| Travelling from Australia, my husband and I were a bit anxious about ending our U.S holiday at New York with the "stigma" that surrounds the city.
However after pre-booking this tour on-line, we have a new appreciation for the Big Apple, as our tour guide Steve showed us an informative and well educated insight into not only the attractions, but the cultural and psychological reasons that make the big city tick. Being one of the rare, well organised bus tours in Manhatten, we both felt that the tour went well out of it's way to accomodate our party, no matter how many obstacles were thrown in it's way (and there were many, being that half the streets were closed because of the NY 1/2 marathon!) as well as giving us general overviews and glimpses of Manhatten that only even a handful of locals would know. All done with a dose of good-humour, (tho some of the jokes were a bit lame Steve!)
We both reckon that this bus tour, was one of the highlights of our 6 week American odyssey and highly reccommend it to anybody who is thinking of doing it!

| Having visited New York many times my wife and I decided to put it all together with the Royal Bus Tour. Our tour host was very informative and provided many entertaing moments. His ability to interact with the various tourist on the bus was awesome. I recommend this tour for a great and enjoyable way to see and learn much about New York City and not be totally exhausted by the experience. -Wayne from Louisiana |

| Friendly and very informative. This was our second trip to New York. I got to know New York in one day compared to two days from the last time. I felt like having my own chauffeur.
The only thing I recommend is Steve have a portable microphone so you don't need to lose your voice as much.
I made copies from the internet to share with my friends and their friends.
Keep up the good work. |

| 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. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was informative and very interactive. He taught us a ton about the city of New York. We took the full day tour, and would recommend for guests in the future to take the half day tour, as those taking the half day tour were dropped off about 1hr before us, at about 2:30pm. The only thing you would miss on the half day tour was a drive through Harlem. |

| After reading about Manhattan Tours on Tripadvisor and looking at their website I decided to take the morning tour of Midtown / Downtown. My wife and I opted to be picked up at the Waldorf Astoria (as we were staying close by) after initially not knowing which entrance to be picked up at, but thanks to the receptionist at Waldorf who phoned the tour operator for me, we were picked up by Steve at the main entrance.
My wife, myself and 3 others were the only people on the tour so we were in a minivan which added to the experience and Steve was very friendly and chatty for 8.30 in the morning. He took us via main avenues and side streets to areas not normally visited but also took in the main attractions with lots of facts and local knowledge about New York’s different areas and history. He answered (nearly) any question we asked even if it had nothing to do with the area. Overall a great way to see New York and helped us decide what attractions to visit by ourselves and where to eat and shop. This tour was great for us but may not suit everyone who might want to spend a little longer at each attraction. One last thing as for the lunch stop – never tried Pastrami and Rye but all I can say is Yes, Yes, Ohh ,Yes!! Take the tour and find out.

| We entered the very clean, comfortable bus and were greeted by our wonderful tour host Steve. Steve made all of us feel like we were all old friends out for a day of informative and entertaining sightseeing. We learned so very much about the history of New York and all the inside stories were wonderful. We would recommend this tour to all who want a relaxing day of seeing the spots that are important and learning the history and secrets of New York. |

| The guide and driver were first rate but i was surprised that your choice of vehicle allowed a view only to the sides with the prime front view blocked by the design of the cabin; the bus was otherwise clean and comfortable. I would do another tour with your company if it was with the same guide. |
