| Our group was very impressed with our tour guide, not only for his knowledge about the areas and various building, but also the history and the little side notes that really tell a story. |

| Isaac was our guide. He took me, my 81 year old mother and her 80 year old husband all over Manhattan in a shiny green, sporty, immaculate jeep to celebrate their birthdays. We had a ball. He took down the top so we had a panoramic view of everything he described. Isaac is friendly, easygoing, knowledgeable, flexible (sensitive to the fact that the folks couldn't get out and walk very far) and enthusiastic. He arrived on time and treated us like we were family. We had fun because he had fun. He knew all the history, gossip, and local folk lore. Dropped us off at a fabulous little Italian restaurant in the Village. We learned, we laughed, and we were so glad that we started our visit to the Big Apple with Isaac. Thank you!! We would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend this tour! |

| The lower Manhattan tour was great. We were able to visit neighboorhoods and sites that our group would never have found on our own. Our guide Isaac was the best! |

| We took the 3 hr. tour of all of NYC with Issiac as part of our 50th celebration of our anniversary with our three children & their spouses. We live in Austin, TX & have celebrated other anniversaries here. The tour was great and Issiac was very informative: historically & currently. Our favorite places we visited with him were the building next to the 9/11 Recovery Center (which we had not visited before) and the seaport village where we could see the three bridges at night and the area close to The River City Cafe where we could look back at NYC's skyline at night. Since our son-in-law is Irish, we were glad to visit the Irish village, also. The weather was 8 degrees & the wind was blowing madly that night & he took us into a coffee house to get hot drinks. Issiac & the limo greeted us in front of our hotel which was a great convenience! Thanks, NY Fun Tours! |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| Our group included a teenage boy and adults ranging from late 20's up to nearly 80. The tour held everyone's interest; Sam was terrific, very knowlegable and extremely friendly. Most of us have spent quite a bit of time in NYC, yet we saw and learned things that were new. Sam, thanks for showing us the Irish Hunger Memorial - we had no idea and it was one of our favorite stops! I highly recommend NY Fun Tours and Zerve. I teach customer service skills, and I will use these companies as an example of how to do it right! |

| We've been welcomed by a guide.
This person is in love with New York, full of great advices, very enthousiastic.
The visit of new york, with some walks in Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, over the Brooklin bridge was a dream come true.
The guide, i don't remember his name, was an actor. We spent an amazing moment with him.
Thanks for all Fun Tours, great time

| 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. |

| Issac did a great job showing us some of the sights of Manhattan
and Brooklyn - while still fitting in our specific sights of interest. |
