| WE both enjoyed our tour of the city. We especailly liked that it showed us where we might want to go back to on another day of our trip. The stops we made were very good.
We would higher reccommend it to anyone.
Would like to try other tours if we go back again. |

| Our tour guide and driver Steve was GREAT! He had the ability to provide a lot of interesting information while instilling a bit of humor along the way. We had a great time and would recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in learning more about NYC. |

Fun - Long on Downtown, Short on Uptown

| Only 2 very minimal negatives (underline the minimal aspect):
1) Pinpointing the location where we would be picked up was not perfect (Hilton Hotel) - there are 4 corners, could have been any one of them. Did not know where to stand exactly to NOT miss the bus/shuttle, nor did we know what type of vehicle we were looking for so we were a little anxious about it. Luckily, we chose the right corner and once Steve arrived we were easily spotted and invited to board the bus!
2) Expected that the before lunch and after lunch tours would be similar in length so that we would see downtown before lunch and uptown after lunch. Trip was actually more like 2/3 downtown and 1/3 upper mid-town and only a short drive thru lower uptown. Appreciate what we did see, but time was a factor in seeing all we would have liked to see.
Steve was great. Very entertaining and was able to keep everyone moving in spite of time constraints. Nice cohesive group - pretty much everyone on the same page in turns of what their expectations were and what they enjoyed seeing and doing. I was worried that 6 1/5 hours was a long time to be on a tour, but the time moved quickly and there was no lag time or boredom along the way.
We thought it was money well spent and would definitely recommend it to others and do it again ourselves if/when we return to New York. Thanks Steve!!! |

| I searched diligently for a tour before my first visit to NYC in mid June. On this web site, I read a single sparse negative comment which I negated given the hundreds of positive ones, so I booked this tour knowing that even with a forecast of inclement weather it would be comfortable.
It was over and above and beyond what I could have anticipated and hoped for. It was the highlight of my first and short visit to NYC!
Steve is “The Whole Package Tour Guide” - skill, knowledge, ability, insight, patience, perception, energy, personality, professional, answers to questions, and tips and recommendations … all of this in abundance! Steve added so much more ie: tid bits of information and trivia and facts that were so interesting that I wanted to be sure to remember - so I took notes!!!!
Our group, with a fairly wide age spread, interacted easily and quickly with Steve's lead and there was at least one individual onboard that was referred by another repeat customer.
I can’t imagine a hop on / hop off nor a double decker tour listening to a commercial narration through a microphone after having taken this tour.
A Suggestion: Steve …. if you were to simply tape yourself on a few of your tours, you would have the makings to print a booklet full of information and fun and good to know facts that reflect your personality and knowledge that your guests would be happy to purchase at the end of the tour as a souvenir. Best Wishes for continued success!

| Information and tour route was great! We enjoyed the day and it was a great way for my sister to see NYC in one day! I have been to NYC many times and have always avoided tours but would highly recommend Marvelous Manhattan Tours! |

| Steve Duer, the owner of Marvelous Manhattan Tours, lead our tour and it was fantastic. His enthusiasm and passion for New York City combine to create an informative and entertaining experience. We went on the tour the first day of a four-day visit and it really helped us feel more at home and appreciative of what the city has to offer. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is planning a trip to New York City area. |

| Wonderful, intimate tour led by an enthusiastic, humorous, and knowledgable guide. We were able to go places, see things, and learn more about the city than we ever could have done on our own. The small group atmosphere added to the overall experience. We will definitely recommend Marvelous Manhattan Tours to anyone traveling to New York. It was, by far, the highlight of our trip! |
