| I really enjoyed our tour with Steve. He had a lot of good information about the area and buildings. I only wish that we would have had more photo opportunities. It was hard to take photo from the van that was moving.
I have recommended this tour to my neighbor that will be visiting New York the week of Monday March 19. |

| I took my staff (5) to New York as a "thank you" for their hard work. None of them had been before so I wanted to include a sightseeing trip, but we didn't fancy being part of a busload of 50 people. Marvelous Manhattan was ideal. There were 13 on the tour which was a great size. Steve, our guide, was FANTASTIC. Very enthusiastic, very funny and very interesting. When I booked, I thought a full day tour might be a bit long, however he kept it interesting all day and the time flew by. We learnt a lot about this great city and feel that we know it from top to bottom now.
We would highly recommend Marvelous Manhattan tours. They really are great!! |

| I have traveled extensively and this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. I have been to NY before but the person I was with had never been here. This was a very comprehensive tour of Manhattan and left us feeling like we really "knew" the city. The tour guide, Steve, was exceptional. He had a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge of Manhattan. I thought that maybe the tour would be too long but it flew by and left me wanting more! Not only would I recommend this tour to others, I would be happy to take it again when I return to New York with my husband. |

| It was a bitterly cold day and there were 10 of us on the Tour from different parts of USA and UK . Steve made it clear from outset he wished the day to be interactive and it really was . Steve was a cross between a teacher and a stand up comic and because of this the group gelled immediately . We wre able to learn things and see things we would never have seen on our own and being such an intimate small group everything was personalised .
I would not hesitate in recommending this tour to anyone ( individual,pairs or groups) it has set the Standards that I will judge all other Tours by .
p.s. Just make sure Steve doesn't lock the van keys inside the van . |

| There is no possible way that our tour could have been any better!!
I will recommend this tour to all of my friends that are coming to New York. It was interesting from start to finish & my family and I were raving about it. The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the accommodations in the vehicle are nice too.
I am so glad that we did the Marvelous Manhattan tour due primarily to the small group feel, our guide called everyone by name after about 5 minutes.

| 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. |

| What makes this tour excellent are two things:
1. Steve - the tour guide really knows and loves the city and provides great history
2. Small group size - the small bus and thus the small group really makes the tour more intimate. Steve calls everybody by name and we all had a great time.
I would definately recommend this tour and would not hesitate to take my children on it next time we are in the city. |

| Steve set the scene for the day with a warm greeting for the 3 couples and a single on our bus. Everybody was soon on first name terms and we had a great time discovering the real New York - the people as well as the sites. All the main sites were covered with frequent opportunities to get off the bus and walk round the sites/ take photos - the guide was informative and we gained a good perspective as to the history and current 'what is happening' view of NY - we were encouraged to ask questions along the route and had the opportunity to be flexible if more time was wanted at a site. All I can say that is that we a great day - the 6 hours flew by - I would recommend this as very good value for money compared to larger bus tours where you only listen to a commentary and cannot interact with your guide. Well done Steve! |
