| I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND ENTHUSIASM OF OUR TOUR LEADER STEVE. IMMEDIATELY HE EXPRESSED A SINCERE INTEREST IN ALL OF US AND OUR NAMES AND ORIGINS. THIS TOUR IS AN AWESOME OVERVIEW OF THIS ELECTRIC CITY. WE WERE INTRODUCED TO SO MANY ASPECTS OF NEW YORK CITY, FROM THE INFAMOUS SUCH AS LADY LIBERTY AND THE TWIN TOWERS MEMORIAL, TO THE ART MUSEUMS AND THE UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE SUCH AS CAST IRON COLUMNS. WE WERE SHOWN THE HIDDEN NEW YORK CITY SUCH AS THE FAMOUS PEOPLES' HOMES, THE WONDERFUL DELI KATZS, AND THE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF TOWN, INCLUDING THE ALMOST EXTINCT MEAT PACKING DISTRICT. I LEANED MORE IN OUR ALL DAY TOUR THAN I EVER WOULD ON MY OWN STUDYING AND SAW SO MUCH MORE THAN POSSIBLE USING OUR OWN RESOURCES.STEVE NOT ONLY REVEALED TO US FACTS , HE BROUGHT THE HISTORY OF NYC ALIVE WITH STORIES AND VIVIDLY PAINTED MENTAL PICTURES. I WILL RETURN TO NYC AND I WILL RETURN TO THIS AWESOME TOUR. |

| A tour guide can make or break a tour. The guide for Marvelous Manhattan Tours has been doing this for more than 15 years and has everything timed perfectly and knows Manhattan inside and out. He's witty, entertaining, and includes many interesting facts that make you sit up and take notice.
From walking around the theatre district and strolling through Central Park to eating a pastrami sandwich at Katz's...I had a blast!

| We have been to New York City before and never took a real tour. This tour was well worth it in every aspect of it. We would all (thats the whole family) highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Apple.

| I really enjoyed this very thorough tour of uptown and downtown. The day went by so fast! Stephen was a great speaker with a lot of knowledge about his city. I loved that we stopped for lunch at Katz's Deli! I would recommend this tour to anyone. |

| If you only have a short time in NYC, this is a must! Steve has been guiding tours for 18 years and it shows. I've been on tours in other cities - mostly in Europe and this is the best by far. I've been to NYC several times, but went this time with someone who had never been. I thought I'd be bored on the tour, but found it so interesting and fun. I learned a lot and saw plenty of new sites. |

| Steve was an abolsolute delight! Very informative, with statistics about things I wouldn't have thought to ask, but was so interesting. I'll bet I know more now about NYC than most people that live there. His love of the city just radiates. I wish more people would be able to know about this wonderful experience. Please do more advertising, I will spread the word myself. P. S. Please have Steve contact me, regarding some networking with my sister New York hotels. |

| Steven the tour guide is great! The tour bus was comfortable, he answered all our questions and he's a character too. This was our first trip to N. Y. and it was great to get on and off the bus with the tour guide so that he can give us the history while we were in Grand Central station or in the Northern part of Central park (which was gorgeous in November). He's a New Yorker that has been running tours for 18 years so he knows his stuff. This is the personal attention we wanted compared to the sitting on the top of a bus getting sunburned partially listening to an announcer on the intercom. I will definitely come back to New York as soon as I can and I enthusiastically recomemend this tour! |

| This was my third time to take this tour. I recommend it to everyone going to NYC. Since this was my daughter's first trip to NYC, we took the tour. It is a small group that allows for interaction between the tourists and the tour guide. We got great info that helped us understand the area better and enhanced the whole trip. It is planned with your comfort in mind and covers the best points of Manhattan. It is lengthy but worth the time spent. |
