| 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. |

| The small size of the group made the day very enjoyable. Steve, our guide, and George, our driver were suberb. This was our first non business trip to NYC and we wanted to spend time walking through the neighborhoods and the tour helped us to understand the naming conventions of the neighborhoods - and gave us confidence to wander the streets of NYC. We learned much about the history of Manhattan and planned our remaining time in Manhattan based upon what we learned on the tour. My husband and I recommend this format versus the impersonal big bus tours of the city. The lunch stop had the best pastrami we're ever eaten. Enjoy!. |

| I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM OF OUR TOUR LEADER STEVE. IMMEDIATELY HE EXPRESSED A SINCERE INTEREST IN ALL OF US AND OUR NAMES AND ORIGINS. THIS TOUR IS AN AWESOME OVERVIEW OF THIS ELECTRIC CITY. WE WERE INTRODUCED TO SO MANY ASPECTS OF NEW YORK CITY, FROM THE INFAMOUS SUCH AS LADY LIBERTY AND THE TWIN TOWERS MEMORIAL, TO THE ART MUSEUMS AND THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE SUCH AS CAST IRON COLUMNS. WE WERE SHOWN THE HIDDEN NEW YORK CITY SUCH AS THE FAMOUS PEOPLES' HOMES, THE WONDERFUL DELI KATZS, AND THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF TOWN, INCLUDING THE ALMOST EXTINCT MEAT PACKING DISTRICT. I LEANED MORE IN OUR ALL DAY TOUR THAN I EVER WOULD ON MY OWN STUDYING AND SAW SO MUCH MORE THAN POSSIBLE USING OUR OWN RESOURCES.STEVE NOT ONLY REVEALED TO US FACTS , HE BROUGHT THE HISTORY OF NYC ALIVE WITH STORIES AND VIVIDLY PAINTED MENTAL PICTURES. I WILL RETURN TO NYC AND I WILL RETURN TO THIS AWESOME TOUR. |

| A tour guide can make or break a tour. The guide for Marvelous Manhattan Tours has been doing this for more than 15 years and has everything timed perfectly and knows Manhattan inside and out. He's witty, entertaining, and includes many interesting facts that make you sit up and take notice.
From walking around the theatre district and strolling through Central Park to eating a pastrami sandwich at Katz's...I had a blast!

| We have been to New York City before and never took a real tour. This tour was well worth it in every aspect of it. We would all (thats the whole family) highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Apple.

| I really enjoyed this very thorough tour of uptown and downtown. The day went by so fast! Stephen was a great speaker with a lot of knowledge about his city. I loved that we stopped for lunch at Katz's Deli! I would recommend this tour to anyone. |

| If you only have a short time in NYC, this is a must! Steve has been guiding tours for 18 years and it shows. I've been on tours in other cities - mostly in Europe and this is the best by far. I've been to NYC several times, but went this time with someone who had never been. I thought I'd be bored on the tour, but found it so interesting and fun. I learned a lot and saw plenty of new sites. |

| Steve was an abolsolute delight! Very informative, with statistics about things I wouldn't have thought to ask, but was so interesting. I'll bet I know more now about NYC than most people that live there. His love of the city just radiates. I wish more people would be able to know about this wonderful experience. Please do more advertising, I will spread the word myself. P. S. Please have Steve contact me, regarding some networking with my sister New York hotels. |
