| I took my 12 year old grand daughter on this tour and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was fun being with Steve and the others in the small group. In the past, I have taken tours of New York City and this was , without a doubt, the best.
I liked the choices and Steve's comments and personal thoughts.
I highly recommend this tour and its humorous and informative leader.

| Steve was our guide and George was our driver. Both were awesome. This was our thrid trip to NYC(Manhattan), but the first time we had taken a formal tour. I can't tell you how much it added to our experience. We learned things about the city that we would never have known otherwise. The small group made for a much better experience than the big tour buses. Thanks to Steve for a fun, entertaining, educational experience. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour. |

| We enjoyed our tour for the most part. I was suffering from jet lag, but we really got to see all the important sights in downtown Manhattan. It was a lot to see in one day. Our tour guide, "Steve" kept things interesting and lively. He moved us along at a fast pace.
I would have liked to see Ellis Island up closer. The weather was nice up until about 3:30 or so. Then the rain came. Our tour guide more or less told us to get out in the rain. We walked about four blocks to our hotel in the rain. We knew the driver would not return us to the hotel, but we didn't really know where we were, at first. Then the guide, "Steve" said, "What are you waiting for? The rain to stop?" and that was the way he dumped us off the bus. By that time we were all tired, but he could have been more polite to tourists. |

| the tour was the best ever. It was knowledgable and our tour guide Steve was well informed and he was an excellent tour guide. I wished that we had taken the tour in the beginning of vacation instead of the end so much to see we would have liked to go back over some of the interesting points that Steve pointed out. We stopped to take pictures and we were given enough time to reflect everything that Steve was telling us. I would give the tour a five star. |

| I am a native New Yorker who decided to take a tour so I could get a different perspective of the city in which I have lived all my life, and I absolutely loved my tour with Marvelous Manhattan Tours, led by the knowlegable and hilarious "King of New York" Steven who kept us laughing the whole time when he wasn't filling us in on the history of the sights. Furthermore the vehicle in which we rode was clean, comfortable and luxurious. You get more than a tour with Marvelous Manhattan. You get a lesson on how to navigate the streets, neighborhoods and people of this complex and exciting metropolis. This is the best there is. |

| When the King (Stephen Duer) arrived promptly at our meeting place, he informed our small group - myself (43), my mother (73) and a couple from the UK - that there had been a fire on one of the tour busses the day before, and while he had to reschedule a tour for a larger group he would be able to personally give us the Marvelous Manhattan Tour.
I have traveled extensively, and have been to New York numerous times, so my concern was that my mother would have an enjoyable day. Because of the expertise of our tour director she did. We were not a traditional homogeneous group; my mother is 73, I am 43 and we are African-American, our tour mates were a middle aged White couple from England. I had been to New York several times, my mother had never been, and our tour mates were on their third trip. Keeping all of us informed and entertained, especially given our very different backgrounds, expectations and areas of interest, was no small feat!
Our guides’ knowledge of all aspects of New York City, from rap culture to historical architecture, was impressive. More important, however, was the fact that this tour was conducted in such a way as to keep all parties entertained. It was more like having a good friend who knows what you want to see and experience show you the ropes than a tour. My mom has restrictions on her ability to walk, and as a result on several of the stops she wanted to stay in the van. Mr. Duer was such an excellent conversationalist that she did not feel at all that she missed out on anything. The day gave all of us a wonderful overview of New York City - even though I have been to the city several times I learned and saw many things that were new to me.
I would without hesitation suggest and recommend this tour to anyone who would like the ultimate touring experience. There were tours that cost less, but for my money this one could not be beat. Mr. Duer is the consummate professional, and in all of my travels around the world I have not been a part of a more interactive, interesting tour. |

| My husband and I and his parents took the full day tour and enjoyed it very much. We were able to see many sights and different areas of Manhattan. It helped us get a feel of Manhattan before we headed off on our own. Steve was very knowledgeable and a fun guy, even if he did go off on a couple of tangents. But overall we had a great time and would highly recommend this tour. |
