| First and foremost I did two tours - one was the Festival of Lights (I would highly recommend it to visitors at Xmas time - it was awesome) and the other was the half day Royal Bus Tour. Before I describe the experience, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for "adding" the extra Festival of Lights Tour on Dec 27th so that I was able to experience the event. It was awesome and our tour guide, Steve, was extremely entertaining.
What I liked most about the Royal Tour (half day) was that a variety of places are highlighted such that as a first time visitor to New York City gave me an idea of places that I might like to revisit and in fact I did revisit some of them. Had I been with another adult (rather than an 18 year old), I would have done the full day tour. What made the tour so great was our guide - he really was knowledgeable and entertaining.
BUT, you must tell him that he blew one thing! We left the tour early to go into the Mercantile Building to watch the stock exchange in action. We left the tour early because where we were going we had seen the evening before on the Festival of Lights (so it wasn't necessary to see it twice). However, we were not allowed to go into the Mercantile Building - you have to somehow get special permission in advance to do it.
I love NYC and I will be back - and I will do another tour with you! |

| Loved the tour. Steve did a fantastic job and is a wealth of knowledge and information. Wish I had known about him in time to schedule him for more tours/time. Would loved to have stayed longer. |

Half day tour covered quite a bit of N.Y.

| We had just a few hours to spend in the city and had to opt for the half day tour. We saw all the sites we wanted to see and don't feel we missed a thing. Thanks! |

| The Marvelous Manhattan Tour was highly recommended by a Salt Lake City friend, specifiying Steven as a tour guide. My husband, daughter and I took the Royal Tour our first day in NYC. Steven was excellent. At the end of the day we all felt we had a good knowledge of the City. |

| The tour was great. This is the second time I have taken this tour. Stephen is very knowlegable and enthusiastic, however he got a little off on his policital views at one point and one of the participants had to get him back on track. |

| This was a highly enjoyable and thoroughly informative tour of Manhattan. The many little bits of details and statistics that Steve provided with great enthusiasm, helped me to truly appreciate New York right from the beginning of my vacation. We took our infant son on the tour with us, even though it was an entire day of touring. Because it was a nice bus I was able to feed and care for him throughout the day with very little disturbance to anyone on board. We forgot our camera, but due to Steve's thoroughness we were able to make our way back to our favorite spots without complication. If you are looking to tour with a small group and a very detailed description of Manhattan this is a Marvelous choice! |

| A tour that all visitors (and even locals) must take in order to better appreciate the history and sites of New York City. Steve, our tour guide, was very informative and entertaining. He's a real new yorker who truly loves his city! After taking his tour, we too undertand why many people rave about this city. |

| We were first time visitors to New York City and feel we received a fabulous overview of the city from Stephen Duer, our tour guide. Stephen is exceptionally knowledgeable of New York City and enthusiastically shared this with us. We arrived with no concept of New York and left knowing uptown from downtown, the fashion district from wall street, soho from greenwich village, Manhattan from the Bronx, and how all this fits together. It was a great tour. Well done, Stephen. |
