| The "provider" was on time and very pleasant. Had a definite "flair" for the City. He was very informative and enthusiastic about his delivery. We enjoyed our visit and would highly reccommend other travelers to do the same, |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We weren't sure if we would be up to 6 hours of riding around in a bus, but the tour was so interesting, so fun and educational, that we were disappointed when the tour did end. (All good things must come to an end!)
Steve took the time to get to know each of us, and by the end of the tour, we felt we were good friends. He is very personable, extremely knowledgeable, and takes great pride in this great city. We are from Texas, and are certainly proud of our great state, but after this tour, we were a little jealous! We wished we had the great history that New York City has!
We received a recommendation from a friend who took this tour, and we are so glad she referred us! Marvelous Manhattan Tours is beyond marvelous - it is superb!!

| My wife and I were fortunate enough to have selected the absolute BEST tour company in New York City with the owner, Steve, as our tour director on that day. One thing in particular that impressed us was that Steve took the time to "teach" us about the city. This was my first visit and my wife had not been there in many years. We were taught how the city was laid out in districts, neighborhoods, etc. We took the Royal tour which I absolutely recommend for a first time visitor but also for those who may have visited before but still do not understand how the city works. Steve talked with us about the little church across from Ground Zero which we never heard anything about in the news. He explained how the city was one of the safest in the world now. And, I agree. After the tour my wife and I felt so much more comfortable and knowledgeable about New York City. We really felt safe. Police officers are everywhere, in cars, on foot and on horseback. We felt as though we were given "tender loving care" by Steve, "The King of New York". He stayed with us and was very prompt if he dropped us off so that we could have lunch or visit a particular site. We truely felt cared for. We live outside of Charlotte, NC which is a pretty big town certainly very small in comparison to NYC. And, as a "young Senior Citizen" it is important to be confident in those providing the services. My wife and I will look forward to recommending "Marvelous Manhattan Tours" to anyone planning a trip there. This was a wonderful, wonderful experience. We are most grateful to Steve for giving us a day filled with unforgettable memories!

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was informative and very interactive. He taught us a ton about the city of New York. We took the full day tour, and would recommend for guests in the future to take the half day tour, as those taking the half day tour were dropped off about 1hr before us, at about 2:30pm. The only thing you would miss on the half day tour was a drive through Harlem. |

Great orientation to Manhattan.

| The small size of the group made the day very enjoyable. Steve, our guide, and George, our driver were suberb. This was our first non business trip to NYC and we wanted to spend time walking through the neighborhoods and the tour helped us to understand the naming conventions of the neighborhoods - and gave us confidence to wander the streets of NYC. We learned much about the history of Manhattan and planned our remaining time in Manhattan based upon what we learned on the tour. My husband and I recommend this format versus the impersonal big bus tours of the city. The lunch stop had the best pastrami we're ever eaten. Enjoy!. |

| I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM OF OUR TOUR LEADER STEVE. IMMEDIATELY HE EXPRESSED A SINCERE INTEREST IN ALL OF US AND OUR NAMES AND ORIGINS. THIS TOUR IS AN AWESOME OVERVIEW OF THIS ELECTRIC CITY. WE WERE INTRODUCED TO SO MANY ASPECTS OF NEW YORK CITY, FROM THE INFAMOUS SUCH AS LADY LIBERTY AND THE TWIN TOWERS MEMORIAL, TO THE ART MUSEUMS AND THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE SUCH AS CAST IRON COLUMNS. WE WERE SHOWN THE HIDDEN NEW YORK CITY SUCH AS THE FAMOUS PEOPLES' HOMES, THE WONDERFUL DELI KATZS, AND THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF TOWN, INCLUDING THE ALMOST EXTINCT MEAT PACKING DISTRICT. I LEANED MORE IN OUR ALL DAY TOUR THAN I EVER WOULD ON MY OWN STUDYING AND SAW SO MUCH MORE THAN POSSIBLE USING OUR OWN RESOURCES.STEVE NOT ONLY REVEALED TO US FACTS , HE BROUGHT THE HISTORY OF NYC ALIVE WITH STORIES AND VIVIDLY PAINTED MENTAL PICTURES. I WILL RETURN TO NYC AND I WILL RETURN TO THIS AWESOME TOUR. |

| A tour guide can make or break a tour. The guide for Marvelous Manhattan Tours has been doing this for more than 15 years and has everything timed perfectly and knows Manhattan inside and out. He's witty, entertaining, and includes many interesting facts that make you sit up and take notice.
From walking around the theatre district and strolling through Central Park to eating a pastrami sandwich at Katz's...I had a blast!
