This was a wonderful tour. Not only did we get a great history lesson but we got a good feel for NYC/Manhattan & how to get around as well as what to see! Our driver & tour guide were wonderful & funny! I'm so glad I decided on this tour! Well worth the $$!

Very Informative

The owner of the tour company had taken the day off, and our substitute was a teacher and radio talk show host. He has a radio show every Monday talking about New York history and culture. He is also an accredited teacher and theaches history to other teachers. The depth of his knowledge was very impressive, and he tried to share as much of it as he could during the tour. At times, the information he was giving us was a bit overwhelming. I must say he was well prepared. He brought two large canvas briefcases with him full of facts and pictures. We stopped at Madison Square Park, the Crysler Building, Financial Center (Ground Zero) and Katz for lunch. All nice locations. We drove through virually every area on Manhattan Island. The thing I came away with from this tour is that we have a lot of history here in our own country. I have spent a fair amount of time in London, and was always impressed with thier history, After this tour, I am pround to say ours is just as rich and varied as anyones! Recommend if you are a history buff. Owner is said to be more of an entertainer, but I was happy with the guide we had. I doubt you would find anybody with his qualifications on a Gray Line bus tour.

Manhattan Tour
Sat, Jun 14, 08   9:00 AM Busymom Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We enjoyed our tour for the most part. I was suffering from jet lag, but we really got to see all the important sights in downtown Manhattan. It was a lot to see in one day. Our tour guide, "Steve" kept things interesting and lively. He moved us along at a fast pace. I would have liked to see Ellis Island up closer. The weather was nice up until about 3:30 or so. Then the rain came. Our tour guide more or less told us to get out in the rain. We walked about four blocks to our hotel in the rain. We knew the driver would not return us to the hotel, but we didn't really know where we were, at first. Then the guide, "Steve" said, "What are you waiting for? The rain to stop?" and that was the way he dumped us off the bus. By that time we were all tired, but he could have been more polite to tourists.

the tour was the best ever. It was knowledgable and our tour guide Steve was well informed and he was an excellent tour guide. I wished that we had taken the tour in the beginning of vacation instead of the end so much to see we would have liked to go back over some of the interesting points that Steve pointed out. We stopped to take pictures and we were given enough time to reflect everything that Steve was telling us. I would give the tour a five star.

Our guide, from Oxford,PA, was enthuiastic, well informed, energetic, and friendly. He'd make a great teacher. Our driver was a good guy too. A COMFORTABLE WAY TO TOUR A GREAT CITY.

This is an excellent tour in all aspects. In fact, this is the third time that I have been on the tour. The last two times, I brought family and friends with me.

Great way to acquaint yourself with NYC

Terrific tour... was not let down from what I read in the prior reviews. Very enthusiastic and knowledeable guide. I learned a lot about the city, it's history, etc. The visit to Sardi's was great... we ended up having cocktails and appetizers the next day before the show as he recommended, and it was wonderful. We found ourselves quoting all the history and trivia we learned about during the tour with our friends over the following few days. I definitely recommend the tour.
