| We chose to do the Royal Tour and learned so much more about the City than we ever knew we needed to know! It was extremely informative, interesting, and puts things in perspective. Stephen is a walking history book and his love for the City shines! His buses are so much nicer and more comfortable than are the other over-crowded tour buses. We appreciated getting to see so many things we would not have been able to do ourselves since we had only a few days there. This is a great intro to the City; then you can choose to go back for longer visits at each of your favorite places since there's not enough time on the tour to stop at each place. It's also extremely courteous that we were called by our names all day. My family and I highly recommend this tour. |

| There were four of us in our group, We had a great time. The King of New york was the best. I had been recommended this tour and glad I did it . You could not get a more personal tour than this one. I would do it again in a New York minute. |

| i thought this trip was great fun and informative of the city. A great trip to learn your way round the city. The host was great fun and made the day very enjoyable. I would recommend this trip as soon as you were in the city because it gives you a great over all look at the city and learns you the lay out of the city. I have been to the city many times and still enjoyed it very much. |

| My family and I wanted to book a smaller tour, not wanting to take an impersonal large tour bus. This tour was perfect! We learned more in a half day about New York than we could imagine. We highly recommend this tour for anyone young and old, families or not. Fantastic tour!!!! |

| Steve is very funny and full of information. I booked this tour based on all the reviews and this is a great tour that will take you all around. A previous review before my trip, made a comment that Steve is too political, including race and social issues. I'm not sure what was said on your trip, but he states his views and has a right to do so. I am African - American and was never offended. The previous comment almost made me doubt this tour, but I'm glad I did not let it stop me. Steve keep up the good work ! |

| I loved the seeing and learning about the neighborhoods. That's something I didn't get from travel info. I'm glad I saw the World Trade Center site and I was touched by the American Express memorial. I wouldn't have even know it was there if I hadn't been on this tour. Our guide, Steve, knew our names even before we left the pick up spot. Once, we met up with a HUGE tour, and they were listening to Steve, instead of the guide from their bus. Kratz Deli was great. Thanks Steve. |

| 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 tour covered a lot of ground in its 7 hours, including a stop for lunch at the famous Katz's Deli. Got off the bus several times for photo shoots and to stretch. The tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. His love of NYC came through in his tour, and his breadth of knowledge was apparent. He knew everyone's names from the start, which made everyone feel very much at home.
We especially enjoyed the tour through St. Paul's Chapel and the great view of Ground Zero, not to mention all the info regarding the future of this site. He was very adept at manoeuvring the bus through the NYC traffic, never missing a beat in his narration. He was humorous, thorough and good-natured. After the tour, we felt we had learned a lot about NYC and knew where we wanted to return to spend more time. Thanks to the guide, we were very comfortable getting around the streets and avenues. Thanks for a great tour! |
