| We found & selected this tour by searching the enternet for personal tours of NYC. Their home page was informative and easy to understand. Our tour was on Aug 29th and with a small group, having Stephen Duer as our guide.
The tour was fantastic. Stephen provided enormous amounts of information about His city. He is proud of NYC and you can truly pick up on his home town experience.
The tour lasted approximately 6 hours having photo time, walking time and eating lunch at a true historic NYC deli, "Katz". I will recommend this tour to all of my friends as I believe it to be well worth the charge of approximately $100. per person. |

| Steve, the King, did a tremendous job. He loves Manhattan and shares his feelings openly. He's full of energy, personable, and makes sure he knows the name of each of his guests. We enjoyed the lunch at Katz deli, his feelings about 911, and all the great sites. Our group was Mom and Dad and our 30 year old daughter (actress/guide who is often hard to please when it comes to tours & entertainment). She thought everything on the tour was great and enjoyed Steve's candid approach. |

| The tour was well done, kept very much on schedule without being rushed and pushed. We were given a lot of history and interesting information about New York City that we would not have found any other way. |

| We were recommended to take this tour by friends who had done it and we were not disappointed. This was our first trip to NY and the tour was a perfect way to see the main sights and get a good feel for the city. Steve's depth of knowledge, his enthusiasm, his humour and the clarity of his delivery make him an ideal guide. The bus was comfortable and the duration of the tour just right. I and my partner have done quite a few city tours and this was far and away the best we have ever done. Absolutely brilliant and thank you so much. |

| Steve set the tone for our NY trip. He speaks very distinctly with good humor interspersed in his dialog. We learned many historical facts about Manhattan. He gave suggestions for other tourists sites to visit as well. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| I did not know what to expect. I was born and brought up in New York and moved to Texas 3 years ago after remarrying. Many of the women here had expressed an interest in seeing New York and altho I would have been content to take them to the tourist attractions........after we saw them - what then..... Steve, our guide, took us to places I had never seen nor known about. He also took us to places I was quite familiar with. Lunch at Katz' was a nostalgic part of the trip as I had eaten there many times as a child and an adult. He explained everything in great detail and left no question unanswered. As a New Yorker I can only say that this was more than I expected - especially Harlem. These women walked away with a totally different view of New York - no fear - people friendly and hardly any dirt. Thank you Steve for the time and trouble you went to to be explicit. It takes alot of studying to explain everything and I admire his hard work. I would do it again if others want to come here and need someone to help them over the "hump". Thank you. |

| This tour was very very good. The timetable was well planned and the vehicle was comfortable.
We saw and learned a lot and our guide Steve was not only wonderfully attentive and kind person but also very professional. He was easy to listen to and set the holiday mood to the group.
He also gave us a very wide and deep view of New York now and before as well as many good tips and advice for further exploring the great city.
Stops were well planned and as we got to explore them on our own even if shortly one got a better feel of the atmosphere in different places.
Even a critical teenager thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I would certainly recommend it. |

| In all the years of travel, this is by far the best tour we have been on. By limiting the number of people and using a small bus, the tour is very personalized. Steve quickly got to know the name of every person on the bus. His knowledge of NYC is truly excellent and there no questions which could stump him. We took the all-day tour which I would highly recommend. It covers all parts of Manhattan and Harlem. Very, very interesting and entertaining. Overall, highly recommended. |

| Great fun from the start. Steve was an enthusiastic very informative t entertaining tour leader. We learned lots about New York t laughed all day. It would be advisable to take this tour early in your vacation as we went back to visit many places in more detail. The tour is very good value plenty of stops. The bus only has approx 14 seats so tour is very friendly t be prepared for much banter t jokes Steve is one wacky guy we loved him! |
