| Issac was very interesting and informed. He knows the area well. He also recommended restaurants that were good. On the tour, we celebrated my birthday by eating cupcakes under the Brooklyn Bridge. Issac was caring and called later to see how we were doing. (Tell Issac we met Murphy at the U.S. Open and we mentioned the "Fun Tours" that Murphy took.) Thanks again for an informative and fun afternoon.

| I booked the red Chevy convertible tour as a surprise 40th bday gift to my husband. We both LOVED it! We were staying in the city for 4 nights and took the tour on our first night there. It was a great way to see the city and learn some history about the various neighborhoods, while simultaneously traveling in a fantastic vehicle. We got many comments and whistles from passersby, adding to the fun ambience. Our driver was Isaac. He was wonderful - personable, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible.
We loved the fact that he knew the back routes and lesser known (ie non-touristy) eating and drinking establishments.
By the time we finished our tour, we felt we'd made a new friend in Isaac. We would wholeheartedly recommend this particular tour to anyone looking for a unique approach to a "city tour". |

| We did a Sunday morning tour with Isaac and had the best time ever! It already started with the call from New York Fun Tours early in the morning to provide some final details such as the name and cell phone number of our driver. When we indicated that we were planning on having breakfast at the Cornelia Street Cafe, they were kind enough to inform us that the cafe would not open until 10, so that we had to find another place for breakfast. At their recommendation we went to Grey's Dog Coffee, which provided a very good start of the day. After breakfast, we met Isaac for our tour. The weather was amazing: blue skies, lots of sun, but a bit chilly (end of November....). A perfect day for cruising New York in a red oldtimer convertible! Isaac is a very experienced tour guide with a great sense of humor! He really knows a lot about the city, its buildings and its people. Two in our group were first time visitors and one was a local, but all of us learned a lot! I would definitely recommend this tour to both tourists and locals. There is no better way to see the city than from the back of an oldimer convertible! Great value for money and an unforgettable experience! |

| We were met on time by the chauffeur, Isaac, who came armed with ice cold bottles of water and a sunny smile! He was very welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic about his city and told us all about it in a relaxed and comfortable manner. HIs knowledge was considerable and he was able to answer all our questions. There was hardly a moment when he wasn't telling us something about the city and its sights. He also knew all the best vantage points and stopped to give us time to take photographs.It was certainly an education and the two and a half hours the trip took flew by all too quickly. All in all, a throughly enjoyable experience - without doubt the highlight of our four days in NYC and we can recommend this to any visitor to the city without hesitation. |

| Bought this tour as a gift for family member and wife. They loved the unusual experience. Vintage auto was immaculate, tour excellent. Took in places you could never track down without local knowledge.
Isaac, the chaufeur/guide, highly commended for bringing cup cakes as a birthday treat and making the tour unforgetable!
Great no hassle booking with Zerve. |

| 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! |

| We were really impressed with the fact that having booked once and had to cancel because of illness, we were offerred another trip which we were able to take. Isaac proved to be a very thoughtful host. He was extremely knowledgeable about the districts we we went through, and he took us through many! He was a great conversationalist. We would reccomend this tour with Isaac unreservedly. |

| Fisrt-timers in New York and we couldn't have had a better introduction. The car is fantastic and drew admiring glances everywhere we went as well as lots of comments from other drivers.
Isaac, our guide, was knowledgable, friendly and patient when answering questions he must get asked daily.
The places he took us avoided Uptown and Midtown Manhattan and we realised this is still a group of small neighbourhoods, each with their own distinct personailty. The sights and atmosphere were truly amazing. If you don't know New York, this is THE tour. We loved it. Thanks.

| We booked the open top bus tour for two days and used that to get around the city. We did the entire bus loop approx. three times. Your tour covered a lot of the same stuff. Because your driver was a local, he was knowledgeable, more so than any other tour guide. I know time is an issue, but you should try to cover different things. ( the Irish countryside is a good example). It was fun and I would recommend this.
