| Loved the tour and Steve's personality. Lot's of information. We took the tour our first full day and it really gave us a "lay of the land". We felt very secure the next day on our own exploring the city, then we knew uptown from downtown. Steve has lots of opinions on various subjects and I personally felt it was refreshing to hear his take on things, rather than the usual tour guide script.Totally worth the money. Katz Deli's was great for lunch. Never would have gone there if not for the tour. |

| We were not disappointed. We reserved for this tour because of what we read on the internet. We chose Marvelous Manhattan Tours because of the small size of the group and the method of transportation - small, comfortable van/bus. |

| When we started the tour I found Steve to be charming, witty and informed. He had witty comments and sort of teasing and bold.
At this point I was a little taken back I turned to see if my family was hearing the same thing, their astonished faces said it all.
They rest of the trip did not get better. He gave his political views, social commentary, and race relations hindered the trip. I found myself holding my tongue rather than enjoying the trip.
He was very informed however his views at time extraneous and inappropriate left me in a bad mood. At one let go and set him straight.The sentiment was felt on the bus as people made cracks at his "preaching".
I also noticed no one leaving a gratuity!
New York it a great place to visit and see! I love the city but not the tour.

| I highly recommend this tour - it is wonderful! I now know more about New York than our friends who have lived there for years! We were able to see just about everything we wanted to see on this tour. It was a great way to spend our day.
It's so much more than your typical tour - it's fun, it's informative, it's interesting, it's taking a day to experience New York. |

| We enjoyed the up close and personal tour with Steve. The background information and neighborhood tours really increased our knowledge of the city. We felt comfortable with further exploration of the city after learning about avenues, streets, midtown, downtown, etc.
Great information! |

| Steve is consistent and energetic about New York. A good representative for New York City. My fifth tour with him and probably will not be the last. |

| My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Royal Bus tour of NYC. The tour was highly recommended by our friends in North Carolina. Our 17 year old daughter and her friend learned so much about the city in a very short time frame. Steve was so entertaining. His passion for NYC is evident and is shared by all tour members.
I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. Several members of our group were on their 5th tour with Steve. I plan to recommend the tour to anyone I know planning a trip to NYC. Thanks so much for sharing NYC with us, Steve. You were fantastic! |

| Steve was a fabulous tour guide. He was very entertaining as well as informative. Our group even passed one of the other tour lines and commented about how bored they all seemed to be!!!!! Not the case with our group.
We also thought that George, the driver, needed some kind of award for maneuvering the "people mover" in and out of traffic.
The only complaint that I had was the lunch stop. I know that it is a favorite of Steve's, but of all the meals that we had over a period of six days, that one was the worst. Maybe I just chose the wrong thing. I didn't get the Pastrami. I got chicken salad instead.
Overall, I highly recommend the Marvelous Manhattan tour. If information and details were priced by line item, the price of the Marvelous Manhattan tour is a real bargain!!!!! |

| The tour was fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone. Tour guide had real indepth information and history to share. His enthusiasm for NYC was obvious and made the tour so much better. I have never been on such an informative tour. We did the half day but wish we had done the full tour. |
