| Thank you for a wonderful tour. We not only enjoyed our day of touring New York City but learnt so much as well. It may have been the history of the city or just enjoying the wonderful sense of humor. We saw places and things that we would have easily missed if we had tried to see the city on our own. Thank you for a fanastic tour |

| Steve provided us with so much information and we got to see quite a few sights. This tour is great because it is small and very personal, Steve even remebered all of our names. The highlight of the trip was definitely the stop at Katz's, if you go try the pastrami on rye. I highly recommend this tour, I will take it again next time I visit NYC with friends & family. |

| 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. |

| My husband and I booked this tour in advance for our trip to NY. I was very disappointed that we were going to have to spend our first in depth view of NY in the rain, but you have to go with the flow. The usual tour had to be somewhat adjusted because of the weather.
Stephen was very entertaining, interesting, and knowledgeable. Unlike the other tours that I researched, the bus is small which limits the size of the group. The small group allows interaction among the participants so not only are you getting to see NYC, but you get to hear about countries from all over.
The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about was Katz Deli. I understand that the deli is considered an institution, but it just didn't impress me. Stopping for lunch where there are several quick places to eat might be a better idea so that people could choose what they like. I think that there were other places close by (they were not discussed), but with the weather being what it was, it didn't seem to be a good idea to venture out.
All in all, I would recommend this tour. The chosen route provides a great overview of the city and all of its distinct districts. My advice would be to take the tour on day one or two of your trip so that you have time to go back and see any of the places mentioned in more depth. |

| As first time visitors to Manhattan with a limited number of days to spend there, we took this highly recommended tour. Our tour guide was energetic, humorous and was very thorough in explaining what to expect and a brief history of each experience. We saw and learned about more sights and fun Manhattan insider stuff in 6 1/2 hours than we could have in 3 days. |

| Stephen, the tour guide, is full of information about NYC which he is bursting to share with you. While he takes you all over town he will explain to you how the city grew, the difference between districts and neighborhoods, who lives and/or works where and why. When the tour is over you will feel that you have a much better understanding of NYC. |

| 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.

| 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! |
