| I would recommend this tour for anyone. My wife and I brought our 2 kids (ages 6 and 9) to NYC and they loved the tour. Steve is very personable and really wants his customers to enjoy the city and learn. The best thing about this tour is the small size; only 11 or 12 of us on the tour. Probably the price weeds out a lot of people; I believe we paid $100 per ticket for each adult and about $70 for each kid. Believe me, it's worth every penny. You can ask questions at any time; this is much better than the large tour buses you see rolling thru the city. It's like having your own personal tour guide. Steve is a wealth of knowledge about New York. We took the all day tour; lasts from 9:30 to 3:30. |

| I hate guided tours and normally go it alone with a map but was recommended to the king of new york city and came away with a font of knowledge about new york and the people that live there.
There were three of us aged between 73 and 13 and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our day.
The tour was in a comfortable bus, ample refreshment and toilet breaks and stopping at Katz's deli was a true new york experience.
So my advice is - if you are going to take any tours, make sure it is with the king of new york. |

| Steve was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his city. He shared his knowledge with the tour and we all learnt things about New York we would never have known if not for the tour. He also shared some of his ides and thoughts which was great to here things from the perspective of someone who lives in the city and travels around it every day. I would recommend every first time visitor take tis tour. |

| Steve set the tone for our NY trip. He speaks very distinctly with good humor interspersed in his dialog. We learned many historical facts about Manhattan. He gave suggestions for other tourists sites to visit as well. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We enjoyed our very entertaininng 6 hours with Steve. It gave us a great overview and we were able to determine what to go back and see in more detail. I would highly recommend it as a "first day" excursion. |

| I did not know what to expect. I was born and brought up in New York and moved to Texas 3 years ago after remarrying. Many of the women here had expressed an interest in seeing New York and altho I would have been content to take them to the tourist attractions........after we saw them - what then..... Steve, our guide, took us to places I had never seen nor known about. He also took us to places I was quite familiar with. Lunch at Katz' was a nostalgic part of the trip as I had eaten there many times as a child and an adult. He explained everything in great detail and left no question unanswered. As a New Yorker I can only say that this was more than I expected - especially Harlem. These women walked away with a totally different view of New York - no fear - people friendly and hardly any dirt. Thank you Steve for the time and trouble you went to to be explicit. It takes alot of studying to explain everything and I admire his hard work. I would do it again if others want to come here and need someone to help them over the "hump". Thank you. |
