| 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 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. |

| 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!

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| This is the third time I have taken this tour and I have recommended it to several others who have also taken it. The guide is very knowledgeable and helpful. There is the right amount of entertainment value but it doesn't take away from the learning experience.
When the tour is finished you feel as though you have seen the city and understand it.
I recommend starting your trip with the tour as it helps you understand distances and points of interest you wish to revisit for more time. |

| This was my first time to NYC and I wanted something all-inclusive, yet entertaining. Well, this tour is all that and more! Steve, tour guide, has got to be one of the most knowledgable, funny guides I've ever encountered. I would recommend this with more than 5 stars! Lisa Zim, LA, Ca. |

| I was traveling with two teenage grandchildren and they loved the tour. I think this says volumes. Covered a great deal of territory, the tour guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable. A day well spent. |
