| What a delight it was for my daughter and myself to experience Manhattan in a day this past Friday, March 6th.
Steve, the best tour guide, made our day. We want to bring our husbands back and take the same tour again. He was not only entertaining but provided quite an array of historical background to all the sites .
After our tour we felt confident in navigating the Metro and going to the different districts it took us to. I'd recommend it to anyone who visits this beautiful city.
Thanks again Steve for your accommodating spirit. |

| If you do nothing else in New York, book a date with this Company.
The Guide is a guy called Steve, who is not only your guide for the day, but he is also a great companion who knows his stuff. We enjoyed every minute with Steve, a true embassador of Manhatten. His wit and enthusiasm is endless, and I am sure he enjoys HIS work as much as we enjoyed his tour. Basically Steve has so much energy for his days out with his customers. A real New Yorker who gives you the benefit of his knowledge of the City. He has the answer for every question you can throw at him, and the Guy really knows New York.
Thanks Steve for a fabulous day out, we didn't want it to end.

| Steve was great, fun and knowledgeable. We got a great snapshot of Manhattan. Learned to speak the New Yorker lingo. We stopped at key places: Ground Zero, St. Pauls, Sardi's, Time Square, Theatre district, Flatiron area, Chinatown, Katz Deli, took pictures of Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Drove through many areas and key spots were pointed out, such as Washington Square, the Dakota, and we went to Harlem as well. It was a very small group so felt like we were on a semi-private tour. Great way to get orientated to a fascinating city. We particularly loved it as we were in Manhattan for only 2.5 days and would not have gotten to all these sights. |

| 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. |

| What a way to start a short break in New York. Steve was an absolute gem !! very knowledgeable and humorous, kept us interested and amused all day. It was our 40th anniversary and Steve and our fellow travellers made it a day for us to remember. I cannot rate this too highly. Thanks Steve for a tremendous day out.

| This was a tour recommended by friends. It was an enjoyable experience but expensive. Worth considering alternative tours that appear similar for far less money (about $60). Perhaps we were unlucky as there were only 8 of us on the day and two of them were not booked on the full day trip and consequently left at midday. Avoid Mondays as first stop of the day is closed.
On a positive note the Guide/Driver was a nice guy and immensely knowledgable - an encyclopaedia of information.
Glad we did the trip as it was our first visit to NY.
New York is just amazing! |

| Marvellous Manhattan tours gives you exactly what it says and Stephen is a truly great guide. He is passionate about New York and not only shows you all the main sights but gives you information and takes you to places that really makes you understand this great City and how is continually changing. I had been on another tour on my first time to NYC but this was the first time for my son. I saw and learnt more things on this tour and we both thought it was fascinating and a great day. Well done Stephen and long may you continue to show the true New York to countless other tourists.
ps. the pastrami at Katz's was fantastic |

| The host, Steve, was fun, knowledgable and a real hoot.
I was sorry to see the tour come to an end, I could have driven around all day with him. After the tour, my group felt that we were New Yorkers from birth. |

| Traveling with my 2 daughters 23, & 21 yrs. old. We have been to NYC before but this was the best tour ever. We all loved our personable guide & the small group size. You see much of Manhattan & get off the van 7-8 times with a delicious deli stop for lunch. I will definitely go on this tour again. |

| MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON TWO TOURS, CHRISTMAS LIGHT TOUR ON THE EVENING OF THE 23RD. THERE WERE ONLY 4 OF US, MY HUSBAND AND I AND A YOUNG COUPLE FROM AUSTRALIA. THE EVENING TOUR WAS BOOKED DIRECTLY WITH MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS. OUR GUIDE (I AM SORRY I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT YOU MUST HAVE A RECORD OF WHO IT WAS) WAS OUTSTANDING. HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY IS UNBELIEVABLE AND HE KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT TO MAKE SURE WE SAW EVERY SINGLE DECORATION HE COULD SQUEEZE INTO 3 HOURS. WE HAD THE SAME GUIDE ON THE 24TH AND AGAIN HE WAS OUTSTANDING. JUST CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HIM, HE WAS WARM, KIND AND VERY PATIENT AS THERE WERE FOUR KIDS ON THE CITY TOUR ON THE 24TH. IN ADDITION TO MY HUSBAND AND I ON THE 24TH THERE WERE 3 OTHER ADULTS AND 4 KIDS.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS AND WOULD MOST CERTAINLY USE THEM AGAIN.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GUIDES BOSS KNOWS WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB HE IS DOING OUT THERE. |
