| As first time visitors to Manhattan with a limited number of days to spend there, we took this highly recommended tour. Our tour guide was energetic, humorous and was very thorough in explaining what to expect and a brief history of each experience. We saw and learned about more sights and fun Manhattan insider stuff in 6 1/2 hours than we could have in 3 days. |

Very informative

| My husband and I chose this tour based on other reviews and because we prefer a smaller group - we were not disappointed. Steve provided us with a lot of information (as well as laughs) about Manhattan and we saw places we would not have seen otherwise. I would absolutely recommend this over a large group tour.

| We went on our full day tour the second day of our vacation in NYC and it turned out to be the key to the enjoyment of the entire trip! Steven, the tour owner and operator, does a fantastic job of showing the major sights in uptown, midtown, and downtown. He also provided fascinating historical facts associated with the sights-- NOT just "look at the Empire State Building" but history associated with its construction during the Depression, etc.
Steven's tour earned our highest rating! Don't miss it. |

| First and foremost I did two tours - one was the Festival of Lights (I would highly recommend it to visitors at Xmas time - it was awesome) and the other was the half day Royal Bus Tour. Before I describe the experience, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for "adding" the extra Festival of Lights Tour on Dec 27th so that I was able to experience the event. It was awesome and our tour guide, Steve, was extremely entertaining.
What I liked most about the Royal Tour (half day) was that a variety of places are highlighted such that as a first time visitor to New York City gave me an idea of places that I might like to revisit and in fact I did revisit some of them. Had I been with another adult (rather than an 18 year old), I would have done the full day tour. What made the tour so great was our guide - he really was knowledgeable and entertaining.
BUT, you must tell him that he blew one thing! We left the tour early to go into the Mercantile Building to watch the stock exchange in action. We left the tour early because where we were going we had seen the evening before on the Festival of Lights (so it wasn't necessary to see it twice). However, we were not allowed to go into the Mercantile Building - you have to somehow get special permission in advance to do it.
I love NYC and I will be back - and I will do another tour with you! |

| The Marvelous Manhattan Tour was highly recommended by a Salt Lake City friend, specifiying Steven as a tour guide. My husband, daughter and I took the Royal Tour our first day in NYC. Steven was excellent. At the end of the day we all felt we had a good knowledge of the City. |

| The tour was great. This is the second time I have taken this tour. Stephen is very knowlegable and enthusiastic, however he got a little off on his policital views at one point and one of the participants had to get him back on track. |

| We were first time visitors to New York City and feel we received a fabulous overview of the city from Stephen Duer, our tour guide. Stephen is exceptionally knowledgeable of New York City and enthusiastically shared this with us. We arrived with no concept of New York and left knowing uptown from downtown, the fashion district from wall street, soho from greenwich village, Manhattan from the Bronx, and how all this fits together. It was a great tour. Well done, Stephen. |

| Stephen provides the best insider's tour of New York City with his understanding and knowledge of the city, its dwellers and their unique lifestyles. His pride and interest in the history, politics, current events and the New York experience permeates his enthusiastic guidance through the multiple highlights of NYC. What a pleasant and enlightening glimpse of the Big Apple! |

| This was my favorite city tour ever - and even better that it occurred in New York City, one of my favorite cities. I have been to NYC several times, but now I have a better feel for all of Manhattan. I recommend the full day tour. |
