| Steven is a showman with a lot of information. The time spent with him was energetic and enlightening. He added great insight into stone buildings and neighborhoods, not just regurgitaing facts. He made you feel the heart of the city. |

| The Marvelous Manhattan Tour was highly recommended by a Salt Lake City friend, specifiying Steven as a tour guide. My husband, daughter and I took the Royal Tour our first day in NYC. Steven was excellent. At the end of the day we all felt we had a good knowledge of the City. |

| Steve was an incredible guide - his experience and extensive knowledge of various aspects of the city makes this tour one of the best. His enthusiasm to answer questions and ability to make the information even more interesting makes this tour worth every penny and minute. Steve has set the pace and schedule to perfectly match the city and it really helps you feel less like a tourist. This was the perfect beginning to a vacation in NYC - a must for all those who visit whether it's your first or 101st trip. |

| Our guide for the day was JOE. He had a plethora of facts which he shared as the small van drove the six members around Manhattan. I will recommend this tour as a wonderful launch to someone's first NYC visit. |

| Only 2 very minimal negatives (underline the minimal aspect):
1) Pinpointing the location where we would be picked up was not perfect (Hilton Hotel) - there are 4 corners, could have been any one of them. Did not know where to stand exactly to NOT miss the bus/shuttle, nor did we know what type of vehicle we were looking for so we were a little anxious about it. Luckily, we chose the right corner and once Steve arrived we were easily spotted and invited to board the bus!
2) Expected that the before lunch and after lunch tours would be similar in length so that we would see downtown before lunch and uptown after lunch. Trip was actually more like 2/3 downtown and 1/3 upper mid-town and only a short drive thru lower uptown. Appreciate what we did see, but time was a factor in seeing all we would have liked to see.
Steve was great. Very entertaining and was able to keep everyone moving in spite of time constraints. Nice cohesive group - pretty much everyone on the same page in turns of what their expectations were and what they enjoyed seeing and doing. I was worried that 6 1/5 hours was a long time to be on a tour, but the time moved quickly and there was no lag time or boredom along the way.
We thought it was money well spent and would definitely recommend it to others and do it again ourselves if/when we return to New York. Thanks Steve!!! |

| My wife and I were fortunate enough to have selected the absolute BEST tour company in New York City with the owner, Steve, as our tour director on that day. One thing in particular that impressed us was that Steve took the time to "teach" us about the city. This was my first visit and my wife had not been there in many years. We were taught how the city was laid out in districts, neighborhoods, etc. We took the Royal tour which I absolutely recommend for a first time visitor but also for those who may have visited before but still do not understand how the city works. Steve talked with us about the little church across from Ground Zero which we never heard anything about in the news. He explained how the city was one of the safest in the world now. And, I agree. After the tour my wife and I felt so much more comfortable and knowledgeable about New York City. We really felt safe. Police officers are everywhere, in cars, on foot and on horseback. We felt as though we were given "tender loving care" by Steve, "The King of New York". He stayed with us and was very prompt if he dropped us off so that we could have lunch or visit a particular site. We truely felt cared for. We live outside of Charlotte, NC which is a pretty big town certainly very small in comparison to NYC. And, as a "young Senior Citizen" it is important to be confident in those providing the services. My wife and I will look forward to recommending "Marvelous Manhattan Tours" to anyone planning a trip there. This was a wonderful, wonderful experience. We are most grateful to Steve for giving us a day filled with unforgettable memories!

| Steve was a great tour guide. He was very funny, entertaining, and also extremely knowledgable. If you're new to the city, or want to have a fun, more intimate tour, I definitley recommend this tour. |
