| This was a good informative tour covering most of Mahattan's important sights with some historic background. Our guide was a nice, very talkative person (preferred talking than answering questions I think...although he always did answer). Bus very comfortable and easy to see outside, 3-4 stops where we could walk around a bit and lunch was at a really interesting place - at least if you are European you haven't seen such a place... |

Absolutely superb, the best tour I've ever taken

| We took the tour on a bitterly cold December morning just before Christmas. However our Tour guide Steve really warmed things up with his fantastic humour and intelligence. The tour was very varied, lasted just the right time and was highly enjoyable. Steve is a fantastic guide. He is funny, intelligent, witty and best of all very knollegable and passionate about New York City. For me this tour was the hightlight of my holiday. It gave me a superb understading of the history and layout of the city, thanks to Steve. i would recommend doing the tour early in the holiday as you will build up a fantasic understading quickley. I cannot tell you how highly I would recommend this tour and especially Steve to friends and family or anyone. A must bus tour. Go Raibh Mile maith agat (Thanks) Steve for a fantastic day.

| As this was my first trip to New York, everyone told me "You can't do it all"; "you'll never see everything". There is so much to New York, but this tour really helped tackle more of the city than we could or would have ever seen/learned on our own. I felt safe, free to ask questions, comfortable in the van. Steve is knowledgeable, fun, laid back, and open. My husband and I and the other couple dialogued a lot with Steve. This tour makes me want to take a tour to every futre city I visit.
I think the amount of time in the van was perfect. There are sites in Manhattan that I wanted to see because they are famous and historical, but there is really nothing to DO there. For example, Empire State building and Statue of Liberty - we saw them, we got out and took picutres, but only spent 15 minutes and no additional money. |

| My adult daughter and I took the trip of a lifetime when we visited NYC just before Christmas 2009 and in the height of a blizzard. The tour went on despite the heavy snow and was wonderful. Steve was interesting, informative, and entertaining. I definitely recommend his tour - it was one of the highlights of a wonderful trip. Thank you! |

| We did MUCH research on the NYC tour companies and selected Marvelous Manhattan Tours Royal Bus Tour. It was great. We covered the whole city. The bus was small with big windows. The Guide was extremely knowledeable and looked after our interests the whole time. This is the tour to take!!! |

| Our guide Steve was fantastic! Funny, witty and not only a guide but also a true New Yorker who shared his opinions and made us feel like like we were getting to know NYC the way it should be.
Stops were great - we got to know a city that we have never visited, understand it and get to enjoy following Steve's comments and suggestions!!!
Small Group - so you feel you're getting full attention
Highly recommended |

| This is the 3rd time I have taken this tour because I have found it very informative and full of many great sights of NYC. The first time I took it I learned a great deal and just had a really fun time. If this had been my first time on the tour, it wouldn't have impressed me quite as much. I think the big difference is that we did not have a driver, so Steve had to stay in the bus many times while we got out to see the sights, instead of getting out and showing/telling as we explored. I still think it is a good tour and despite this letdown experience, I would take new guests to NYC on this tour. But I would recommend that the best way to go would be to always have a driver, so that Steve could do what he does best, show his guests the best of NYC. |

| We had a blast. My sister and I went on a sister's trip to NYC and we took the tour our first day there to get to know the city, and man did we ever. We had such a blast. The host was great and very energetic. The tour stops were quick and efficient but still enough time to let you see everything. Great tour! |
