| My husband and I booked this tour in advance for our trip to NY. I was very disappointed that we were going to have to spend our first in depth view of NY in the rain, but you have to go with the flow. The usual tour had to be somewhat adjusted because of the weather.
Stephen was very entertaining, interesting, and knowledgeable. Unlike the other tours that I researched, the bus is small which limits the size of the group. The small group allows interaction among the participants so not only are you getting to see NYC, but you get to hear about countries from all over.
The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about was Katz Deli. I understand that the deli is considered an institution, but it just didn't impress me. Stopping for lunch where there are several quick places to eat might be a better idea so that people could choose what they like. I think that there were other places close by (they were not discussed), but with the weather being what it was, it didn't seem to be a good idea to venture out.
All in all, I would recommend this tour. The chosen route provides a great overview of the city and all of its distinct districts. My advice would be to take the tour on day one or two of your trip so that you have time to go back and see any of the places mentioned in more depth. |

| 1. The guide was very animated, friendly and knowledgable (but did have a bit of an angry sulk when a couple of people were a bit late back to the bus - in fact he ignored them as they got on).
2. Tour was a very good introduction for New York novices like us.
3. The Katz Deli needs to be taken off the itinerary. The food was horrible, the place was scruffy and the prices extortionate. The guide made us feel obiged to have lunch there, and why anyone needs that much meat in a sandwich is completely beyond me! A horrible experience.
Kind regards |

| We highly recommend the Marvelous Manhattan Tour with Steve. Great 'first day' activity if you're spending a few days in Manhattan. Not only was his humor enjoyable, he gave good info about the history of many of the sights. He also taught us about the different boroughs and how the grid is layed out for Manhattan so we could navigate the island with more ease if we planned to venture out again on our own. |

| 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. |

| We liked the knowledge of the tour guide We fell for the cost of this tour there should have been more time spent on walking various ares of the city getting the feel of the areas.. When we talk to friends who have taken other tours we feel they recieved more value. We would not recommend this to anyone under the age of 80. |

| This tour was awesome because the guide knew his stuff on what he was talking about. He also kept it funny and he catered to everyone's age differences. I would take this tour again and I would reccommend it to my other family and friends. |
