| I booked this tour as a surprise for my mother on our recent trip to New York. It was her first time in New York and my 8th so I wanted to find something that would interest us both, and this really did. My mother's face as she rounded the corner to see the car we would be travelling in was priceless. And Isaac deserves huge praise for being the perfect host, showing us sights that we would otherwise have missed.
I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone wanting something a little bit more personal than many other tours on offer ... and it's a great feeling cruising around Greenwich Village and SoHo and watching the heads turn to look at the beautiful car!
Only tip - if you are planning to do this tour during the autumn months, it can get chilly in the car, so take a hat! |

| This is the best way to see NYC as far as were concerned. My husband & I spent 4-days in town recently and booked the "red convertible". The tour was just awesome and so was the tour guide Issac. He gave us some interesting historical facts about Lower Manhatten and surrounding area. He accomodated us as we wanted and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. He stopped and gave us breaks and let us take great pictures. He even remembered my birthday and brought along a treat. We could have never seen this much on our own. The ride across Brooklyn Bridge was exciting and everything thing was just the best. Issac was very professional, fun and informative. Hudson River views were great. We ended up in the West Village and had lunch at a neat little cafe. We did not want to leave-- it was a great way to see NYC. I highly recommend it for couples of any age, family or friends. |

| We were disappointed when our tour was postponed by a week due to unseasonably wet weather. However, when we did take the tour it was a fabulously sunny day and we had one of the best experiences we have ever had! You feel really special driving with the top down and the car gets a brilliant reaction. We have seen a lot in New York having visited before; but Isaac, the driver, showed us a couple of places we never even knew existed (The Irish Hunger Memorial and Battery Park City) - both well worth a look. These were the highlights of the trip for us as they were so unexpected. We also enjoyed the trip over the Brooklyn Bridge and the tour around Brooklyn Heights. This is a nice touch. This is highly recommended if you want a tour of Lower Manhattan in style!! It's certainly the most original tour available. |

| We felt as if we could slow down, speed up or stop and get out. Isaac knew so
many facts and figures, took us down back streets and genuinely wanted us to
have a great time. This was a surprise for my boyfriend and he was delighted.
We have told many people about our experience.
Thank you |

| We thought this was a great worthwhile tour. During our time in NY we travelled on all modes of transportation - helicopter/subway/cab/boat. Because this was unique it drew attention from people on the street and was a great way to see the city. We were lucky enough to be collected from our hotel in midtown which is not the preferable collection point due to traffic however we believe that it is key to take a tour through the central area where you can then fully experience the whole NY scene.
Highly recommended. |

| Really enjoyed the day, the tour was very informative, the guide was very pleasant, and knew New York like the back of his hand.
The only down side was that we had to get a cab to the other end of Manhattan, maybe it would be a good ideal to collect customers from their hotel.
Ideal way though to see New York, something different which will always stay in your mind.
Many thanks for the experince!!!

| A PRIVATE TOUR is the only way to see NEW YORK. It was a wonderful
way to see Lower Manhattan...My husband, Twelve Year old son, and I enjoyed being driven around in this eye-turning CLASSIC RED CONVERTIBLE with the top down!
Our driver Isaac was a TRUE New Yorker and showed us many things we would have missed... (things off the beaten pass, also recommended restaurants ). Isaac was friendly and knowledgeable with neat interesting facts and history about New York. Bill at Fun Tours was also accommodating...this is the only tour company that I found that works with you and your schedule...They scheduled a Friday early evening tour for me, even though it was not available. They also worked with me to push the time back a bit so it did not interfere with other plans we had made after the fact. Zerve's booking agents were also very helpful in my reschedule.
Arturos Pizzaria in Greenwich Village for Coal Oven Pizza is a must...Isaac even dropped us off after our tour so we could have dinner! |

| My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour we had around NYC with Isaac, who was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were only in town for the one day, but with the tour we really felt we'd crammed a lot into 2 hours and seen many highlights of the city. Very highly recommended. |

| As a surprise i booked the Convertible tour for my family during our whistle stop tour of NYC.It was husbands and daughters birthdays. It was a great way to see the real new york( mainly the lower soho greenwhich china town, little italy etc and over to brooklyn) we would never have had got the information from a guide book, that Issac our guide gave us. Issac was a fantastic guide . He was very informative in a casual way so not to make us scared to ask questions.Funny too both the kids really enjoyed it (16/15)He even bought two great cup cakes to celebrate the birthdays- gorg! The car was fab and there was plently of opportuntunies to take lots of photos. I would highly recommend this tour, i could not think of any reason why you would not enjoy it!!.
The only thing to bear in mind the weather as we approach autumn/winter may not be always suitable. We had a great sunny day.
Thanks Issac we may see you again! |
