| As this is was our first visit to New York and having read other's reviews, we decided to treat ourselves to this tour. I'm so glad we did. We opted for a Sunday morning and chose right - unusually for New York the streets were virtually empty and our guide managed to show us a few extra sights as were not caught up in traffic.
The car is great and onlookers seem to like it too - a few people even took our photo!
Our chauffeur was informative and we managed to see Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, the financial district, SoHo, Tribeca and then drove over the Brooklyn Bridge to get some great photos of the Manhatten skyline from Brooklyn.
If your feeling indulgent and like us, only had a short time in the city, then I would most definitely recommend this tour - it is our most treasured memory of our holiday. |

| 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! |

| 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 took my teenage nieces on this trip. We all had a great time despite the weather. Issac was very sweet , knowledgable, and lots of fun. I will book another trip next time I am in town and will recommend it enthusiastically to anyone visiting NY.

| The tour is an experience we will always remember. It was my third time in NY and this was far better than any tour I've been on. It was my girlfriends first time in NY and she hasn't stopped talking about it since we got back. Good times! Isaac was informative, funny, a great story teller and gave us the opportunity to shoot some great pictures. We felt like movie stars in the car. Oh and thank you for the pizza tip!!

| 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 had the best time on our tour! It was informative and helped us get a better perspective on the various regions of town. Isaac was extremely personable and insightful. The only thing is I wish we had a "route map" so that we could have marked some of the fabulous places we'd like to have revisited. We saw so many things and heard so much information that at the end of the day it kind of ran together. As a "visual learner" I should have at least had my tourist map out taking notes.
I would most highly recommend the tour for those who are a bit overwhelmed by the Times Square scene and are more interested in how "real people" live in NYC. |
