| I can honestly say that this is the best tour that I've ever taken.
In fact, this is the 2nd time in the last year that I've been on it, and I brought my wife's parents because it was so good. They raved about it for the last week.
The enthusiasm and quality of the tour is unparalelled. |

| 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.

| This tour had been recommended to us from a friend who had gone to NY about 6 years ago. She said if there was any way we could get the "King" to do our tour we would be VERY lucky! Since it had been six years and I read on the website that other tour guides had joined the company I figured the chances were slim that we would actually get Stephen (aka King) heading our tour. Needless to say I was thrilled when the bus pulled up and there he was... smiling away. This was not the average tour. There were only eleven of us on the bus and it was very interactive. It was more like having a friend from New York show you around. I would most definately recommend this tour and thought it was worth every penny we spent.

| I booked this to save my parents - who are senior citizens - the hassle of the hop on, hop off buses. It was the best thing about our visit. Despite visiting New York before on a number of occasions, I learned so much and my parents, first-timers in the city, were absolutely thrilled. The whole trip was a lot of fun with a great atmosphere and plenty of chances to ask questions. Steve has all the answers too; he's a knowledgeable and entertaiining tour guide who clearly loves what he does. The best value for money of the whole trip. Book this tour for your first day and you won't regret it. Looking forward to the upcoming tours of the other boroughs (or burrows, as they say!) for my next visit. |

| 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.

| What I enjoyed the most about the tour was the insight that was imparted. Most tours are - here's a building, when it was built, and it's this big. This tour was for example, the Empire State building was built in 1931, 102 floors - what you'd expect to hear from a tour guide. The interesting facts, seldom heard, are that it took only a little over a year to construct for they used 3000 men and paid them less than typical because it was the depression and all needed work. |

| This was a fabulous way to spend our first full day in Manhattan! We only had 13 in our group. We were able to ask questions of our guide and even make an unscheduled stop so someone could use the bathroom. Our guide Bill, was able to make restaurant recommendations and offer suggestions on places to visit based on our own personal interests. |
