Excellent tour of New York

| We booked our tour in advance of arriving in New York, through looking on the New York internet sites. We kept it as a surprise from our two girls aged 23 and 16, and surprised they were, as were we! We were picked up from our hotel in a lovely limo by a very couteous driver (we can't remember his name) and were accompanied soon after by our personal tour guide, Isaac. He was a truely excellent guide, witty, funny, very knowledgeable of New York and a native of the region (which helps a good deal). He mapped out a really good itinerary for us, and included in it the two area we really wanted to see, Ground Zero and the Brooklyn Bridge. He took us to many other places, which we would certainly not have seen on our own, and which were very interesting and he gave us some useful background on their importance. Having your own personal tour guide on a one to one is excellent, and Isaac was always ready to answer any questions we had, as well as to impart his own local knowledge on the areas we visited. All in all the experience was very pleasurable and we would highly recommend this trip to anyone who has never been to New York before. We would also recommend taking the tour early on in your holiday, as we did, to take full advantage of the remaining time you have, to revisit areas of particular interest which were covered in the tour. Finally, we would like to say a big thankyou to Isaac and to our driver for a truly memorable experience of New York. Thankyou from Kevin, Chris, Anna and Lucy. | ||||||

| We felt that although issac was very knowledgeable and friendly,the experience as a whole was hugley dissapointing and certainley not worth the £190 pound it has cost us.As we were first time visitors to new york and therfore not familiar with the district,we would not have booked a tour that was on the doorstep of the hotel virtually and felt that a little information perhaps from yourselves after our booking would of been welcome, letting us know of the proximity of the tour to were we were staying etc,we would certainly of changed it to something a little further afield if possible.Also as the city traffic is so busy the two hours goes very quickly . and it is quite difficult to see much from inside the jeep ,so again it really was for ourselves a poor and expensive choice,one I would not recommend to anyone else. | ||||||

| THIS WAS MY DAUGHTERS AND MY FIRST TRIP TO NEW YORK. I DECIDED TO BOOK THIS TOUR TO GET AQUAINTED WITH THE CITY ON OUR FIRST FULL DAY THERE. OUR TOUR GUIDE, ISSAC WAS GREAT! HE TOOK US OFF THE BEATEN PATH TO SEE AS MUCH OF NEW YORK AS WE COULD IN THREE HOURS TIME. HAD I NOT BEEN ON THE TOUR I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HALF OF THE PLACES WE VISITED. IT REALLY WAS AWESOME. THE TOUR IS A BIT PRICEY BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE HAD TIME TO TAKE SOME OF THE OTHER TOURS THAT ARE OFFERED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR FOR NEWCOMERS AND THOSE WHO PERHAPS WOULD LIKE TO SEE NEW YORK IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. I DEFINITELY WILL USE THE SERVICE AGAIN! | ||||||

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We ventured into areas of Brooklyn that we were not familiar with. The local restaurants that we tried were fabulous and well worth another visit. | ||||||

| Tour guide was very knowledgeable about obscure but current NY things to do. Seeing NY from Brooklyn, the IRish hunger memorial and other locales would not have been obvious to visitors so it was a welcome change from "Normal" NY activities. | ||||||

| My group thoroughly enjoyed our Brooklyn tour lead by Issac. I am from New York (born and raised in Brooklyn) but have resided in Florida the last 13 years. The remainder of my group consisted of infrequent visitors to NYC who had never been to Brooklyn. First, I should commend the staff for altering the start time of our tour to accomodate our schedule and even checking up on us with a phone message to make sure our plane arrived timely. Our tour ended up being a private one in a brand new JEEP, both of which were pleasant surprises. Issac is a gracious and knowledgeable guide and knows much about the neighborhoods we visited. The food locations and choices were enjoyed by all. The bonus of starting on the lower east side with a stop at Yonah Schimmel's (the 1st knish store) was great. The variety of the neighborhoods and foods truly help one understand the melting pot nature of New York. We highly recommend the tour and the company. | ||||||

| A great tour given by a local who knows and loves his city. Issac was wonderful, and gave us a unique view of lower Manhattan most people miss out on. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting New York, even those who think they know the city well. Looking forward to taking other tours from you next time we are in New York. Thank you!!! | ||||||

| 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.

Great way to get a taste of Brooklyn

| 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. | ||||||

Great insight in some Brooklyn neighbourhoods

| My girlfriend and I (it wasn't a date as much as a joint activity) thoroughly enjoyed this tour, which turned out to be a private event, as no-one else had registered. Isaac is a very knowledgeable and down-to-earth guy, who had a lot of interesting things to tell about New York City in general and Brooklyn in particular. The tour proved to be a very good sampler and we will definitely come back to the neighbourhoods we visited for more (in particular Williamsburg and Dumbo). Combining the trip with food is a great way of bringing it all to life and providing some insights into 'normal life' in the areas visited. We'd certainly recommend this tour. Joachim | ||||||

| We were vacationing as a family of 5 with some young children in NY for 8 days and included this as part of a well researched intinerary and were very pleased. Our guide and driver were punctual, pleasant , well presented and well informed. The tour was superb and afforded our family the opportunity to fashion a tailor-made ininerary. I would be pleased to recommend this tour to others in a similar position. dave (Ireland) | ||||||
