| My boys and I have traveled extensively and always search for a tip top tour of each destination prior to venturing out on our own. This tour is by far the best I have ever had in any city, domestic or abroad. I have been visiting NYC for many years and each time I bring someone along that has not been to NYC, I take them on this tour. I have been on this tour 5 times in a period of 10 years. Each time Steven makes it a joy. If you really want to learn about NYC, be entertained, and have a true first class guide, this is the only route to take. I wouldn't even bother with another tour of NYC unless I could take Steven's. I wish he could franchise out his expertise to other major cities! EXCELLENT

| Steve, the King, did a tremendous job. He loves Manhattan and shares his feelings openly. He's full of energy, personable, and makes sure he knows the name of each of his guests. We enjoyed the lunch at Katz deli, his feelings about 911, and all the great sites. Our group was Mom and Dad and our 30 year old daughter (actress/guide who is often hard to please when it comes to tours & entertainment). She thought everything on the tour was great and enjoyed Steve's candid approach. |

| We went on this tour with our three children, ages 11 through 15 and everyone enjoyed it. I thought Steve did an excellent job of introducing us to Manhatten and giving us a good working knowledge of how to get around and what makes the city special. I felt we got a good overview of the city. He was entertaining and held everyone's interest. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

| We thoroughly enjoyed the Royal Bus Tour of NYC. When we first arrived in Manhattan my initial thought was why would anyone want to live here? I was also a little afraid. After the tour I felt totally comfortable and ready to explore the city at my own pace. Steven Duer is exceptionally knowledgable about NYC and has a wonderul sense of humor. He made learning about the city entertaining and fun. He was also very patient with my elderly parents who were much slower than everyone else on the tour. (Thank you Steven.) This tour is a little more expensive than some but well worth it. I would recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to learn about the city and not just visit tourist hot spots. |

| The tour was well done, kept very much on schedule without being rushed and pushed. We were given a lot of history and interesting information about New York City that we would not have found any other way. |

| From start to finish of this tour, we were educated, informed and at the same time, entertained. Steve reminded us of Jim Carrey, but with a wealth of information on NYC at his fingertips. We covered most of the main sites on Manhattan Island and had a great lunch stop at Katz's Deli ( of "When Harry Met Sally" fame).
From the moment Steve greeted me by name until we said goodbye, this was probably the best tour of this sort I have been on- in ANY city.
From being first time visitors to the city, I now know the difference between a neighbourhood and a district, why the fence around Bowling Green is uneven, where to look for the "dirty patch" in Grand Central and which president took his oath on Wall Street. By the end of the tour, I felt I was beginning to have a real feel for Manhattan.

| Steve, the tour guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I will recommend anyone who takes this tour to ask for Steve. He made the city come alive for us and I believe I can find my way anywhere, thanks to him. To take a tour with any one else is a great loss. It was well worth the money. |

| We were recommended to take this tour by friends who had done it and we were not disappointed. This was our first trip to NY and the tour was a perfect way to see the main sights and get a good feel for the city. Steve's depth of knowledge, his enthusiasm, his humour and the clarity of his delivery make him an ideal guide. The bus was comfortable and the duration of the tour just right. I and my partner have done quite a few city tours and this was far and away the best we have ever done. Absolutely brilliant and thank you so much. |
