| My husband and I enjoyed this tour and learned so much about NYC that we wouldn't have learned any other way. It gave us a great overview and a sense of what we wanted to go back and see at our leisure. Steve was wonderful and entertaining and so knowledgeable of the city. Personally,I wasn't impressed with Katz deli,only because it was so confusing and unorganized and of course we were there at the height of lunch hour. I only had a hotdog because that was the shortest line to maneuver through. However,my husband loved the place and raved about the pastrami. The tour was well worth the money and gave us a great memory of NYC. |

| My husband and I have just returned from a mini around the world holiday. We visited many cties and took numerous city tours. This tour with Steve was by far the best. Steve was such good fun and full of interesting information about his vibrant city. I wish I had a tape recorder to record all the information that he fed us. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see New York. The Pastrami on Rye at Katz deli is something you must try for lunch in NY. |

| Steve was a great tour guide. He was very funny, entertaining, and also extremely knowledgable. If you're new to the city, or want to have a fun, more intimate tour, I definitley recommend this tour. |

| I booked this rather pricey tour for a fcouple reasons.
1. It was recommended by Zerve.
2. The type of bus.
I received excellent service up until my pick up. Shortly after booking I found out that the first pick up was at the Waldorf - so I asked to be picked up there so that we could have a chance at the first row of seats. This was all accomodated and confirmed via emails.
The actual experience: Not only were we NOT on the list for pick up at the Waldorf (as the tour guide indicated) there were other people on the bus ahead of us - so it was not the first stop and we had no chance of getting the front seats.
The bus was not the beautiful one described but rather a cramped mini-van which was difficult to manouver in and out of and as well, you could see very little. A coach would have been much better. But we were looking forward to the 'special' bus and it was not there.
The host indicated that he was a victim of the current economic troubles - and that's why his bus is gone. He said he'd make it up with the information he had to offer. Well at the price paid, we wanted both the information and the bus.
Interestingly at the end of the tour he told us that this mini van had 5 more days to go and that his new bus (the 'nice' style) would be in his hands at that point. So he lied to us at the beginning - suggesting that the economic climate was the reason is bus was gone.
Overall, disappointing - we should have been given ample notice to allow us to properly decide and take appropriate steps to research and book into another tour. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our fantastic tour with our host Steven at the wheel. Stevens supurb knowledge of New York City and the surrounds along with his humorous presentation was most enjoyable. From time to time Steven's opinions of none tour related items and of items of current events and/or political happenings were both outright funny and interesting. A full day of informative sight seeing and enjoyable conversation. Well worth the price of admission!

| After you have spent the day with Steve, you will know New York. If you want a real insider's view, take this trip. Go early in your stay because this tour will clarify what else you might like to do. Many stops, almost every area touched from Downtown to Harlem. Just be sure to laugh at Steve's jokes so his feelings won't be hurt. Steve loves New York and after 7 1/2 hours in a van with Steve, we loved it, too! |

| Friendly and very informative. This was our second trip to New York. I got to know New York in one day compared to two days from the last time. I felt like having my own chauffeur.
The only thing I recommend is Steve have a portable microphone so you don't need to lose your voice as much.
I made copies from the internet to share with my friends and their friends.
Keep up the good work. |

| Steve is terrific: He doesn't bore you with a ceaseless flow of trivia but rather informs you and shows you a fantastic slice of NYC. It is really obvious that he is a committed NYer who gets a kick out of his product.
There are MANY guides in this city. I am one of them. There are a number of good guides in the city but a vastly greater number of awful ones. Steve is a VERY good guide.
Highly recommended |
