| My 22 year old niece and I took the Jeep Tour on our first night to NYC. Isaac was our guide and was very friendly, knowledgable and funny! We had a blast! I would highly recommend this tour, and will even do it again when we return the next time! Especially a good thing to do at the beginning of your trip, so you learn your way around! Thanks Isaac!!! |

| My sister and I had a wonderful trip. We took the ride in the jeep to visit all the sights in Manhattan and some in Brooklyn. Our tour guide was fabulous. I cannot say enough about him. Very educated and well versed in guiding us each step of the way. He attended to our every whim and I truely wish to thank him for a wonderful day out! It was superb!
I'll do another with him on the Brooklyn dine around and bring more friends.
Thank you so very much.

| It was a hot and steamy evening in NYC....we started our adventure at the New Museum and on cue our "chariot" arrived. A spiffy, new, pull back the roof, ever so cool, green jeep. Of course my girls (age 15 and 19) jumped right in and Isaac started our tour of NYC (below 34th) and Brooklyn. Isaac kept us totally entertained: with interesting facts about the neighborhoods, installation art in Madison Square Park, notable architecture, local attractions (like the building used for the opening shot of Friends), a little history of NYC and he pointed out a few of his favorite places to eat. All the while, Isaac never was stuck in traffic...we seem to glide through the city.
On to Brooklyn....we arrived at our destination just in time to catch some fireworks (not planned but a pleasant surprise)........and we got out of the jeep to enjoy a beautiful view of the NY skyline.
Whisking us back to the city....we ended the evening with the best gelato from Grom.
We had a great time and it was a wonderful way to start off our vacation. Often when I visit the city, all I ever see is the traffic when I traverse from one end of the city to the other. With the Jeep tour, Isaac was able to show us parts of NYC that I had never seen.....quiet off the beaten path. It was easy to understand why Isaac and so many other people that live in NY love it so much.
We had so much fun...I would highly reccommend this adventure. |

| Myself and 3 gal friends from Seattle decided on the Jeep Tour to start our NYC vacation as an overview, get an idea of where we'd then explore deeper in areas of our interest on our own as the week progressed. I really can't say enough of how Isaac was such a wonderful tour guide, took time to let us out at various points of interest to take pictures and really knew the areas and history. It was a 2 hour tour but he extended it a bit and went out of his way to show us the 'sites'. The jeep was roomy, clean and since it was a nice day, we had the top off, which was fun. He was a great driver, an eloquent and clear speaker and kept it interesting and entertaining, answered all our questions and had great recommendations for the rest of our trip. He's a sincerely nice guy who obviously loves his job and does it exceedingly well (and I've traveled the globe and gone on more tours than you can imagine), well worth the cost of admission! I'd do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to all. Made our vacation! A+ |

| I know, sounds dumb. But the intimacy of this tour and the fact that an enthusiastic guide (we had Isaac) is showing you the city he loves makes you feel special. Smarmy because, if you take this tour and then another you feel a bit more like a local and can scoff at the other silly tourists. Even though you are one too!
Seriously though, I did my homework for 6 months before I took this trip. I must have 25 different books regarding New York city. I subscribe to several New York magazines, watch every show I can concerning New York and I had only hope this tour would be as good as many had said it was. It did not disappoint. You will see parts of the city I can Guarantee you would not otherwise see. No matter how prepared you feel you are (me) for not being a tourist while in New York city. The price was extremely reasonable. Yes I spent countless ( ask my son) hours on the internet regarding pricing and what you get.
This tour was truly amazing. Isaac is awesome and his enthusiasm and knowledge only further my desire to move here (which my son and I would love to do). The Jeep was a great too, good visibility for picture taking and very comfortable. |

| I highly recommend this tour and especially our guide, Isaac. Our group consisted of myself, my sister and my 18-yr old niece for her first trip to New York. It rained for most of our trip and New York FunTours, along with Isaac, did everything they could to accommodate the weather situation. My niece hasn't stopped talking about how much she enjoyed the tour and learning about the city from Isaac. |

| I saac was a great tour guide. He was was very informative It would have been nice to have incorporated some more kid friendly things into the tour as my daughter who was 8 did fall asleep. But for adults it was awesome! Loved the Brooklyn view of New York, could have skipped the irish potato farm memorial. Would have like to see more of World trade center, Chelsea area, and meatpacking district, seaport more, and even into some of the other buroughs including harlem. Very informative ! |

| We were truly blown away by the entire experience. Issac, our driver, was so thouroughly entertaining and knowledgeable our time flew by. By blending his grasp of history and local lore and hot spots, we were able to plan the remainder of our trip around his recommendations. We are convinced as a group best money spent and we are firm believers that Issac should venture into the standup comedy arena. We would buy those tickets as well!! Thank you so much for the fun and taking us around the city to all of the cool weird places we would have never seen on our own. Happy New Years guys!! |
