| Our group consisted of three adults and one child. Would definitely recommend to others visiting New York. Tour was Very interesting and informative and made even more interesting by our tour guide. Being able to visit some of the sites on foot made the day even more enjoyable. |

| I have traveled extensively and this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. I have been to NY before but the person I was with had never been here. This was a very comprehensive tour of Manhattan and left us feeling like we really "knew" the city. The tour guide, Steve, was exceptional. He had a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge of Manhattan. I thought that maybe the tour would be too long but it flew by and left me wanting more! Not only would I recommend this tour to others, I would be happy to take it again when I return to New York with my husband. |

| It was a bitterly cold day and there were 10 of us on the Tour from different parts of USA and UK . Steve made it clear from outset he wished the day to be interactive and it really was . Steve was a cross between a teacher and a stand up comic and because of this the group gelled immediately . We wre able to learn things and see things we would never have seen on our own and being such an intimate small group everything was personalised .
I would not hesitate in recommending this tour to anyone ( individual,pairs or groups) it has set the Standards that I will judge all other Tours by .
p.s. Just make sure Steve doesn't lock the van keys inside the van . |

| This was a fantastic start to our stay in New York; we would highly recommend it especially to anyone visiting NY for the first time, as we were. We saw so much in the time and were able to decide which places to revisit in the limited time we had. Steve was an excellent, humorous and very enthusiastic guide - a great ambassador for the city. We loved every minute of the tour - it really lived up to our expectations and was very good value for money. Fond memories from the folk from the "Fatherland" - as Steve kept calling us!! |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We weren't sure if we would be up to 6 hours of riding around in a bus, but the tour was so interesting, so fun and educational, that we were disappointed when the tour did end. (All good things must come to an end!)
Steve took the time to get to know each of us, and by the end of the tour, we felt we were good friends. He is very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and takes great pride in this great city. We are from Texas, and are certainly proud of our great state, but after this tour, we were a little jealous! We wished we had the great history that New York City has!
We received a recommendation from a friend who took this tour, and we are so glad she referred us! Marvelous Manhattan Tours is beyond marvelous - it is superb!!

| I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM OF OUR TOUR LEADER STEVE. IMMEDIATELY HE EXPRESSED A SINCERE INTEREST IN ALL OF US AND OUR NAMES AND ORIGINS. THIS TOUR IS AN AWESOME OVERVIEW OF THIS ELECTRIC CITY. WE WERE INTRODUCED TO SO MANY ASPECTS OF NEW YORK CITY, FROM THE INFAMOUS SUCH AS LADY LIBERTY AND THE TWIN TOWERS MEMORIAL, TO THE ART MUSEUMS AND THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE SUCH AS CAST IRON COLUMNS. WE WERE SHOWN THE HIDDEN NEW YORK CITY SUCH AS THE FAMOUS PEOPLES' HOMES, THE WONDERFUL DELI KATZS, AND THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF TOWN, INCLUDING THE ALMOST EXTINCT MEAT PACKING DISTRICT. I LEANED MORE IN OUR ALL DAY TOUR THAN I EVER WOULD ON MY OWN STUDYING AND SAW SO MUCH MORE THAN POSSIBLE USING OUR OWN RESOURCES.STEVE NOT ONLY REVEALED TO US FACTS , HE BROUGHT THE HISTORY OF NYC ALIVE WITH STORIES AND VIVIDLY PAINTED MENTAL PICTURES. I WILL RETURN TO NYC AND I WILL RETURN TO THIS AWESOME TOUR. |

| We have been to New York City before and never took a real tour. This tour was well worth it in every aspect of it. We would all (thats the whole family) highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Apple.

| 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. |

| This was my third time to take this tour. I recommend it to everyone going to NYC. Since this was my daughter's first trip to NYC, we took the tour. It is a small group that allows for interaction between the tourists and the tour guide. We got great info that helped us understand the area better and enhanced the whole trip. It is planned with your comfort in mind and covers the best points of Manhattan. It is lengthy but worth the time spent. |
