| Touring with the King of New York (Steve) is like traveling with an old friend who is showing you around his hometown. You travel on a small bus so your tour group is quite small (no larger than 26 people I believe).
Steve shows you the real New York and tells you the history of that lovely city. This isn't one of those generic tours where you're craning your neck trying to see the site the tour guide is describing as your bus passes it, and where you're herded on and off the bus at the tourist stops.
While in New York in August of 2006, we also took the NYC Party Tour, and it was one of those hectic drive past as many sites as possible tours. We didn't bother with the Hop on and Hop Off tour based on the bored looks we noticed on the faces of that tour's passengers.
If you are interested in learning about New York City as well as seeing the sites, then I recommed that you take the Marvelous Manhattan Tour with the King of New York. He costs a little more, but the extra expense is well worth it. |

| This was our first time in New York and the Royal Tour was ideal we saw all the main attractions with 15 mins to look around on each event plus take photos there is so much to see in New York you can not do it all on your first trip so this tour was amazing Stephen had a wealth of knowledge so helpful with a very happy personality and the people we met on the tour bus were so nice, we also stopped for 45 mins for lunch at Katz restaurant which was really great don't order to much food the portions were so big. I can thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone young or old you will have a fabulous time. Thank you so much

| We chose to do this tour on the first day, so that as we were driving around and being told different things, we thought we could make a note or two, and find our own way back there later on.
Steve our tour guide, was excellent and really knew his stuff, and was very informative. He made it come alive.
We did go back to Greenwich Village and Little Italy to eat and found it very easy to get around, but wouldn't of known about it, if we had not gone on the tour with Steve.
Highly recommend the tour you learn a lot and see a lot!

| The Royal Bus Tour is a must for visitors to New York. My party of six family members thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the tour and were unanimous in the view that there cannot be any better tour leader than Steve who is just brilliant.
Full of interesting facts,bucket loads of humour and how does he manage to remember everyones names.

| I really enjoyed our tour with Steve. He had a lot of good information about the area and buildings. I only wish that we would have had more photo opportunities. It was hard to take photo from the van that was moving.
I have recommended this tour to my neighbor that will be visiting New York the week of Monday March 19. |

| A WEALTH OF INFORMATION AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND WAS SHARED BY THE TOUR DIRECTOR ON ALL LAND MARKS AND PLACES OF INTEREST. THIS TOUR WAS REFERRED TO ME BY A FRIEND WHO HAS USED THEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND SHE RECOMMENDED IT HIGHLY.
THE TOUR VAN WAS VERY CLEAN AND SEATS CONFORTABLE |

| In all the years of travel, this is by far the best tour we have been on. By limiting the number of people and using a small bus, the tour is very personalized. Steve quickly got to know the name of every person on the bus. His knowledge of NYC is truly excellent and there no questions which could stump him. We took the all-day tour which I would highly recommend. It covers all parts of Manhattan and Harlem. Very, very interesting and entertaining. Overall, highly recommended. |
