| My family went on the Marvelous Manhatten Bus Tour on Apr. 11, 2009. We absolutely loved it! Our guide, Steve, did a great job and was very informative. He talked non-stop all day long and showed us many sights! I would highly recommend this tour for all ages! |

| This is our third tour with Steve. The first time with another couple. We liked it so much that when we organized a trip of 20 friends to go to NYC we thought this the perfect way to intoduce them to the city. They still talk about it.
This third tour was with my family. There were 9 of us. This included 6 adults and three grandchildren ages from 12 to 15. All greatly enjoyed the trip.
Obviously if you take something three times and all who go with you rave about the tour it is something you want to also recommend to others, |

| 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 was great, fun and knowledgeable. We got a great snapshot of Manhattan. Learned to speak the New Yorker lingo. We stopped at key places: Ground Zero, St. Pauls, Sardi's, Time Square, Theatre district, Flatiron area, Chinatown, Katz Deli, took pictures of Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Drove through many areas and key spots were pointed out, such as Washington Square, the Dakota, and we went to Harlem as well. It was a very small group so felt like we were on a semi-private tour. Great way to get orientated to a fascinating city. We particularly loved it as we were in Manhattan for only 2.5 days and would not have gotten to all these sights. |

| This was a tour recommended by friends. It was an enjoyable experience but expensive. Worth considering alternative tours that appear similar for far less money (about $60). Perhaps we were unlucky as there were only 8 of us on the day and two of them were not booked on the full day trip and consequently left at midday. Avoid Mondays as first stop of the day is closed.
On a positive note the Guide/Driver was a nice guy and immensely knowledgable - an encyclopaedia of information.
Glad we did the trip as it was our first visit to NY.
New York is just amazing! |

| Marvellous Manhattan tours gives you exactly what it says and Stephen is a truly great guide. He is passionate about New York and not only shows you all the main sights but gives you information and takes you to places that really makes you understand this great City and how is continually changing. I had been on another tour on my first time to NYC but this was the first time for my son. I saw and learnt more things on this tour and we both thought it was fascinating and a great day. Well done Stephen and long may you continue to show the true New York to countless other tourists.
ps. the pastrami at Katz's was fantastic |

| The host, Steve, was fun, knowledgable and a real hoot.
I was sorry to see the tour come to an end, I could have driven around all day with him. After the tour, my group felt that we were New Yorkers from birth. |

| Traveling with my 2 daughters 23, & 21 yrs. old. We have been to NYC before but this was the best tour ever. We all loved our personable guide & the small group size. You see much of Manhattan & get off the van 7-8 times with a delicious deli stop for lunch. I will definitely go on this tour again. |

| Steve was absolutely the BEST. My family and I (including my 8 year old daughter) had a wonderful time on the day tour. We not only saw the sites, but learned a lot about their history (and while my daughter, Cadie missed a day of school she learned a lot about the history of N.Y. City). Steve's personal interaction with the guests on the bus encouraged us to form relationships with one another as well. He not only knew us by name, but where we were from as well. We took another tour while we were there and this one far exceeded the other tour (from a different company). Whenever we return (one day soon-when it's warmer), we will definately book another tour. It was worth the money and the time. Thanks again Steve and company! |

| I liked the areas which were covered, but our guide spent too much time with his opinions on everything. More facts regarding the city & the specific areas we were touring would have been better. |
