| We enjoyed the up close and personal tour with Steve. The background information and neighborhood tours really increased our knowledge of the city. We felt comfortable with further exploration of the city after learning about avenues, streets, midtown, downtown, etc.
Great information! |

| We took a morning tour with our two children Kaitlin 11 and Megan 8. Steve was our guide and he quickly developed a rapport with all the group and especially our kids. We had a great time. The morning passed very quickly and we felt very confident to tackle new adventures for the rest of the stay. I was amazed when one of the children actually said they wished that I had booked a full day.
Thank you.

| Except for the fact that the driver failed to get us at our chosen designated spot, and we froze from the cold waiting, it won't stop us from saying that Joe, our tour guide was very thorough, witty, very informative, and very detailed - enough to make us appreciate and understand the culture of New York City. We enjoyed the tour so much. Also, the tour was quite extensive, and i do believe we got our money's worth.
To the owner, thanks for picking us up, and bringing us to the bus so we won't miss the tour.
Again, thank you.

| My husband and I took in this tour April 6, 2007. We really enjoyed ourselves! Steve took the time to learn everyone's name and made everyone feel welcome right from the get go. An extremely welcoming and very warm host.
Steve is full of all sorts of interesting tidbits and facts about New York City which really made each stopping or passing point that much more interesting. I really enjoyed how he encouraged everyone's participation on the tour with quiz type like questions.
Lunch at Katz's deli was a true New York experience. When we arrived the place was certainly crowded! We loved it! We ordered our food and raved about it throughout our lunch - it was truly delicious! They have this interesting ticket system that you MUST follow! Steve explains it fully before you go in so there's no confusion!
All in all the tour is fantastic - especially if you are on a short trip to NYC and want to see as much as possible. We only had two full days in NYC and we truly feel like we've see all of it! A great tour for all types of travellers - families, young and old alike!

| Steve is consistent and energetic about New York. A good representative for New York City. My fifth tour with him and probably will not be the last. |

| My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Royal Bus tour of NYC. The tour was highly recommended by our friends in North Carolina. Our 17 year old daughter and her friend learned so much about the city in a very short time frame. Steve was so entertaining. His passion for NYC is evident and is shared by all tour members.
I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. Several members of our group were on their 5th tour with Steve. I plan to recommend the tour to anyone I know planning a trip to NYC. Thanks so much for sharing NYC with us, Steve. You were fantastic! |

| Steve was a fabulous tour guide. He was very entertaining as well as informative. Our group even passed one of the other tour lines and commented about how bored they all seemed to be!!!!! Not the case with our group.
We also thought that George, the driver, needed some kind of award for maneuvering the "people mover" in and out of traffic.
The only complaint that I had was the lunch stop. I know that it is a favorite of Steve's, but of all the meals that we had over a period of six days, that one was the worst. Maybe I just chose the wrong thing. I didn't get the Pastrami. I got chicken salad instead.
Overall, I highly recommend the Marvelous Manhattan tour. If information and details were priced by line item, the price of the Marvelous Manhattan tour is a real bargain!!!!! |

| The tour was fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone. Tour guide had real indepth information and history to share. His enthusiasm for NYC was obvious and made the tour so much better. I have never been on such an informative tour. We did the half day but wish we had done the full tour. |

| On the day we, my wife and I, had booked the tour for, there was noone else on this tour, but Stephen did the tour altough, what is not naturally.
This was the best tour we've ever had, we feeled like exploreing New York with a friend. It was informative, it was greate. Whenever we should be in New York again, we will do a tour with Stephen again. |
