| Isaac does a fantastic job of covering hidden spots of New York. We were very impressed with his knowledge of New York City and its history. I would truly recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to see real New York because you will truly leave this city with a great memory. | ||||||

Best of Brooklyn - Eating out the traditional way

| We really enjoyed our day in Brooklyn, seeing and tasting our way round the parts of New York not usually visited by tourists. It was good that we were in a small group (6) as we bonded quite quickly and were able to visit the various small eateries without overwhelming the establishments themselves. I particularly liked the Torres chocolate shop and the kinishes and the chollent and the cuban panini was amazing. It was good to be informed by a native New Yorker who really knew his stuff and weaved the MPV adeptly through the streets. We felt completely relaxed and comfortable the whole time we were with him. After we made our Brooklyn trip ,our son came to join us in New York for two days on his way back to the UK from San Francisco and we enthusiastically told him about all that we had seen - he was so impressed that he hired a bicycle and toured Brooklyn on his own and saw some of the sights that we saw - though of course he didnt have the beneffit of our lovely tour guide or taste the food. The sights, the sounds and tastes have left a favourable lasting impression. If I am lucky enough to return to New York in the near future I will definitely take another Zerve trip. | ||||||

| We had my two college daughters AND elderly mother. Guide Sam and driver Shariff went out of their way to meet our special needs, adjusting the walking portion as necessary with pleasant and fun attitude. Sam was awesome, completely prepared with history and interesting facts. This gave us a great intro to the city. Since we did it on the first day, they also answered questions and gave advice about our plans for the week. Wonderful. | ||||||

Exciting and fun introduction to the city

| I purchased this tour for my sister-in-law, her two teenaged daughters, and my three teenaged daughters. My SIL and I have been to New York numerous times, but it was a first-time trip for our girls. We had show tickets and other outings planned, but we really wanted to start out the trip with a bang, and this tour was just the ticket. We kept it as a surprise for the girls. We wanted them to be wowed with some of the "glitz" factor of the city. Having a gleaming white limousine pull up in front of our hotel on Saturday morning to take us for a private three-hour overview of the city made for some excited, giggling teens. Our tour guide, Sam, was personable, informative, and friendly. He was also (my thirteen-year old informed me afterwards) "a hottie." He seemed very proud of his city and not only told us myriad facts about the history and culture, but pointed out some neat shopping places which the girls hit with credit cards blazing the next day. He was a terrific tour guide and I recommend him whole-heartedly. The limo was very clean and the driver was uniformed. We all felt very "uptown." Although the limo will pick you up and drop you at your hotel, when our tour was over, we requested to be dropped in Chinatown for some shopping, and Sam was happy to do that. I only have one complaint about the tour, and that is why this rating is four stars and not five. Our driver conducted some kind of business on his cell phone for the entire tour. Whatever business he was conducting seemed much more interesting and important to him than we were. We all noticed, and it did detract from the "glamour" of the experience. The driver is supposed to open the limo doors, help you in and out of the limo, and pick you up when you make a stop and walk for a few minutes to see some attraction, like the view across to Ellis Island, or the Irish Hunger Memorial. But our driver talked on his cell phone during the entire tour, even if he did open the door -- that phone was glued to his ear. Several times he did not exit the limo when we did, and once he failed to meet us at a rendezvous point at the WTC Ground Zero for about ten minutes. I think that when one pays that much for someone's time for three hours, that their mind should be on their job, not on their own personal business. Our tour guide, Sam, was very attentive and made us feel very special. The driver, whose name escapes me, made us feel as though we were intruding on his private time. If my daughters had not been with us, I would have said something to him about it. But other than that one blot, the experience was first-rate, and I highly recommend it, especially if your children have never been in a chauffeured limousine before. | ||||||

A unique and special tour of New York City

| 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". | ||||||

Quintessential New York

| This tour was the highlight of our stay in New York. They were a great company to communicate with while in New York and their service was outstanding. They were flexible and professional. The car was so much fun. In fact we became the tourist attraction for New Yorkers - nothing subtle about this big red convertible! People would wave and check out the car as we drove around. The tour itself was a great introduction to the different areas of New York. We received lots of information that was personal and interesting. It was a memorable and fabulous tour where we felt like rock stars. A big red convertible, blue skies, the Brooklyn bridge....this is what we talk about when describe New York. The photos are great. It was worth every cent. A far cry from the morning's gospel tour and display of mass and crass tourism! Thanks Isaac - next time we would love to do Brooklyn with you.

| 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. | ||||||

| There were just 5 of us for the tour )possibly because it was Labour Day) so we had our own personalised tour with Isaac who friendly and knowledgeable. Because our group was small we got a very personalised service and this made it all the more enjoyable. It picked up on time, offered a friendly and personal view of Brooklyn and its varied cultures. The tour was informative, the food tasty and filling and there were some great photo ops and views of Manhattan from across the river. It was a great way to spend half a day in NYC and dropped us back in Manhattan at the end so we could carry on exploring and shopping. All in all great value and I would definitely recommend it. | ||||||

| There were only the three of us.....husband, wife and sister of husband. Isaac furnished his own car, and we were able to take advantage of some of the off-the-beaten path sights such as Cony Island. Very enjoyable, and we have already referred this activity to people from the West Coast that love New York as much as we do. Needless to say, we did not eat dinner that night with all of the wonderful snacks along the route. | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| Oh-My-Gosh! There were 4 ladies from South Georgia enjoying New York City. This was our first tour. We had the wonderful experience to see New York both during the afternoon and twilight hours in the open-air of a red convertible. It was breath-taking and our guide, Isaac, was even more awesome. Thanks for such a delightful time, great information and caring about over New York experience. We will return and definitely see you again. Your "Old-new, South Georgia Friends" | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||
