| As an Austrian family with a teenage daughter having already travelled to many parts of the world, we can only recommend this tour to everybody. Steven, our tour guide, was such a nice and funny person who made us feel so welcome in New York City. He tought us a lot of NYC in the most enjoyable way. After this tour with all the interesting information we got, we even impressed our American friends with our knowledge of the city. Steven even found the right way to keep our 15 years old daughter interested in all the details (which is not easy) ... all we can say, is: thank you Steven, for the great day, for all the valuable information you gave to us and for all the fun this tour offered. Best regards from Vienna, Austria from Brigitte, Gerhard and Nina. |

| This tour covered a lot of ground in its 7 hours, including a stop for lunch at the famous Katz's Deli. Got off the bus several times for photo shoots and to stretch. The tour guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable. His love of NYC came through in his tour, and his breadth of knowledge was apparent. He knew everyone's names from the start, which made everyone feel very much at home.
We especially enjoyed the tour through St. Paul's Chapel and the great view of Ground Zero, not to mention all the info regarding the future of this site. He was very adept at manoeuvring the bus through the NYC traffic, never missing a beat in his narration. He was humorous, thorough and good-natured. After the tour, we felt we had learned a lot about NYC and knew where we wanted to return to spend more time. Thanks to the guide, we were very comfortable getting around the streets and avenues. Thanks for a great tour! |

| Good trip in that it covered large number of main sights of Manhattan. However we did not enjoy the trip due to the personality, manner and lack of interpersonal skills of guide/driver. He never introduced himself by name. Unnervingly he frequently had both hands off the wheel whilst the vehicle was moving forward, one hand on the microphone, one waving in the air and head turned to one side to address us.
He preached/talked at us rather than to us, in long monologues, in an unnecessarily loud voice. He had an overbearing manner and made derogatory remarks about us being boring and useless.He insisted on giving us protracted accounts of his opinions, biased rather than balanced, eg that we should be moving on from the events of ground Zero and after all only 2,000= were actually killed there. He made no effort to coordinate what was a very small group. The notice at the front of the bus "Gratuities Welcome" was inappropriate. We did not heed this as we did not feel he deserved any. |

| Thank you for a wonderful tour. We not only enjoyed our day of touring New York City but learnt so much as well. It may have been the history of the city or just enjoying the wonderful sense of humor. We saw places and things that we would have easily missed if we had tried to see the city on our own. Thank you for a fanastic tour |

| I decided to book this trip as it was a smaller bus and I hoped that it would be suitable for the elderly relatives travelling with us - it was more than suitable it was perfect.
Steve was an excellent guide with a never ending amount of knowledge and facts about New York. It was very enjoyable and at a pace that seemed to suit all of the people on the bus ( ages seemed to range from teenages up to 85 years)
I would highly recommend this tour |
