| This was a great way to see many of the famous sites of NY without having to ride around in a big tour bus. It was great having someone who knew the ins and outs of the city and its many idiosyncrasies. Steve was easy to communicate with (when you could get a word in edgewise) and had answers to almost every question we had. We will recommend this trip to friends who come to visit. Our daughter had taken this tour twice previously and wouldn't hear of our not taking it. Thanks again for a great time. |

| We were very pleased to have taken this tour immediately upon arrival to NYC. By doing so, not only did we learn about all these interesting places, but it gave us a chance to go back to the ones that were most intriguing to us, and explored them in more detail. The guide is hilarious, insightful and knows a lot about the history of the area. We made stops at the most interesting places and wished we had had the time to take a detailed tour of Greenwich Village. Next time!!
We totally recommend the MarvelousManhattanTour with the KIng!

| This was my second visit to NYC and my second time to take the Marvelous Manhattan Tour. The tour guides are personable, knowledable, friendly, and fun.
The tour is an excellent way get familiarized with the island and I highly recommend it. The group was small; the bus is comfortable; the tour is well organized and informative
My adult son accompanied me and this was his first trip to NYC. He said it was the highlight of his visit. |

| We had 2-1/2 days to spend in NYC and we spent the first 1-1/2 doing a pretty good job of covering mid-town on our own. We didn't want to leave NYC without at least an overview of the rest of the island and we'd heard that Marvelous Manhattan was a great way to get that. With Stephen as our guide, we accomplished everything we wanted and more. We saw the important and famous buildings including restaurants, stores, theatres and museums. We drove through every district getting a thorough explanation of where we were, what the importance of the district was, something of its history and the names of famous people who either worked in, lived in or impacted the areas. We learned how the various districts changed and evolved over the years and exactly what they were like today. We covered it all--north, south, east and west. When we return to NY, we will know exactly what we want to visit and where it is. Any time we spend there in the future will be totally productive because of our tour.
I can't say enough about Stephen. He made a huge effort to give us a tremendous amount of information in the time we had. He was very sensitive to members of the group. He enjoyed interacting with us and liked having questions and comments throughout the trip. After touring together for several hours, as guests we were getting to know one another and we began having conversations among ourselves. Stephen stepped back at those times and allowed us to visit without feeling that we were interfering with what he was trying to do, but he masterfully interjected his information when we were at important sites. He knew what would be important to all of us and he knew how to efficiently cover the city to get everything in. It was obvious right from the beginning that we were in competent hands with Stephen.
If we could have, I would have taken this tour the first day of our visit in NY. We would have been much more confident about where we were going and what we were seeing. But, as it is, we did fine on our own and now know exactly what we want to do when we return. Our time in the future will be very productive because of our tour.
I think we were very fortunate to have found Marvelous Manhattan and Stephen we are very grateful to him for caring to give us a great experience. |

| Stephen Duer (The King of New York) is high energy and very knowledgeable. The tour was accomplished with no hitches and the places we visited, especially those where we disembarked the bus and walked around were awesome. We learned a great deal about New York. |

| WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THREE DAYS IN NYC
AND THEN OFF TO A NEW ENGLAND CRUISE. THERE WERE 6 IN OUR GROUP
AND WE THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO SEE A LITTLE OF ALL
NEW YORK. WELL, WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY
TO SEE ALL THE SIGHTS OF NYC. STEPHEN DUER IS VERY PROUD OF HIS CITY
AS WELL AS "VERY" INFORMATIVE & INTERTAINING. IN FACT, HE IS DOWN RIGHT FUN. THE TOUR COVERED UPTOWN, MIDTOWN, DOWNTOWN, AND PLACES IN BETWEEN! WE ALL AGREED, THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD HAVE EVER COVERED ALL THE FUN PLACES THERE ARE TOO SEE. FROM SARDI'S
TO GRAND CENTRAL STATION, STATUE OF LIBERTY, A PASTRIMI LUNCH TO DIE FOR, AND MUCH MUCH MORE. IF YOUR GOING TO NEW YORK FOR 1 DAY OR MANY, WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND "MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS".
THANKS A MILLION STEPHEN, IT WAS A WONDERFUL DAY! |

Informative and Fun

| Having visited New York many times my wife and I decided to put it all together with the Royal Bus Tour. Our tour host was very informative and provided many entertaing moments. His ability to interact with the various tourist on the bus was awesome. I recommend this tour for a great and enjoyable way to see and learn much about New York City and not be totally exhausted by the experience. -Wayne from Louisiana |

| The tour guide was knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. The tour was comprehensive and gave us a complete overview of the history of Manahattan. The few stops we made were meaningful and relevant. The short walk in Central Park was lovely and gave us a feel for the beauty of the Park. Steve's information about the various industry neighborhoods was information that was new to me even though I have been to New York many times.
I have already recommended the tour friends, even those in New York, and family members. |

| This tour was recommended by friends who had taken it last year.. We found it wonderful also. We had a small group of varied ages none of us knew each other before tour and we all enjoyed the tour and guide so very much. He really gave us a feel for the city and its feelings and attitutes. We were there doing the 9/11 six year anniversary and he gave us a feel of how New Yorkers are responding to this event that will remain for ever with us.. We were there on a wet and rainny day but that kinda added to the adventure. We highly recommend our quide and this tour to the first time vistor or to the vistor that knows New York and wants to feel the city and have the information of the history of its land marks. We are Park and Recreation professionals and he made the history of Central park and its beauty come alive. We highly recommend this tour! |
