| We all highly appreciated this tour, our 17 year old son as much as we. The driver was pleasant and very knowledgeable, and showed us interesting sights plus a few "secret" places. The day was sunny but cold and windy, we survived thanks to the blankets supplied, but recommend warm clothing. This was on a Sunday morning, which seemed perfect from a traffic point-of-view. A fortnight after coming back to Geneva, we can say this memory stands out as a highlight of our holidays. |

| Isaac is fantastic! A true New Yorker with terrific knowledge and a great tour guide style. The car is a real head-turner too, which is saying something in NYC. This isn't an introductory tour - this is for seeing the sights that everyone else will miss. Imagine your cool cousin lives in NY and offers to take you around in a great car - that is the experience. I would definitely recommend for those not really into large groups or herd mentaility. If you prefer something a little different, take this tour. A convertible makes a huge difference in a city like this. It is the best way to appreciate manhattan and brooklyn for that matter. You see some history, exceptional vantage points and learn lots of factoids along the way.
Live a little; it will be one of the highlights of your trip to NYC. |

| We took the tour and Isaac was very knowledgeable, friendly and informative. The only negative thing I would say is that the classic car should be better maintained as far as the interior (white leather was dirty) tires etc ., to really show off its beauty. A little wax goes a long way....The cake was a very nice treat and we enjoyed the tour. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed driving around lower Manhattan with a very experienced, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable guide. This is a great way to assimilate quickly the various neighbourhoods and would provide many ideas of what to do during the rest of your trip if you booked it as one of the first outings of your visit. We did it as the very last thing, but it has left us with a thirst to return and spend more time in some of the places we saw. |

| I booked the tour as a surprise for my boyfriend, and it was definitely worth it! We live in New York City, but wanted to learn more about the culture and history behind it. Our tour of downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn lasted for about 2 hours, and we enjoyed ourselves in the convertible and nice weather. The tour guide we had, Isaac, was as funny as he was informative. He was eager to teach us all he knew, and carried on a conversation with us throughout the tour. People were constantly checking out the car as we were checking out the sights. The things we learned in the tour were unique and interesting, and we took some fun pictures along the way. It was a memorable experience and we definitely recommend it to our family and friends, as well as anyone who is thinking about taking the tour. |

| 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. |

| This trip was by far the best part of our trip to New York City. Isaac was so knowledgeable and fun during the tour that we felt like we were with an old friend. The tour route made us love New York City much more than our preconceived thoughts of just Manhattan. We never felt rushed, we always felt safe and it was by far the highlight of our trip. So much better than a Limo with a ceiling!! How else do you expect to look up at the buildings? It was fabulous. |

| We chose to do our tour on our first night. Although we were a bit tired touring around in the convertible the first night gave us a great feel for the city and gave us our bearings. Going across to Brooklyn at night was something we really wanted to do so we could see the skyline all lit up. Being driven across the Brooklyn Bridge in a convertible is definitely the way to do it!
Our guide was fantastic and gave us some really great tips on restaurants and bars in Greenwich.
If you sick of the usual tourist buses and tours this is an excellent alternative. |

| The experience was truely unforgettable - many thanks to Isaac - his indepth knowledge of the city added to the day. It was great to see the part of New York outside Manhatten, with Issac adding to the day with his whitty comments.
Highly recommended - we plan to revisit New York again next year and will definately book this trip again. |
