| Our driver and tour guide were excellent. I have been to Manhattan several times but I learned and saw things on this tour that I had no idea about. Our driver Eddie navigated during bad weather and traffic and got us there on time. Our tour guide, Joe was excellent! Great service, great time, great tour!!! |

| 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. |

| 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'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. |

| This is absolutely a great way to see New York! You feel like a film star, as you are certainly the centre of attention in the limo - every time it stops, people gawp to see who gets out... really!
The places you get to see on the tour are interesting and a nice mixture of the regular sites and the lesser known ones. There is a good mixture of walking and driving, so you don't feel too lazy.
One thing I hadn't realiized from the brochure is that there is a driver and a guide - they are not one and the same, which of course is great. Isaac is an enthusiastic and entertaining guide - a real New Yorker! Seeing NY from the eyes of someone who lives there is very special.
My tour party was interesting as we were a mixture of very young and old people, and the old ones did not speak English! Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed the tour, although I would humbly offer 2 suggestions that would have improved it: 1) to establish whether people at a slower pace want to see everything or less things at a more relaxed pace; 2) for the tour guide to leave pauses between the sentences or the main points to allow people to translate.
So, what else can I say? Go for it and enjoy! |

| 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.

| If you're a group of first timers in NYC or even if you've been on guided tours of the city before, you'll enjoy this for a full morning or afternoon out. My group did!
We were a group of ten friends (aged 38 - 48). Some of us had been to NYC before and some of us had been guided before. Our guide rang us before hand to establish a tailor made itinerary and this worked well.
The car, guide and driver were all prompt and well presented. The driver and guide were friendly and helpful.
We were in and out of the car quite a lot which suited us but might not suit everyone. We walked a street or two in several neighbourhoods and found some places we loved which we would never have found on our own.
All in all, very worthwhile, very informative, very good value for money. It was also great to be picked up at your hotel and dropped back off, in our case, in our new favourite neighbourhood. |

| Don't be put off by the price - if you have a party of up to 10 people, consider the individual cost and compare it with the cost of the usual bus tours. Throw in your personal guide - and our guide, Isaac, was very helpful and informative - and the luxury and unique thrill of your personal limo, and you have a great way of exploring New York at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. |

| Yeah, absoutely fantastic. My family and I (from Carballo (La Coruna) and Albox (Almeria), Spain) enjoyed every second of the tour. The people at New York Fun Tours was so kind and helpful that really made a difference. The limousine trip was great of course, but we all expected that. It was the way people treated us and how well they had everything organized that really made us feel comfortable and satisfied with the experience. We requested a Spanish translation package and that was also a success for all non-English speakers in the group. Thanks very much to the teams at New York Fun Tours and Zerve.com. Gracias.
