| On this tour we saw everything we wanted and so much more! The route is very well thought out with just the right amount of opportunities to get out and step foot. We learned a lot - all the facts and the little insider secrets. |

| Steve was great at presenting an introduction to New York that prepares you for the rest of your stay. We intentionally took the tour on the first day so that we could paln teh rest of our stay and it sure did help alot. We were able to revisit some places in more detail and also go to others that Steve mentioned that were interesting. He kept everyone interested and had a great conversation, not just a monologue so that every one felt a part of the trip. I would highly recommend this tour and would even take it again the next time that I and in New York. |

| I am a New Yorker who booked Marvelous Manhattan Tours to show an old friend from Eugene, Oregon my city, for her first time visit. Steve was a superb guide who provided in depth information about New York City and with every question expanded easily and conversationally in detail, sometimes including his own perspective where appropriate. He was wholly present, (engaged each participant by name), helpful, personable and involved in the most entertaining manner. We had sort of wondered whether we could stand 6 1/2 hours on a bus but it was the most wonderful and informational experience. I will most certainly do this again should the occasion present itself. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough for those who want more than a superficial experience. |

| The tour was great! Definitely worth every penny. We got to see so much of the city-it was amazing. It was a great learning experience for myself and my 9 year old son, also. |

| I was traveling with two teenage grandchildren and they loved the tour. I think this says volumes. Covered a great deal of territory, the tour guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable. A day well spent. |

| This was my first time to NYC and I wanted something all-inclusive, yet entertaining. Well, this tour is all that and more! Steve, tour guide, has got to be one of the most knowledgable, funny guides I've ever encountered. I would recommend this with more than 5 stars! Lisa Zim, LA, Ca. |

| This is the third time I have taken this tour and I have recommended it to several others who have also taken it. The guide is very knowledgeable and helpful. There is the right amount of entertainment value but it doesn't take away from the learning experience.
When the tour is finished you feel as though you have seen the city and understand it.
I recommend starting your trip with the tour as it helps you understand distances and points of interest you wish to revisit for more time. |

| I would recommend this tour of NYC. The tour group is small, the tour is an excellent introduction to many important NYC sites, and the tour guide does an excellent job. |

| Steve provided us with so much information and we got to see quite a few sights. This tour is great because it is small and very personal, Steve even remebered all of our names. The highlight of the trip was definitely the stop at Katz's, if you go try the pastrami on rye. I highly recommend this tour, I will take it again next time I visit NYC with friends & family. |

| What I enjoyed the most about the tour was the insight that was imparted. Most tours are - here's a building, when it was built, and it's this big. This tour was for example, the Empire State building was built in 1931, 102 floors - what you'd expect to hear from a tour guide. The interesting facts, seldom heard, are that it took only a little over a year to construct for they used 3000 men and paid them less than typical because it was the depression and all needed work. |
