to one man's behaviour.
Even in India at many tourist places you will find many rude locals, touts and taxi/rickshaw drivers. So will you avoid visiting these places too?
@@niranjankarnad2083 Yes
Same
Come over to Washington, it's a lot better here ...
I too had a horrendous experience with that bus company while in New York. They don't care about their visitors at all and let their employees do whatever they want. Hopefully enough people notice this and their company goes under some day.
AKI nice
I had a good experience when I went with them. The guide & driver were both very friendly. I guess it differs on who is running them
@fan8281 dude wtf...he would sed the same if it was a white man..if a tour guide can't help a tourist what's the use
Probably because youre in New York. Big Bus in London (same company) is really good!
AKI are you hindu man or woman?
Being honest, people have over hyped and over rated the tourism to America. I don't know why the hell they want to visit USA for what? Lol. I'd consider US as last in the list of trips.
Personally, I feel visiting Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Sweden, Czech Republic,. Sri Lanka would be better places.
Everyone has their preferences being a super powerand diverse country USA catters a lot of tourists because it is a diverse country and pretty big

Same Delhi is heartless
Agreed 👍
@Yashvardhan Poddar yes I have lived there and yes they dont mix up with other nationalities easily hit some love Indians
A person like Kevin should be treated the same way as he treats other people.
A shamefull act!
I read somewhere that people treat with you in the same way that they are being treated I think that's the case with Kevin
@fan8281
So requesting someone to talk slow do that I can understand what he is saying is entitlement!! Dude you are insane get some help
@fan8281 I have nothing to say if you think rude behaviour is okay without a reason.
America is very mechanical, Europe is more humane..
High on drugs?
Europeans are not arrogant that is what i experienced there.....but as far as the internet goes...USA is considered bit harsh....
yes americans are like machines dont care about anyone and anything. No wonder US has most prisoners in the world. On the other hand europeons are more humane and they show respect to different culture also.
What the fu#$ are you talking about? Whaaatttt????
Your spoke it wrong
We always find a person like Kevin in our life, but don't let them ruin your happiness. You did very good by staying calm, and had your precious travel experience without getting upset. I don't know how I would have react.
Varun bhai itni mehnat se logo k liye video banate hai.
Aur pata nahi q kuch log inki video ko dislike karte hai
Plz sir sirf like karo warna kuch mat karo.
That kevin fellow was rude to the extreme. He shouldn't have made fun of u. Anyway some ppl like him exist everywhere...
@Dibyo Roy Don't be a fool. He never told that tour guide to change his accent, rather he requested him to slow down the pace of his accent, which is not at all a Herculean task. And being a tour guide it's his duty to make the tourist get understand his words.
@Dibs Ry lol where he insisted ....this is wht happens when u sleep while watching youtube
Varun bro, If he was sitting beside you and personally talking ONLY with u, and you were not understanding him, then it would have been completely fine to request him to speak a little slower. But, he was giving a tour and speaking in front of everyone. And while everyone have no problem understanding his accent and are listening to him patiently, you cut him off in middle and ask him to speak slower JUST FOR YOU. Its absurd to expect him to change his accent/speed just for you. So it was actually YOU being rude to him ! You could have just accepted that its unfortunate you cant understand him and kept to yourself.
And he handled it well by making light of the situation by saying if he speaks slowly, it would take all day. If you don't have a sense of humor, that doesn't mean he is humiliating you. If you can give your opinion in front of everyone, why can't he right ? And moreover he came to you later and asked if you were good and genuinely tried to reason himself without getting angry. But you were still saying that you were NOT GOOD, and you were humiliated. Come on Varun ! Its not good to be so self-centered and stiff all the time.
I am sure you had many good experiences in USA, so it was unnecessary of you to make a personal attack on him saying "He insulted me" in the title. Its fine if you talk about general lifestyle and culture which you don't like in USA. But please refrain from posting such personal attacks. Does it feel good to put such a title and then have your 375k subscribers supporting you and talking bad about Kevin ? (I can already see many people bashing Kevin).
I am only telling all this because I like your vlogs more than vlogger in India. Thats why I am just a little disappointed in you. Hope you can take my words in a positive way and try to understand. All the best.
Varun is totally right in calling him out...if one can't handle a polite request, then he\she doesn't deserve to be in the service industry
Heisenberg, totally agree with you. Genuine and correct understanding of the sitiation.
I think the tour guide even had a problem with Varun making the video and being loud while recording his commentary which actually is disturbing and distracting to others, one could easily make out that the family sitting alongside Varun were not feeling comfortable by his recording and all. But yes, the guide should hve not treated him like that, he should hve simply said he couldn't do anything abt it and felt sorry for it. And in any case so much bashing of Kevin from all was not required.
Correct
Ye ramayan likhne me aapko 100saal to lag hi gye honge?kyu?
It was not a personal tour. So I agree with you, Heisenberg. I am the bit disappointed with you Varun. Its NY and everybody talks like that. Given he came back to clarify I think you got more than what others get out of $30 odd tour. I remember being in China and if you expect the tour guide to slow down trust me you will be sitting at one place whole day. Peace!
that's why i love my country where i'm always respected

I don't understand why people are bashing him ? I myself live in Chicago and when you pay for any service you have a right to ask for adjustments. I know different people have different accents but you can speak a bit slowly without changing your accent. I myself don't have problem understanding English. But if I'm paying for a service and if I have any inconveniences I'll definitely ask for a change.
Even in America less than 70% people have English as their native language. Considering this was a tour bus for people coming around the world would you make jokes on that ?
When I first time landed in Chicago my taxi driver was Chinese and i didn't understand a single word he said what should i do in such situation? Respect Chinese culture and not understand what the man said ?? He wouldn't understand the address and at the end he asked for 20$ tip and refused to open my luggage trunk until I gave him 15$ finally.
Kevin is a looser ! You handled the situation quite nicely :)
Loser
Yup
the CZcams is the loser
This is one of my reasons to skip USA from my bucket list travel. Big 👎🏻 US and UK
Lolol... you're silly. America is a large and diverse country. Every single major American city has it own culture based on where you are inside that city. You won't visit a entire country based on one person's attitude inside said country? Jesus, guess I better skip every country too. I've seen videos of all different nationalities acting ignorant and rude... especially Norwegian, German, Russian, Brazilian, and Chinese.
So make sure to skip US, UK, China, Russia, Brazil, especially Norway, and some of the Middle East.
Thank god. We don’t need anymore soy boys that cry over everything here.

I live in California, USA. Brother, it was not racism, and I find you rude for asking him to slow down that is how he speaks. Also, for most of the people, we Indians talk at a fast pace. I have many Chinese friends their accents are thicker, sometimes you are not able to understand a single word they say. But you need to focus and understand how these people talk. You started it, and you got it back. In the end, also he approached you and tried to talk to you, but you were rude to him and not interested in solving the matter.

i totally agree with you. He approached Varun but the latter was rude to him. That's the way people in NY are.. Accept it bro :)
I understand this if it was a random event elsewer. But Varun is the customer now and yes he did request at first. Why is evry1 demanding more politness from him? tour guide got mad he expressed it by mocking him and varun just did by leaving so its alright.
@@priyagurav8424 Priya i understand this but think about it.. if its Haryana, conductor will behave in a particular way.. If its Delhi, he will in a different way.. and a completely different way in Goa..
In this video.. the place is NY and the people behave in a certain way there. There is no right and wrong in certain cases, like these.. That person wasn't rude.. He just said if he would be slow, he would miss some important points and landmarks (something like that).. Plus like Rohit said, he did approach him back but our guy was too offended.. If they had shook hands later on, the whole thing would have been the most memorable for this guy and even for the tour guide :)
You learn from events like this.. He wont learn if he is going to play the blame game.. He can only learn if he views it all again with an open mind :)
I am not saying i am right but this is what i feel :)
I feel like Kevin felt insulted when you asked him to be slow even though you say u were polite, i felt your tone to be not so polite, that too in front of all the people. This is the way he speaks and majority people on the tour were Americans who understand his accent. I am sorry you see this as a bad experience but you need to adjust. I'm sure Kevin wouldn't be so rude if he dint feel insulted by you in front of all those people.
Kevin is a guide, he should be very understanding of the different tourists he meets on daily basis. He is trained for such simple requests from tourists...he was very rude as a Guide.

Omgg.. it's second day when I've subscribed you and loving the content that you've put
People are saying he is asking him to change his language , requesting to speak a little slowly is not as asking someone to change their language , he could have simply denied as if he speaks slowly than places will be left behind , but it was no excuse to make fun of him and too in a goddamn service oriented business .
Its like waiter repeating the order too fast and he said I cannot slow down as other people are waiting .
Exactly.
Agreed
thats what a traveller have to deal with.....When you are travelling in so many countries meeting many peolple of different cultures, their will be difficulties of adjustment.....You have shown how we have to adjust these situation by not remaining quite.....You are a wonderful traveller....Again THANKS for Sharing your experience and knowledge.....i hope it will help us to groom up for the situations like this.
When in Rome…
What else would you expect from local tour guides? To adapt to every tourist’s ears? You’re in a developed nation that is very individualistic 😎. They won’t bend over backwards because you’re a tourist. It demands your acceptance and your adjustment to their ways, not their adjustment to yours. At the end of the day that chap works for money, he wouldn’t give two hoots about sentiments of showing his city to a tourist! This unfortunately is the bitter pill to swallow in every developed nation.
i think he was talking normal, i dont see what the problem was ,couldve been you who didnt know english enough ig
Had u heard all his speech?? Do u think u know enough english ?? Don't bark here.
Plus talking on phone or in this case to a camera is considered rude here in America when you are in public transportation.
So rude this varun
It's really amazing to watch you're vlogs I think you are the best tourist guide on CZcams the way you describe each things it's like I am also traveling with u
3:30 I will not gonna ride on that Big Bus or whatever, also can you complain this guy via email so that people won't have trouble next time Thanks!
Same here
Never riding that bus
it was so nice that he asked that where r u from Delhi, Mumbai,bengaluru 💓
Bengalore😍
Yup
Because people don't care in NY.
Don't say yep! Say yes please :) I know you are from India but in USA people strongly believes in Bhartiya Sanskar and Sanskruti, it means you will just have to mind your manners.
You can sure request him to speak slowly, (Sitting and yelling "Can you please speak slowly? I am not able to understand!" it bit aggressive by US standards) Just stand up and approach him gently with smile and speak slow and use phrases like "would you please" or "Sir is it possible for your to"
You sure can't force him to speak slowly, if he is not comfortable doing it he won''t. Some time you can argue and try to bully them but it can backfire. So just need to be careful.
Thing is ,he asked that to a TOURguide, not to an ordinary citizen. He paid for the tour, so he could ask that. The TOURguide should have had the maturity to know that tourists from other parts of the world may not have their ""STANDARDS OF MANNERISM"". Many a times tourists who come to india also laugh on indian accents and mannerisms. But indian tourguides never speak to them so irresponsibly or arrogantly.
Understand the point ,that he asked so from the TOURguide ,not an ordinary citizen. He paid for the service and he had the right to ask .
Furthermore, the TOURguide proceeded to mock him and insult him. That is not something expected from a tourguide for just asking to slow down his speech. It is imminent for the TOURguide to know that tourists from other parts of world may not even be accustomed to their accents ,forget in fast pace. On top of it to insult the tourist is a very unwelcoming act.
And grow a sense of self esteem instead of expecting an indian to act like a coward cow tow noob.
you are right bro agree with you.. but the guides should also understand they have to deal with certain people from different nationalities..if you go to arab or china you will not learn their basic etiquette.. similarly this guy have no idea how to speak with US citizen in their own way.. he is new and trying to figure out everything on his own..love his video
That's the British standard, not American...

Brother I love your tour vlogs. New Yorkers are bit in a rush, so they come off as arrogant or disrespectful. They are trained to feel, time is money so hurry up. Guide was loud spoken and his personality is such. He didn’t mean anything bad. He went into defensive mode when he was corrected in front of all customers. Maybe going close to him and requesting to him to lower the speed of speaking might have been better. There is history of Abuse to African Americans in past, so they tend to go on defensive or protection mode. I apologize on behalf of New York and Kevin. Thank you 🙏 for lovely vlog... I love how you mention pricing and details for other people traveling. Keep your vlogs coming... lovely ❤️
😋
You won my heart by your apology and I think your's is the most sensible comment on this vlog.👍
money isnt everything bro
As an Indian I have to disagree with you. I don't see anything overtly rude that the Bus operator did. It's this Indian vlogger who was cringe-worthy and threw a fit as most of Indians do. Thought he wasn't like the rest, but he ended up embarassing India and also the couple sitting right opposite to him. Have unsubscribed already.
@@ajsky1066 - No, that Kevin guy was rude and could have handled the situation better than he did. Getting defensive because someone asked them to talk slower isn't showing signs of a healthy mind. Maybe he is angry at anyone who corrects him, that could be a sign of narcissism. Taking tour busses is a waste of money, just buy a book and do your own tour. Save money and have fun!
Yes we have in Amritsar hop on hop off bus service
You acted so well in that situation, if someone insult me like this i would easily lose my temper
Hats off to your patience
He always plays safe..
The way you asked him to slow down ...I found that little rude...not your fault nor his...it's shear misunderstanding...trust me it's just the difference in communication styles....he felt offended just like you
Buddy his accent is a flavour of NYC and broadly of the African Americans, now I understand you requested him to be slow but come on don't you like Will Smith being brash with his accent we all love it, I like your tube and whenever have time do try to watch all of the upload but here my man you were being unreasonable and others should be chiding you instead of condoning your approach. Bottom line I like your approach to travel and how you conduct yourself in foreign countries that gives us a nice name.
@Inspiration By Kumar agree with you..
@Inspiration By Kumar aha .. don't you realize had it been a DTC bus or for that matter any bus service in India you would have already been heckled by the conductor/tour guide, now the guy is travelling foreign land you have got to absorb all the flavours and I think he did handle himself pretty well, it's only the complaining mentality of his, is what bothered me. Now understand this, had it been a white guy complaining about Kevin's accent or speed of speech he would have been profiled as racial discriminating specially with the Trump administration in the White House. Let's not jump to brute conclusion and say Kevin is the bad guy, chill drink some shikanji.
Yup. The correct approach if varun couldn't understand his speech, would be to hop-off and hop-on to the next bus..... no point complaining to him about his accent.
Also, varun was replying to all his comments, so varun could understand him well enough to know what was being said to him.
@@sabahulrasikh8844 Varun was aggrieved, the way Kevin mocked him. Varun has travelled so many countries met lakhs of people to know, how he should handle a situation and he has every right to react to an insult. We should respect his judgement on that.
Kevin should be deported.
this bus service is available in jabalpur, mp
Really? I have never seen it !
भाई आप के सारे वीडियो बहुत अच्छे है देखते देखते कब समय निकल जाता है पता ही नही चलता best of luck 👍👍👍
Completely agree with people who commented that it is your fault. If you thought you were polite, you need to learn a lot....The way you requested him to slow down sounded like you're entitled to everyone's service...Even to my Anglicised Indian ears, it didn't sound right....And then you went on to ask the Mexican what he'll do in Staten Island..... Extremely nosy and I could make out the look of bewilderment on his face...Stop throwing your weight around for heaven's sake! The tour guide here replied to you...Had this been in Paris, they wouldn't even bother noticing someone who has such bearings....I would have personally approached him, made friends and said something like..."hi, I believe I missed what you said about that building over there" ... then when he replied, I would say, "thanks buddy.....I'm trying to catch up with the accents, you know, but not quite there...." And then smiled in a friendly way....Instead of telling him how he ought to deliver his tour in front of other passengers. To the Mexican if I wanted to start a conversation, I would say..." Are you sightseeing like me by any chance or on business?" Again with a smile....Instead of bluntly asking why he's headed where he is.....Get your bearings man before blaming and throwing tantrums.
Yah the tour guide was being a jerk.
@@ankitmast2886 Agreed totally. Varun is the customer here.
oh yeah? what will you say on behalf of indians after having deserted India? dont try to teach so-called anglicized second hand manners to people who have taught you how to speak and write. deal with your homesickness and servility in your makeshift foreign habitat yourself.
@@prateekc9992 Stop bullshitting and like I said, get your manners right....Otherwise don't get out of India.
I'm here to spread peace im the next Jesus from Suburbia
The guide came back to you to ask if you were good. I believe he tried to diffuse the situation but maybe you were in a bad mood and it escalated. Besides, he did ask the others if they couldn’t understand him as well and if they agreed he would’ve slowed down. He didn’t intend to disrespect you. Just confusion of language and cultures.
Inspiration By Kumar he asked Varun to be a bit quiet because he felt his talking to the camera was a bit loud and distracting. Also that’s why I believe that the entire conversation should be uploaded. Did you even watch the entire video?
Dude guide is foreigners so company should hire people who are patience
i never thought us would be like this...it was my dream to go there since childhood
Bro so much peaceful it is to travel to central park
Literally I was feeling the vibe...that evening lights😘😘😘
My Mumbai has very few parks an I wish to have them to be this good
Your video is awesome and your way of representing is very nice . NYC is dream city of mine to live.
Keep making this videos and stay healthy 😊
Bhai tu bhi thodi thand rkhle
You are just overreacting
V2 You're right man. As you can see he was sitting alone and wasn't even in a group. So the guide's main priority is to look after the people who are in large group and he simply cannot fulfill the demand of only one person who is sitting alone. Tho m not saying the guide to is 100% clean, he was also looking for some heat. Idk why he was doing that but the guide was a bit disrespectful towards him or it maybe his humor, FYI newyorkers have a different kinda sense of humor. And also the vlogger doesn't have any chill. Its just a big misunderstanding between them that's it.
no
@
Sail Dean
this is how Afro American talk. They are loud and hard in their tone, but that is their normal way of speaking. If Varun would have just went on side and would have requested him in normal manner then it would have been a different story.
V2 yes well said bro
V2 Bro it's true All Western Hate Easteren specially India
Very beautiful video. Thanks for sharing
Varun Sir you are really good person. And you explained everything properly understood. I always watching your videos I feel I am going such lovely country in the beautiful world 🌎 thank you keep it up 👍 god bless 🎉🎉
Just a small perspective. It might come as rude but he was just doing his job. Asking someone to change the way one speak specially while he was guiding might get difficult. we have to adapt. I am just happy you are safe. Its not like in India that you will get into a verbal confrontation easily and get away with it.
Debopriya Choudhury his job is to please his customers. That's how he gets paid. If someone requests him to speak slower he could've politely refused but instead he started mocking him which is wrong
True .
Debopriya .. Didn't you see he mocked Varun ?... Kavin could have reacted in polite manner.. How can you defend his rude behaviour?
no debopriya its just that american black people are proud people and so are us. we have a lot of bad history. bit in this case its a normal thing. when americans go to india its the same. so nothing wrong about it. as a tourist you cant have all the best experieces. he has only been there for a month so k.
i understand your perspective and trust me when I moved to US initially it took me sometime to understand. At first you will feel thats its rude but trust me its just a casual speaking. I am just happy he is safe as hitchhiking in US can be difficult. take care.
There is a good and a bad way to do something Varun.
The way you handled yourself and requested him to talk slowly, if i was him I WOULD BE INSULTED TOO. Please bear in mind, asking/requesting people to do things the way you would in India (pitch, tone, construction of the sentence) IS is very different abroad...
that was rude TO the tour guide
I went to a package trip for 7 days starting from Newyork , New Jersey, Washington DC, naigara falls, Boston and two other city I can’t recall the names. This trip was with Chinese people and our guide was Chinese American . He was really good in managing 50 people . We travelled cities to cities in our bus and stayed at different hotels . It was really fun and covered a lot of places . your New York trip is reminding me of my trip . 🙂
Hi Shweta, could you share the no of the local tour operator? Thanks
You are a good person. Bro .. I really felt bad what Kevin did ..
All I want to thank you for this online tour
It's a great idea
what did Kevin do? I don't understand...I am sure none of you have minded if he were a blanched individual...that's the issue here!
@@sav3nad he did that . When he's feeling bad he mentioned it. Obviously he observed it . What Kevin did .. it's clearly seen
I saw the way he requested him to speak a little slowly. I have been requested by German or French tourists (who don't comprehend English well) to speak in slow English or German. I have never made fun of anyone. But I felt it was nice of the American to have come and asked him how he was feeling. Varun was also right in his place to feel humiliated. So I guess both were right in their own way. I am sure both are nice people. It's just the circumstances that we're in that make us appear rude.
So after humiliating someone you ask how you are feeling?
I guess they both misunderstood each other a little

Ya and he is only one whose channel is subscribed by me
Ya and he is only one for who I have made a CZcams account.
Ya because of him I have changed my name to mountain trekker
Oh Bhai u made his day man ..wow
Yep same here I love to see his vedios
I have faced the same humiliation in italy when i wad travelling from venice to naples by bus...i never expected italian bus drivers can be so rude....basically they have a problm with asian people..and that is true
What is the reason for this?
Kevin is not rude , having lived there it’s just nyc way of life !!
Valid point. It's not just him, it's the city
Varun, boss this is not done. At times you are very childish and irritating. The guy at the bus wasn't rude. This is how a normal American speaks. Were you expecting special treatment, since you are a celebrated vloger, He He He. By the way, many in the bust must be irritated by your unsolicited commentary.
Exactly. When in Rome. Just cause you paid for a tour doesn't mean he's going to hand-feed you throughout the tour.
VIKAS SHARMA C VILAS - all New Yorkers don't behave like this guy kevin.
He wasn't complaining about the speed. He just requested Kevin to slow his speed but the way Kevin humiliated him was wrong. He could have politely declined to speak slowly.
if there were any german or french video tapin that loud, you wouldnt say it that way. varun just requested, he doesnt know this accent. put yourself in his shoe and answer yourself. he asked him to slow down, to understand what kevin was saying.
The way he was asking the black dude is very typical of an Indian feeling that he is entitled, and i'm from Asia and this is how these people are. Some don't but the majority do, just because he paid for the ride. i have never been to the states and i'm educated with the British system of education in Asia, and grew up with Asian customs and traditions. Even i could comprehend what that black dude was saying and if you can see later, the black dude came over and tried to speak nicely, but from the Indian guys reaction and body language, he really expected the black dude to follow his demands to the T.
When in Rome...get the picture Indian dude, and Kevin was only giving you a taste of American humor, that's all.
Quite honestly you are making a recording when someone is giving a speaking tour? Now I believe you were the rude one. That is most disrespectful.
i think you don't know what travel vloggers do.
True youtuber ..showing real content

Varunji you are too god by nature. I have seen your numbers of VDO. You are great and be polite as you are always. Best of luck for your next VDO. Jai Hind Jai Bharat.
A lot of thanks for visiting us in free of cost through the social media.
Love u big bro.
Big touristic cities, like London, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam has this Hop on and off Bus services. Many of the guides don't care much about tourists riding in the buses. They just guide you about the city with the pace of the running bus, and of course they will have their local English accent. Most of the tourist do not complain about how they speak! They just look around the sights to see and understand some things! I have taken Hop on hop off buses in Paris, Rome and London. It did not bother me if I did not understand some things or the other. I paid for the bus and enjoyed the views.
Its happen with me in Singapore 😊💖 but others are gold heart peaples who guide me very well 💞💕 love from India
Awesome explination thank you for vedio
not everyone good....this is life 😊

Welcome to Azerbaijan Baku 🇦🇿🤗 Bro
When i watch your world i can feel your lovely nature
Awesome video on New York I loved it
Yes he was rude...Some people say he wasn't rude but he was rude before
I stayed in NYC for ~2 years, feel nostalgic when you show the bits and pieces of famous landmarks of the city. Now I live in South Korea. Please, visit South Korea, you will experience one of the safest and most respectful culture.
Hi5 i live in south korea too
IT WAS GOOD OF YOU TO GIVE THE GUIDE BACK. Aise logon se aise hi baat ki jaati hai. Yeh log apne aap ko bahut smart samajhte hai.I hope you have given him a negative feedback, so he will be advised by his seniors to be more courteous to tourists.
In India, I think only Mumbai has hop-on and hop-off service.
Even my Visakhapatnam have this hop on hop off bus service. I just felt relaxed watching you relaxing in central park.😊
#Vizag !! Love Yea !!!
Hi love to see new york inspired me to have park in my city....where only cycle & pedestal allowed so environment remain clean
if u join, u will get one of this..
@@SH-np9qd u have to pay 159 Rs per month to get this .
He been through a lot forgive him..,😁😂😂😂
And then he is from new York 😁😂😂
Through what?
Care to elaborate?
@@romamalik7238 NO😆
8.15 min mein jo batchit oh jindagi jine ka asli tarika hi hai... Thanq .. thanq again
2:55 if your looking for actual story ...
He was rude because he thought you were being rude to the way he has been doing his job all these days months years or whatever... The man was rude for sure but the situation could have been averted if you had made him understand that you respect his job and you were only curious to not miss anything what he had to say ....but it looks like its just one of those days that just happens for all the wrong reasons.
Mountain Trekker's Punch line : THANKS A LOT 😂
In new York you can't expect to get good hospitality like Russia
