| I would recommend this tour of NYC. The tour group is small, the tour is an excellent introduction to many important NYC sites, and the tour guide does an excellent job. |

| Steve provided us with so much information and we got to see quite a few sights. This tour is great because it is small and very personal, Steve even remebered all of our names. The highlight of the trip was definitely the stop at Katz's, if you go try the pastrami on rye. I highly recommend this tour, I will take it again next time I visit NYC with friends & family. |

| What I enjoyed the most about the tour was the insight that was imparted. Most tours are - here's a building, when it was built, and it's this big. This tour was for example, the Empire State building was built in 1931, 102 floors - what you'd expect to hear from a tour guide. The interesting facts, seldom heard, are that it took only a little over a year to construct for they used 3000 men and paid them less than typical because it was the depression and all needed work. |

| Travelling from Australia, my husband and I were a bit anxious about ending our U.S holiday at New York with the "stigma" that surrounds the city.
However after pre-booking this tour on-line, we have a new appreciation for the Big Apple, as our tour guide Steve showed us an informative and well educated insight into not only the attractions, but the cultural and psychological reasons that make the big city tick. Being one of the rare, well organised bus tours in Manhatten, we both felt that the tour went well out of it's way to accomodate our party, no matter how many obstacles were thrown in it's way (and there were many, being that half the streets were closed because of the NY 1/2 marathon!) as well as giving us general overviews and glimpses of Manhatten that only even a handful of locals would know. All done with a dose of good-humour, (tho some of the jokes were a bit lame Steve!)
We both reckon that this bus tour, was one of the highlights of our 6 week American odyssey and highly reccommend it to anybody who is thinking of doing it!

| This was an awesome, educational experience! Stephen was hilarious, considerate and intelligent. He seemed to really enjoy showing us and the others around. It was nice to get the background facts on Manhattan from someone who was so comfortable in thier shoes. He made you feel at ease while educating and occasionally dazzling you. I have told all my friends what I had learned about New York and now intend to move there. |

| We were on the NYC all day tour with Steve and he was AWESOME! We learned so much. He is very knowledgeable about NYC. He has a great personality, was very friendly and accommodating. He also has a great sense of humor. We had a great time and would encourage everyone to take his tour! I did extensive research online about NYC tours and decided to go with Marvelous Manhattan Tours and I don't have any regrets. His is absolutely the best tour! Thanks Steve! |

| This was our second tour with Steve's business, the last being about 12 years ago. Both times I enjoyed hearing the more unusual aspects about NYC. It was so enjoyable for my entire family. The tour bus was extremely clean and comfortable. |

| Our guide for the day was JOE. He had a plethora of facts which he shared as the small van drove the six members around Manhattan. I will recommend this tour as a wonderful launch to someone's first NYC visit. |
