| 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.

| I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. On the day that our tour was booked for there was a threat of a thunder storm and we were called two days prior to tour to reschedule, this gave us plenty time to make other arrangements for that day. When the tour did take place we had a fantastic time. The car is great and Isaac was very well informed and very pleasant. The tour lasts for approximately two hours but the time just flew by and before we knew it we were back at the start. Isaac stopped at various points and we were able to take photographs. So please do not hesitate - make a booking. We will certainly go back to New York and book another tour. |

| I wanted to find a unique way to see NYC at night and I found it. My husband, daughter (15) and I enjoyed riding around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn in a classic car with the top down. You felt like a celebrity and the car gets all the looks. Isaac was wonderful. He called to let us know that he was running a little late, so that we weren’t concerned. He was so knowledgeable about the city and very accommodating. He was the best. Highly recommend this tour. |

| This tour was the best way to celebrate my boyfriend's 20th birthday with him. He is a big fan of cars and I thought, after seeing the tour ad online, that it would be a really fun and different way to enjoy some time together. We both live a train ride away from NY but have never been able to see the city and appreciate its history the way we did this past weekend on the tour with Isaac. He was a great guide, very interesting, and knew soOoOo much about the city. He even let us out a few times to take pictures and spend time enjoying the experience up close together. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Every aspect of it was PERFECT and very relaxing. My boyfriend and I haven't stopped talking about it since. I highly recommend spending 2 hours of your life with someone you care about on this tour. |

| So glad we found this site as it gave us the opportunity to see a different side of New York at night.
We really appreciated the chance of being able to stop and take photos at some of New York's less known views & attractions.
We'll always remember being a movie "extra" on Brooklyn Bridge and the "unique" aromas and sounds of Chinatown (Remember the garbage truck Isaac???)
(Both of these an unexpected but still fun addition to the tour!!)
Thanks Isaac for making our son's 21st birthday and our first visit to New York so special
****A Highly Recommended & Informative tour**** |

| Even though the rain showed itself to be a contender, it didn't dampen the tour we had. Top up or down we got a thorough and personalized tour. I would highly recommend this to ANYONE who wants to know intricate details about the city. Thanks for a great time! |

| 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!!!

| Having a ride with a classic convertible car in NYC was really an unforgetable experience. I strongly recommend it especially if you have limited time in the city. Even if you have more than 2-3 days to spend, it is still a very good option because it gives you a sound idea how the districts of the city looks like, which will be very usefull for your future planning. Also I want to take this oportunity to thank our guide, Isaac for making this short trip so special for us. |

| This was a really unique way to see the sights. What could be more fun that being driven around in a classic convertible? I brought my 17 year old niece to NYC for her first visit, and we were not interested in the traditional (usually boring!) bus tours, so we tried this. It was wonderful! Our driver, Isaac, who is originally from Brooklyn, was informative and very accommodating. He included extra stops for our specific interests, and we never felt rushed. From MacDougal Street to the Brooklyn Bridge, through Ground Zero, etc., he never missed a beat. Also we felt really important because everyone stared at us in our fancy car! Great fun! Don't miss it! |

The convertible tour of New York was one of the highlights of our holiday. From the ease of booking, the phonecalls to our room advising us of weather issues, the convenient meeting place to the content of the tour made it a very special experience. However, to make it even better, the knowledge, experience and manner of our driver, Issac, was outstanding. From the moment he picked us up to the moment he left us he was friendly and full of interesting information which gave us a great insight into the history of New York and it's inhabitants.
We would like to extend our thanks to Issac and FunTours of New York for a truly excellent package and would recommend ANYONE to do this. It was so much more personal than sitting on a crowded bus!
Thank You
