| I can honestly say that this is the best tour that I've ever taken.
In fact, this is the 2nd time in the last year that I've been on it, and I brought my wife's parents because it was so good. They raved about it for the last week.
The enthusiasm and quality of the tour is unparalelled. |

| After reading about Manhattan Tours on Tripadvisor and looking at their website I decided to take the morning tour of Midtown / Downtown. My wife and I opted to be picked up at the Waldorf Astoria (as we were staying close by) after initially not knowing which entrance to be picked up at, but thanks to the receptionist at Waldorf who phoned the tour operator for me, we were picked up by Steve at the main entrance.
My wife, myself and 3 others were the only people on the tour so we were in a minivan which added to the experience and Steve was very friendly and chatty for 8.30 in the morning. He took us via main avenues and side streets to areas not normally visited but also took in the main attractions with lots of facts and local knowledge about New York’s different areas and history. He answered (nearly) any question we asked even if it had nothing to do with the area. Overall a great way to see New York and helped us decide what attractions to visit by ourselves and where to eat and shop. This tour was great for us but may not suit everyone who might want to spend a little longer at each attraction. One last thing as for the lunch stop – never tried Pastrami and Rye but all I can say is Yes, Yes, Ohh ,Yes!! Take the tour and find out.

| This tour of NYC was very memorable. Not only did I learn many interesting facts and statistics about NYC, I had a relaxing and enjoyable time visiting all the sights and attractions. Our tour guide (Steven) was entertaining and made our sightseeing tour a fun experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone!! |

| Great overview of the neighborhoods of Manhattan. Learned a lot and had a good time doing so. Steve was good at sharing his knowledge and love of the city. The bus with the long windows and the small group made it easy to see and not get lost in the crowd. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I knew very little of New York prior to the tour , but after the tour I felt like I knew a great deal about the city. The tour guide was very informative and made the tour fun and interesting. The first night I was in New York, prior to the tour, I was walking around and had no clue where to go to see the things I wanted to see, but after the tour I was able to get around much easier.
We also visited locations that were a must see, given the short time period of the tour.
I would certainly recommend this tour. |

| WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THREE DAYS IN NYC
AND THEN OFF TO A NEW ENGLAND CRUISE. THERE WERE 6 IN OUR GROUP
AND WE THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO SEE A LITTLE OF ALL
NEW YORK. WELL, WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY
TO SEE ALL THE SIGHTS OF NYC. STEPHEN DUER IS VERY PROUD OF HIS CITY
AS WELL AS "VERY" INFORMATIVE & INTERTAINING. IN FACT, HE IS DOWN RIGHT FUN. THE TOUR COVERED UPTOWN, MIDTOWN, DOWNTOWN, AND PLACES IN BETWEEN! WE ALL AGREED, THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD HAVE EVER COVERED ALL THE FUN PLACES THERE ARE TOO SEE. FROM SARDI'S
TO GRAND CENTRAL STATION, STATUE OF LIBERTY, A PASTRIMI LUNCH TO DIE FOR, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. IF YOUR GOING TO NEW YORK FOR 1 DAY OR MANY, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND "MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS".
THANKS A MILLION STEPHEN, IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY! |

| Having visited New York many times my wife and I decided to put it all together with the Royal Bus Tour. Our tour host was very informative and provided many entertaing moments. His ability to interact with the various tourist on the bus was awesome. I recommend this tour for a great and enjoyable way to see and learn much about New York City and not be totally exhausted by the experience. -Wayne from Louisiana |

| I felt that is was a good general (Orentation) tour of Manhattan.
I would have liked to see Wall Street and the place where George Washington was inaugrated. I was told that wer were not going there because of security regulations.
I was able to go there briefly the day before and there were no security problems.
I feel that the tour guides should have better communication with the concerages at the hotels where they pick the people up from. The congerage at the New York Hilton said that they would come in and get me and in reality they were waiting for me outside the hotel. When the tour guide (Steve?) could not wait for me any longer he left a message for me at my hotel room. I was waiting for the bus outside the hotel and I was not able to get the message until the tour was over. When I was tired of waiting in the lobby. The Concerage called ZERV who contacted the tour guide. The tour guide said that they would wait 10 minutes for me at a certian spot.
I had to take a taxi inorder to catch up with the tour group.
This could have been advoided if the tour guide had better communication with the hotels. |
