| This tour was recommended by someone who had taken it in the past. I was skeptical at first, thinking of how much of NYC I could see from a van just driving around and five hours seemed like a long tour. But I was pleasantly surprised of the amount of things we saw and how much information was shared about the city. I can truly say I was disappointed when it was over....I wanted more!
Steve was great. In addition to the knowledge and history of the city, he also shared with us his personal experiences and view of the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. |

| Our guide, Steve, demonstrated a level of knowledge about the city that must be second to none. His enthusiasm for the subject and his efforts to involve our party in the tour made the day very special.
Thanks Steve, you certainly made our day.

| From beginning to end, the most entertaining and informative tour of Manhattan.
Steve answered all questions with knowledge, humor and professionalism. I would take it again just to enjoy a tour of NY and not have to navigate, cab or subway to so many fun and interesting sites. Please keep up the excellent tour. A great value for the price. |

| I took my 12 year old grand daughter on this tour and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was fun being with Steve and the others in the small group. In the past, I have taken tours of New York City and this was , without a doubt, the best.
I liked the choices and Steve's comments and personal thoughts.
I highly recommend this tour and its humorous and informative leader.

| I searched diligently for a tour before my first visit to NYC in mid June. On this web site, I read a single sparse negative comment which I negated given the hundreds of positive ones, so I booked this tour knowing that even with a forecast of inclement weather it would be comfortable.
It was over and above and beyond what I could have anticipated and hoped for. It was the highlight of my first and short visit to NYC!
Steve is “The Whole Package Tour Guide” - skill, knowledge, ability, insight, patience, perception, energy, personality, professional, answers to questions, and tips and recommendations … all of this in abundance! Steve added so much more ie: tid bits of information and trivia and facts that were so interesting that I wanted to be sure to remember - so I took notes!!!!
Our group, with a fairly wide age spread, interacted easily and quickly with Steve's lead and there was at least one individual onboard that was referred by another repeat customer.
I can’t imagine a hop on / hop off nor a double decker tour listening to a commercial narration through a microphone after having taken this tour.
A Suggestion: Steve …. if you were to simply tape yourself on a few of your tours, you would have the makings to print a booklet full of information and fun and good to know facts that reflect your personality and knowledge that your guests would be happy to purchase at the end of the tour as a souvenir. Best Wishes for continued success!

| This was a tour recommended by friends. It was an enjoyable experience but expensive. Worth considering alternative tours that appear similar for far less money (about $60). Perhaps we were unlucky as there were only 8 of us on the day and two of them were not booked on the full day trip and consequently left at midday. Avoid Mondays as first stop of the day is closed.
On a positive note the Guide/Driver was a nice guy and immensely knowledgable - an encyclopaedia of information.
Glad we did the trip as it was our first visit to NY.
New York is just amazing! |

| Steve was an abolsolute delight! Very informative, with statistics about things I wouldn't have thought to ask, but was so interesting. I'll bet I know more now about NYC than most people that live there. His love of the city just radiates. I wish more people would be able to know about this wonderful experience. Please do more advertising, I will spread the word myself. P. S. Please have Steve contact me, regarding some networking with my sister New York hotels. |

| We enjoyed the tour and felt that the items included were excellent. You covered a great deal in the day. We also very much enjoyed lunch at Katz.
We felt that there was too much political view given and we felt uncomfortable. As international visitors, you suggested that we would not necessarily see things the same as the Americans and that may be so, but it would be nice to not be singled out when we don't even know anybody else in the group. We realize that Ground Zero will bring discussion, but as the tour guide we feel that you should be impartial and not let your own opinions come forward |

| Fantastic tour guide - excellent knowledge and a brilliant communicator. He definitely added to our enjoyment of the tour.
A perfect itinerary. We were only in NY for three days so couldn't possibly see everything. This tour gave us a flavour of Manhatten and enabled us to plan the rest of our stay. As Londoners we felt we had a real flavour of NY.
I have recommended this tour to everyone I know. Our stay in NY would definitely not have been as fantastic. |
