| 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. |

| My husband and I were very happy with the tour. Our tour guide Joe, was very informative and you could tell how much he loved the city. George, our driver, did a wonderful job. I feel like this tour enabled us to see so much more of the city in the short time we had. Our stay in NYC was only two days, so we wanted to see alot. The tour accomplished that! I highly recommend it! |

| We took the six hour tour which was excellent! Steve was our tour guide and was very informative and friendly. He gave us an extensive tour of Manhatten and highlighted many areas and buildings that we would not have known about on our own. Lunch at Katz's Deli was great. We highly recommend this tour for both the content and price. It would make any visit to NYC highly memorable. Thanks Steve!!! |

| I took my 12 year old grand daughter on this tour and both of us thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was fun being with Steve and the others in the small group. In the past, I have taken tours of New York City and this was , without a doubt, the best.
I liked the choices and Steve's comments and personal thoughts.
I highly recommend this tour and its humorous and informative leader.

| Hi!
We wanted to learn how to get around the City. This all day tour did that for us. It included a break for lunch. A great tip by Stephen, our tour guide, was to go to the Katz Deli for the best hot pastrami sandwich in the City. This was a great suggestion.
The Sunday that we went was hot and humid. I was very thankful that the windows opened from the bottom a little to allow fresh air to enter the bus. The itinerary included several stops where we could exit the bus and stretch our legs. Grand Central Station, the Battery Park Area, the Financial District, and Central Park were all good choices. I liked it that the tour took us uptown to Harlem. Had always been meaning to visit this area of the City..
Wish the tour could have included some time for shopping in SOHO and maybe time for a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge, but now that I know where these things are, I will be more inclined to plan to do them on my own next visit.
I recommend this tour. The seats were comfortable. The windows were wide and provided an excellent vantage point for viewing the neighborhoods as we drifted by.
There was no bathroom on the bus so maybe this would not be the trip to take small children on. I especially liked that.
Stephen provided non-stop commentary throughout the all day tour. He was proud of the City and of being a part of it. He enthusiastically answered questions and was not ashamed to show emotion when the subject of 9/11 came up as we visited the site.
He became a little peeved I think when the audience failed to respond to a few of his remarks or "punch lines", but it was a hot day and the bus' s a.c. could not keep the bus cool enough to keep everyone attentive. It was a long tour.......but just as advertised.
I recommend this tour to anyone wanting a safe, comfortable way to see New York City in a day. I liked the choice of stops. I liked the convenient pick up location. I liked the comfortable seats and the great big windows. I think that tour guide Stephen did an excellent job and he reviewed the facts and details of the 9/11 tragedy with the proper amount of respect and sadness as we toured that section of the City.
I especially am glad that we did this activity on a Sunday of the long July 4th weekend when the traffic of the City was as low as it gets, allowing us to get from Point A to point B without the danger that must certainly accompany weekday tours.
So, go on Sunday...and enjoy.
Now, if I can only learn to use the Subway System! |

| Steve was our guide and George was our driver. Both were awesome. This was our thrid trip to NYC(Manhattan), but the first time we had taken a formal tour. I can't tell you how much it added to our experience. We learned things about the city that we would never have known otherwise. The small group made for a much better experience than the big tour buses. Thanks to Steve for a fun, entertaining, educational experience. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour. |
