| it ws wonderful. Our guide, Steven, was great. He was humorous, accommadating and full of facts . He was also charming and gracious. His love for New York was very evident. The tour was wonderful. It gave a glimpse into the authentic part of the city, not just the tourist things. I would highly recommend it to my friends. |

| This tour had been recommended to us from a friend who had gone to NY about 6 years ago. She said if there was any way we could get the "King" to do our tour we would be VERY lucky! Since it had been six years and I read on the website that other tour guides had joined the company I figured the chances were slim that we would actually get Stephen (aka King) heading our tour. Needless to say I was thrilled when the bus pulled up and there he was... smiling away. This was not the average tour. There were only eleven of us on the bus and it was very interactive. It was more like having a friend from New York show you around. I would most definately recommend this tour and thought it was worth every penny we spent.

| I took this tour on the day before I left NY and what a fantastic way to finish off my wonderful trip! Joe, our tour guide, was perfect - a true new yorker with a love and knowledge of the city which made you want to go back!
A great way to start any trip to NY because you get to see the places you might like to go and see some more of. It was great to sit back and be driven all around, we were a nice small group on the day I went and so it was a chance to chat more with the tour guide.
I would highly recommend this tour, it was an insight into the city and the day just flew by! Thanks Joe! |

| The tour with Stephen as our fearless leader, was truly more entertaining than the two Broadway plays we attended while we were in NYC. He gave a huge insight into the lives of local New Yorkers and a vivid history of this crammed town.....( coming from Texas there was a lot of close quarters....) Highly recommend this to all my friends and give it 5 stars... |

| The tour was awesome, I went with a group of 5 friends and we were all VERY pleased in the tour. I had never been to NYC before and after taking the trip I was actually telling my friends that live in Manhattan how to get around to certain places, and interesting facts about certain parts of the city that they never knew. Steve is HILARIOUS. He knows practically everything there is to know about the city and I guarantee you he will have his own T.V. show some day. He's got a great personality and makes the tour fun and enjoyable. The tour was literally the highlight of my entire trip in NY. I highly recommend taking this tour, especially if you have never been to NYC before. You will learn and see three times as much as you would not taking a tour at all, or going on another one.

| Our group consisted of three adults and one child. Would definitely recommend to others visiting New York. Tour was Very interesting and informative and made even more interesting by our tour guide. Being able to visit some of the sites on foot made the day even more enjoyable. |

| I had taken this tour 9 years ago with my Mom and 3 sisters. We have since visited about 8 other cities and always take a city tour. This is by far the best city tour I've ever been on. When my husband, children, nephew and I were planning our trip to NYC I knew we should take the tour again as it was the first trip to the city for everyone except me. We were not disappointed! Once again it was informative, interesting, funny and a great way to get an overall look at NYC. Our ages ranged from 13-46 and we all enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Steve, has so much knowledge of the city that the kids couldn't believe it. Every question they asked he could answer and if he couldn't, he would find out the answer.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about NYC. There is no way you could cover all the areas and learn so much about them on your own. |

Great overall tour!

| I really enjoyed our tour with Steve. He had a lot of good information about the area and buildings. I only wish that we would have had more photo opportunities. It was hard to take photo from the van that was moving.
I have recommended this tour to my neighbor that will be visiting New York the week of Monday March 19. |

| I took my staff (5) to New York as a "thank you" for their hard work. None of them had been before so I wanted to include a sightseeing trip, but we didn't fancy being part of a busload of 50 people. Marvelous Manhattan was ideal. There were 13 on the tour which was a great size. Steve, our guide, was FANTASTIC. Very enthusiastic, very funny and very interesting. When I booked, I thought a full day tour might be a bit long, however he kept it interesting all day and the time flew by. We learnt a lot about this great city and feel that we know it from top to bottom now.
We would highly recommend Marvelous Manhattan tours. They really are great!! |

| I have traveled extensively and this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. I have been to NY before but the person I was with had never been here. This was a very comprehensive tour of Manhattan and left us feeling like we really "knew" the city. The tour guide, Steve, was exceptional. He had a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge of Manhattan. I thought that maybe the tour would be too long but it flew by and left me wanting more! Not only would I recommend this tour to others, I would be happy to take it again when I return to New York with my husband. |
