| Great info, entertaining guide, A few inaccuracies in the web description and the actual tour...was 9-3:30, not till 5...which was ok as we were just about hitting overload. No Grand Central due to city problem...but no visit to Columbia University area or Grants Tomb which would have been of interest to this visitor. Pleased overall by my young adult daughter as well as myself. |

| My family and I enjoyed this tour very much and would recommend it to anyone who would like to know the history of New York city told by an enthusiastic guide named Steve. You'll learn a lot about the great city of New York and also find out some fun facts along the way. Steve is a very good storyteller and you can tell how proud he is of his beloved city. We're glad we went on this tour because it's worth it. We felt we now know the city much better than before we went on this tour. Thank you, Steve. By the way, Katz deli's pastrami is the best we've ever had! |

| This truly was a marvelous tour. Steve had a fun personality and quickly learned everyone's names. He is facing the group the whole time so it is easy to understand everything he says and you are free to ask questions. It is not like a tour where they are talking into a microphone and you can't understand anything that is said. It is a great way to see New York if you are there for a short time and to get a brief history lesson also. I would highly recommend the tour. The only negatives I saw were that we did not see Grant's Tomb, The Apollo or the Seinfeld Restaurant like the website said we would. This may have been because Steve said we were running slightly behind. I did not realize this until after the tour but I do not feel like we were "jipped" because the rest of
the tour was so good. |

| OUr guide Stephen was very informative. I felt I learned about the city and did not just see it. My only criticism is that our guide, Stephen, was a little too editorial in some of his comments about changes in the city and the effects of 9/11. We had some traffic delays and I think he thought he needed to talk. When he stuck with the facts and the stories of the past, he was excellent and enjoyable.

| It was a great 6 hour tour. Just 7 people in our group with a guide who happened to be the owner of the company Stephen Duer.
I was born and lived most of my life in a city of 5 million. I do not like guided tours. But I was so glad that we went for this tour. It was an exelent way to get an overviw of all parts of Manhatten. And the tour stopped for a lunch at Katz’s deli. A lot of great information and vews. It seemed to be an "authentic" not as “touristy” way to see New York. The view was a bit personal, but that was very balanced with information and facts and that made the tour even more interesting.
I highly recommend the tour.
Have the company's phone number with you or provide your cell phone number when buy your tickets for the guide to be able to contact you. The bus arrived 15 min late at the meeting point because the guide was waiting for someone at a hotel stop. We were able to call to confirm that we were waiting at the right place. |

| This is a very comprehensive tour. It is the best way to get an overview of Manhatten. |
