| Our tour was very informative and we learned a lot about N.Y. I highly recommend this tour. Our guide was well informed and knowledgable about New York and all the sites. |

| It was a great first day in New York City. Our guide was very informative and fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has not been to New York City. The only downside was the lunch. My daughter is a vegetarian and the deli did not offer anything for her. The other restaurants which were in the vacinity we terrible. We had the worst meal in NYC that day. |

| Steve was absolutely the BEST. My family and I (including my 8 year old daughter) had a wonderful time on the day tour. We not only saw the sites, but learned a lot about their history (and while my daughter, Cadie missed a day of school she learned a lot about the history of N.Y. City). Steve's personal interaction with the guests on the bus encouraged us to form relationships with one another as well. He not only knew us by name, but where we were from as well. We took another tour while we were there and this one far exceeded the other tour (from a different company). Whenever we return (one day soon-when it's warmer), we will definately book another tour. It was worth the money and the time. Thanks again Steve and company! |

| We met Swedish relatives in NYC and wanted to learn as much as possible about the city early in our visit so we could decide where to spend our time. Stephen was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the large windows made it a great way to take in the sights. His talk included more than mere descriptions of what we saw. He shared his historical insights and sensitive perspectives about the people who have made the City what it is today. Stephen's passion for NYC made this a great experience. I highly recommend it.

| The tour provided my friend, a first time visitor to New York, an insight into all the main highlights of Manhattan Island in one day. I had already visited the city on two previous occassions, but getting the insider view from a local was great and I saw the sights from a different perspective. Steve, the guide, was friendly and enthusiastic. He created a good group atmosphere and was ready to answer all questions. By the end of the day we felt we had certainly seen the highlights of the city and could then choose the parts we wanted to go back and explore further. I would certainly recommend the tour and suggest that you do it on the first day so you can get you barings and decide what you want to see more of. Only downside was the lunch stop at Katz diner, which was billed as a highlight but was ridiculously busy and in our view, not overly clean. I guess it was an authentic New York experience, but not one I would choose to repeat. This aside, it was fun, friendly and good value. |

| First time to NYC. We could not have had trip we did and enjoyed ourselves more than expected, had we not started our visit with this tour. Steve was outstanding, truly cared about the city and made all of us feel as a special guest of both New York and his. Steve is a rare find.
Starting the visit off with this tour allowed us to then maximize our time in the city. Extremely valuable and should be mandatory for all first time visitors and should be considered for most of the residents of the city to appreciate where they live.
Great great great. Please do yourself the favor and do this tour.
Thank you for making our trip that much better. |

| My husband had never seen NYC so we joined this tour and were very pleased with the pace and the personal touch. We loved the introduction of NY terms and the background info on various sites. We felt like we had an excellent overview of the city and we easily went back to visit special places on our own. |
