| it ws wonderful. Our guide, Steven, was great. He was humorous, accommadating and full of facts . He was also charming and gracious. His love for New York was very evident. The tour was wonderful. It gave a glimpse into the authentic part of the city, not just the tourist things. I would highly recommend it to my friends. |

| We would highly recommend this tour of New York City! Steve was personable, funny and very informative. We learned more than we had set out to about the Manhattan area, and laughed throughout the whole tour. A small group of every interesting people were on our tour, we got to know each other and shared conversation throughout the day that made the trip personal and fun. Thanks Steve! |

| Our group thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was funny, friendly and very attentive. It was as though he knew everyone personally. And to top it off his knowledge of NYC was exceptional.
I definately recommend this tour to anyone who would like a good overview of NYC.
Thank you very much Marvelous Manhattan Tours :)

| This is the 3rd time I have been on this tour and I have recommended it to many others going to New York City. It was great and I again learned new and interesting facts about the city! Steve is a hoot and makes the day very enjoyable. My friends and I really appreciate the fact that he is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor! He took us to so many beautiful places and the lunch at Katz' Deli was perfect. I feel sorry for the people on the double decker busses listening to the guide on a microphone, Steve is so personable. It's great that he makes a point to know everyone's name. I just can't say enough about this trip! If we get to NYC again we will definitely take the tour again!!
Steve, you are wonderful!! (Don't forget George, he is a great driver!) |

| This was my third time to take this tour. I recommend it to everyone going to NYC. Since this was my daughter's first trip to NYC, we took the tour. It is a small group that allows for interaction between the tourists and the tour guide. We got great info that helped us understand the area better and enhanced the whole trip. It is planned with your comfort in mind and covers the best points of Manhattan. It is lengthy but worth the time spent. |

| From the moment we started, our personable tour guide gave us new and interesting information about all those things that make New York such a dynamic and exciting city. We learned anecdotal and factual information about the neighborhoods and landmarks that everyone recognizes; and we were given insight into the less-well-known aspects of New York that could only be uncovered by a real expert. Fttingly, we wound up our tour at Katz' deli, made famous in the movie "When Harry Met Sally." With a different twist, we would quote Meg Ryan with a "Yes, yes, yes" when it comes to recomending this tour. |

| I booked this rather pricey tour for a fcouple reasons.
1. It was recommended by Zerve.
2. The type of bus.
I received excellent service up until my pick up. Shortly after booking I found out that the first pick up was at the Waldorf - so I asked to be picked up there so that we could have a chance at the first row of seats. This was all accomodated and confirmed via emails.
The actual experience: Not only were we NOT on the list for pick up at the Waldorf (as the tour guide indicated) there were other people on the bus ahead of us - so it was not the first stop and we had no chance of getting the front seats.
The bus was not the beautiful one described but rather a cramped mini-van which was difficult to manouver in and out of and as well, you could see very little. A coach would have been much better. But we were looking forward to the 'special' bus and it was not there.
The host indicated that he was a victim of the current economic troubles - and that's why his bus is gone. He said he'd make it up with the information he had to offer. Well at the price paid, we wanted both the information and the bus.
Interestingly at the end of the tour he told us that this mini van had 5 more days to go and that his new bus (the 'nice' style) would be in his hands at that point. So he lied to us at the beginning - suggesting that the economic climate was the reason is bus was gone.
Overall, disappointing - we should have been given ample notice to allow us to properly decide and take appropriate steps to research and book into another tour. |
