| I cannot express splendor of this New York sightseeing enough because can't talk English well,I am a Japanese.
January 26 was a very cold day, but Isacc is gentlemanly and informed carefully.
I and my wife are satisfied very much.
It will be to become the memory that is important for us.
I and my wife give thanks in the way of your wonderful Job.
Thank you.

| The Tour Guide was great, and very knowledgeable. He took photos and emailed us the photos within days after the tour.
The Limo Driver was very talented, especially driving in NYC
The limo was very clean and comfortable.
It was a nice tour because we got to see things that a normal congested bus tour doesn't give you.
They arrived on time and the tour guide recommend a great pizza place for after the tour.

| Booked this tour for five of us for my Mum's 60th birthday, and it was amazing!! The limo and tour guide were very prompt, Laurie our tour guide was amazing!! Full of interesting info and was willing to tailor the tour to our requirements. We wanted to see the sites as a couple of our group have never been to the big apple before! I requested to go to the Friends apartments and it wasnt a problem at all, Laurie showed us loads more interesting stuff in the area. We totally felt like we saw everything we wanted to and it was tons of fun. Would definately recommend this tour to anyone! Great fun!! |

| I definitely liked the guide, Sam, but the driver was rude, unfriendly, late, and didn't listen to the guide. In addition, nine is too many for the limo. Seven was better. Also, we needed a bathroom stop where we could be faster...It took forever for the nine of us to use the "one holer"...It was cold and rainy and cramped in the limo...We would have liked for there to be champagne at the beginning...We definitely felt that we would not recommend this trip...It would have been helpful to have some "skylights" in the limo to see...The windows were fogged the whole time and we had to manually wipe them off. The temp took forever to kick in and we froze then were too hot...I sound "complainy" but I spent a fortune for this and felt that it was subpar...I will be coming in November with a group and wanted to do this, but now will not bother...It sounded good but was a huge disappointment. We really liked the guide, Sam...he was the one bright spot in the day...He was knowledgable, friendly, and courteous. Thanks, SAM! |

| We've seen places of interest that we want to see. Not the traditional tourist places which you see in the hop-on/hop-off tours. You can put your tour together as you wisch. The Guide "Laurie" was friendly and very skilled. Next time we visit N.Y. we'll certainly make this tour again. Our driver was also very skilled and friendly. Sorry I don't know his name anymore. |

| My husband and I, along with our three kids (21, 20 and 13), booked a custom/hybrid tour of Manhattan and Brooklyn, hosted by Isaac, with Max the limo driver. What a great day. We saw parts of the city we would never dreamed of exploring otherwise. Isaac directed Max where to go. He got out of the car with us to explore, while the driver drove around and waited for us, making the otherwise impossible obstacle of parking a non-issue. Highlights of the tour included St. Pat's Cathedral, the flatiron building, Greenwich Village, Ground Zero, veiwed from the Winter Garden, DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass), which is an ideal area to view both the Manhattan bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as the Manhattan skyline. We had Knishes, pickled herring, rugelach, and Nathan's hotdogs. We also ate at a great little Polish place in Brooklyn, and some good chocolates at a little shop in DUMBO. We drove through Chinatown and Little Italy, also. Isaac was funny, irreverant and a totally cool dude. He had the perfect personality for a job like his, as it seemed we were on a tour with a friend we'd known all our lives. We came away happy, well-informed and stuffed. This tour is not one of the typical tours offered by Fun Tours. It was a sort of hybrid of the three hour private Manhattan limo tour and the Brooklyn food tour, which is typically done with a group. It was great having Isaac all to ourselves, and he said they may consider adding this tour to their regular line-up. Although it was pretty pricey, having taken up 6 hours of limosine, driver and tour-guide time, it was well worth it for a very enjoyable, relaxed and memorable day. |

| Take my advice and book this tour. When the limo pulled up (exactly on time) to pick my family up at the hotel, I could tell by the kids faces and grandma's that this was going to be one good time. The kids ( I have to admit I did too) felt like celebrities!! Eddy, was our driver and Sam, was our tour guide who sat in the back with us. The next time we are in NYC we are going to book 6 hours instead of 3. Sam was so informative and made sure we were comfortable and had refreshments for us. Isaac, (he is the boss) take good care of Eddy and Sam, they both are gems and make the difference between an OK tour and a FABULOUS one!!!!!! Eddy thanks for staying with grandma while we were out looking around with Sam. |

| 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! |
