| From start to finish of this tour, we were educated, informed and at the same time, entertained. Steve reminded us of Jim Carrey, but with a wealth of information on NYC at his fingertips. We covered most of the main sites on Manhattan Island and had a great lunch stop at Katz's Deli ( of "When Harry Met Sally" fame).
From the moment Steve greeted me by name until we said goodbye, this was probably the best tour of this sort I have been on- in ANY city.
From being first time visitors to the city, I now know the difference between a neighbourhood and a district, why the fence around Bowling Green is uneven, where to look for the "dirty patch" in Grand Central and which president took his oath on Wall Street. By the end of the tour, I felt I was beginning to have a real feel for Manhattan.

| Steve was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his city. He shared his knowledge with the tour and we all learnt things about New York we would never have known if not for the tour. He also shared some of his ides and thoughts which was great to here things from the perspective of someone who lives in the city and travels around it every day. I would recommend every first time visitor take tis tour. |

| Steve set the tone for our NY trip. He speaks very distinctly with good humor interspersed in his dialog. We learned many historical facts about Manhattan. He gave suggestions for other tourists sites to visit as well. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We enjoyed the tour and felt that the items included were excellent. You covered a great deal in the day. We also very much enjoyed lunch at Katz.
We felt that there was too much political view given and we felt uncomfortable. As international visitors, you suggested that we would not necessarily see things the same as the Americans and that may be so, but it would be nice to not be singled out when we don't even know anybody else in the group. We realize that Ground Zero will bring discussion, but as the tour guide we feel that you should be impartial and not let your own opinions come forward |

| This tour was very very good. The timetable was well planned and the vehicle was comfortable.
We saw and learned a lot and our guide Steve was not only wonderfully attentive and kind person but also very professional. He was easy to listen to and set the holiday mood to the group.
He also gave us a very wide and deep view of New York now and before as well as many good tips and advice for further exploring the great city.
Stops were well planned and as we got to explore them on our own even if shortly one got a better feel of the atmosphere in different places.
Even a critical teenager thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I would certainly recommend it. |

| We would highly recommend this tour of New York City! Steve was personable, funny and very informative. We learned more than we had set out to about the Manhattan area, and laughed throughout the whole tour. A small group of every interesting people were on our tour, we got to know each other and shared conversation throughout the day that made the trip personal and fun. Thanks Steve! |

| As an Austrian family with a teenage daughter having already travelled to many parts of the world, we can only recommend this tour to everybody. Steven, our tour guide, was such a nice and funny person who made us feel so welcome in New York City. He tought us a lot of NYC in the most enjoyable way. After this tour with all the interesting information we got, we even impressed our American friends with our knowledge of the city. Steven even found the right way to keep our 15 years old daughter interested in all the details (which is not easy) ... all we can say, is: thank you Steven, for the great day, for all the valuable information you gave to us and for all the fun this tour offered. Best regards from Vienna, Austria from Brigitte, Gerhard and Nina. |
