| 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! |

| 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.

| 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!! |

| 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. |

| 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

| 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. |

| If its ur first time in New York I would really recommended the limo tour. Its a great way to see the sights and brings you to places you may not think of going to. Well worth the money ! |
