| This is the 3rd time I have been on this tour and I have recommended it to many others going to New York City. It was great and I again learned new and interesting facts about the city! Steve is a hoot and makes the day very enjoyable. My friends and I really appreciate the fact that he is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor! He took us to so many beautiful places and the lunch at Katz' Deli was perfect. I feel sorry for the people on the double decker busses listening to the guide on a microphone, Steve is so personable. It's great that he makes a point to know everyone's name. I just can't say enough about this trip! If we get to NYC again we will definitely take the tour again!!
Steve, you are wonderful!! (Don't forget George, he is a great driver!) |

| I was born and raised in New York and moved to the West Coast when I was 26. I thought I knew everything there was to know about this great City. How wrong I was. My husband, a native of India and my two cousins, native New Yorkers who now live in Queens and Long Island loved the tour as well.
Our tour guide Steve was funny, helpful and very informed about each of the areas that we toured. We chose to take the half day tour of mid-town and downtown Manhattan but next time we are back in the City we want to take the remainder of the tour which goes uptown. It was such a wonderful experience to re-discover the City of my younger years.
Thank you Steve for a very rewarding adventure.

| As a native New Yorker enjoying the tour with family from out of town I found the tour
to be highly informative. I was made aware of so many interesting facts related to
the history of New York which I had never known and certainly would consider
another tour if the opportunity presented. |

It was one of the highlights of New York

| We took other tours in NY too and we were very pleased with the tour and the tour guide. The driver for the tour was very good too. The guide was able to answer our questions very well and we feel as if we got a very good tour for our money. I would encourage any tourist to the city to take this tour. |

| On this tour we saw everything we wanted and so much more! The route is very well thought out with just the right amount of opportunities to get out and step foot. We learned a lot - all the facts and the little insider secrets. |

|
A MUST DO on your first full day in Manhattan!

| I could not say enough about this tour. If you have never experienced New York before, as my sisters and I had not, be sure to experience this Bus Tour. We chose the 7 hour tour, and it was worth EVERY cent, and more. Steve, our tour guide, taught us more about New York than even our nephew knows, WHO LIVES IN NEW JERSEY! We left New York with a huge desire to learn even more: Burroughs (5 in total), how to pronounce Houston properly, the TRUE meanings of Uptown, Midtown, Downtown and Crosstown, there are only 2 homes in Manhattan (wow!!!), the cost of renting in Manhattan (ridiculous!) etc. etc. etc.
Steve made it informative and entertaining, and the fact that he is 'easy on the eyes' did not hurt one bit. He made navigating through New York for the next 6 days a real treat, rather than a stressful adventure, as it is to many.
Pass all other Bus tours by, and jump on this one.
My only complaint would be where we had lunch. We were looking forward to experiencing Katz Deli, where that memorable scene from "When Harry Met Sally' was filmed, however it was so stressful and frantic, and those working there very abrupt and impatient, it really dampened our previously high spirits. The situation actually brought my sister to tears. Because of the line-ups both to order and to pay, I actually delayed the bus leaving by 10 minutes, for which I felt very bad about. I will admit though that that was absolutely the best Pastrami sandwich I have ever tasted! Just be prepared to be treated like a number, not a person when you get there.
Other than that, do NOT miss this tour - fantastic job Steve! Thank you, on behalf of my two sisters and I, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - remember ('I'm sure that she is NICE"). : ) |

| I liked the areas which were covered, but our guide spent too much time with his opinions on everything. More facts regarding the city & the specific areas we were touring would have been better. |
