| This tour was awesome because the guide knew his stuff on what he was talking about. He also kept it funny and he catered to everyone's age differences. I would take this tour again and I would reccommend it to my other family and friends. |

| Terrific tour... was not let down from what I read in the prior reviews. Very enthusiastic and knowledeable guide. I learned a lot about the city, it's history, etc. The visit to Sardi's was great... we ended up having cocktails and appetizers the next day before the show as he recommended, and it was wonderful. We found ourselves quoting all the history and trivia we learned about during the tour with our friends over the following few days.
I definitely recommend the tour. |

| Steve was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his city. He shared his knowledge with the tour and we all learnt things about New York we would never have known if not for the tour. He also shared some of his ides and thoughts which was great to here things from the perspective of someone who lives in the city and travels around it every day. I would recommend every first time visitor take tis tour. |

| We first took this tour about 8 -10 years ago, on our first trip since 1970 (when we hated NYC.) We took the tour on the recomendation of a concierge and absolutely loved it! Since then, I have sent a number of friends on it and they, too, loved it, so we decided to take it again. Steve has such a wealth of information about NYC, its history, and really seems to love the city. He communicates that love really well and helped us to understand the city much better.
One member of our group was a relative who lives in NYC and she intends to take her out-of-town visitors on the tour so they can experience it, too.
My only problem is that Steve doesn't "pitch" his program enough -- he should give everyone a business card and encourage them to send their friends. Everyone who goes to NYC should go on this tour!

| Our tour guide and driver Steve was GREAT! He had the ability to provide a lot of interesting information while instilling a bit of humor along the way. We had a great time and would recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about NYC. |

| I'm not much on tours. They tend to be boring and many times are lead by someone who is reading a script and not really into what they are doing. However, this was a totally different experience! It was fun, fast, informative and just plain great. I highly recommend this tour to anyone - Steve was tops! |

| 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. |

| I've been on a variety of tours throughout my life, but rarely have I been on a tour that left me with such a "feeling" for the area as this one did. Rather than just a series of facts and figures, Stephen gave us the real flavor of New York. He described the people in places in such a way that you could really imagine what it would be like living there. In addition, rather than stopping for lunch at a sterile "Wendy's-type environment", he took us to a real New York deli -- Katz's -- and we ate with the locals.
Stephen's energy level was amazing. I really appreciated the way he "told it like it is" instead of simply spouting off tired, politically safe facts. The tour was a great overview of New York. The next step would be if you could offer some specialized tours where maybe you just see two or three places in more detail. This was perfect for my first visit though.
For those people who want a traditional non-emotional "to the left you see the Empire State Bldg." kind of tour, this may not be for you. But if you want a high energy in your face tour that will leave you with a real taste of New York, then i highly recommend it. |

| Most in depth review of such a diverse place as NYC. I would thusiastically recommend this trip to anyone that is traveling to NYC. He prepared us for a very exciting place by giving us the lingo and orienting us so we knew where to go and how to get there. Very, very enjoyable; we could have come back for day two of the tour. |
