| My husband and I took in this tour April 6, 2007. We really enjoyed ourselves! Steve took the time to learn everyone's name and made everyone feel welcome right from the get go. An extremely welcoming and very warm host.
Steve is full of all sorts of interesting tidbits and facts about New York City which really made each stopping or passing point that much more interesting. I really enjoyed how he encouraged everyone's participation on the tour with quiz type like questions.
Lunch at Katz's deli was a true New York experience. When we arrived the place was certainly crowded! We loved it! We ordered our food and raved about it throughout our lunch - it was truly delicious! They have this interesting ticket system that you MUST follow! Steve explains it fully before you go in so there's no confusion!
All in all the tour is fantastic - especially if you are on a short trip to NYC and want to see as much as possible. We only had two full days in NYC and we truly feel like we've see all of it! A great tour for all types of travellers - families, young and old alike!

| Except for the fact that the driver failed to get us at our chosen designated spot, and we froze from the cold waiting, it won't stop us from saying that Joe, our tour guide was very thorough, witty, very informative, and very detailed - enough to make us appreciate and understand the culture of New York City. We enjoyed the tour so much. Also, the tour was quite extensive, and i do believe we got our money's worth.
To the owner, thanks for picking us up, and bringing us to the bus so we won't miss the tour.
Again, thank you.

| We took a morning tour with our two children Kaitlin 11 and Megan 8. Steve was our guide and he quickly developed a rapport with all the group and especially our kids. We had a great time. The morning passed very quickly and we felt very confident to tackle new adventures for the rest of the stay. I was amazed when one of the children actually said they wished that I had booked a full day.
Thank you.

| We enjoyed the up close and personal tour with Steve. The background information and neighborhood tours really increased our knowledge of the city. We felt comfortable with further exploration of the city after learning about avenues, streets, midtown, downtown, etc.
Great information! |

| I highly recommend this tour - it is wonderful! I now know more about New York than our friends who have lived there for years! We were able to see just about everything we wanted to see on this tour. It was a great way to spend our day.
It's so much more than your typical tour - it's fun, it's informative, it's interesting, it's taking a day to experience New York. |

| When we started the tour I found Steve to be charming, witty and informed. He had witty comments and sort of teasing and bold.
At this point I was a little taken back I turned to see if my family was hearing the same thing, their astonished faces said it all.
They rest of the trip did not get better. He gave his political views, social commentary, and race relations hindered the trip. I found myself holding my tongue rather than enjoying the trip.
He was very informed however his views at time extraneous and inappropriate left me in a bad mood. At one let go and set him straight.The sentiment was felt on the bus as people made cracks at his "preaching".
I also noticed no one leaving a gratuity!
New York it a great place to visit and see! I love the city but not the tour.

| Excellent tour and a great guide.
We had just one day in NY and we thought this tour
could be a way to see and learn NY as much as possible.
It turned out to be an superb tour, with lots of great info, humor, best lunch in the world, and a great round trip on Manhattan.
Highly recommended.

| i thought this trip was great fun and informative of the city. A great trip to learn your way round the city. The host was great fun and made the day very enjoyable. I would recommend this trip as soon as you were in the city because it gives you a great over all look at the city and learns you the lay out of the city. I have been to the city many times and still enjoyed it very much. |
