| 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. |

| My husband had never seen NYC so we joined this tour and were very pleased with the pace and the personal touch. We loved the introduction of NY terms and the background info on various sites. We felt like we had an excellent overview of the city and we easily went back to visit special places on our own. |

| First time to NYC. We could not have had trip we did and enjoyed ourselves more than expected, had we not started our visit with this tour. Steve was outstanding, truly cared about the city and made all of us feel as a special guest of both New York and his. Steve is a rare find.
Starting the visit off with this tour allowed us to then maximize our time in the city. Extremely valuable and should be mandatory for all first time visitors and should be considered for most of the residents of the city to appreciate where they live.
Great great great. Please do yourself the favor and do this tour.
Thank you for making our trip that much better. |

| The tour provided my friend, a first time visitor to New York, an insight into all the main highlights of Manhattan Island in one day. I had already visited the city on two previous occassions, but getting the insider view from a local was great and I saw the sights from a different perspective. Steve, the guide, was friendly and enthusiastic. He created a good group atmosphere and was ready to answer all questions. By the end of the day we felt we had certainly seen the highlights of the city and could then choose the parts we wanted to go back and explore further. I would certainly recommend the tour and suggest that you do it on the first day so you can get you barings and decide what you want to see more of. Only downside was the lunch stop at Katz diner, which was billed as a highlight but was ridiculously busy and in our view, not overly clean. I guess it was an authentic New York experience, but not one I would choose to repeat. This aside, it was fun, friendly and good value. |

| We met Swedish relatives in NYC and wanted to learn as much as possible about the city early in our visit so we could decide where to spend our time. Stephen was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the large windows made it a great way to take in the sights. His talk included more than mere descriptions of what we saw. He shared his historical insights and sensitive perspectives about the people who have made the City what it is today. Stephen's passion for NYC made this a great experience. I highly recommend it.

| Steve was absolutely the BEST. My family and I (including my 8 year old daughter) had a wonderful time on the day tour. We not only saw the sites, but learned a lot about their history (and while my daughter, Cadie missed a day of school she learned a lot about the history of N.Y. City). Steve's personal interaction with the guests on the bus encouraged us to form relationships with one another as well. He not only knew us by name, but where we were from as well. We took another tour while we were there and this one far exceeded the other tour (from a different company). Whenever we return (one day soon-when it's warmer), we will definately book another tour. It was worth the money and the time. Thanks again Steve and company! |
