| Most in depth review of such a diverse place as NYC. I would thusiastically recommend this trip to anyone that is traveling to NYC. He prepared us for a very exciting place by giving us the lingo and orienting us so we knew where to go and how to get there. Very, very enjoyable; we could have come back for day two of the tour. |

| The best tour ever from all my worldly travels.
This tour was about commitment, dedication, insight, passion and words of wisdom about New York. All the books, television, and movies about New York can't capture the essence that Steve expresses on this wonderful Marvelous Manhatten Tour of New York city . Steve should be a broadcaster. He possess the personaltiy, knowledge and wisdom to communicate the soul of the city that never sleeps.

| The tour was quite enjoyable.. Steve is a wealth of knowledge of NY and shares a lot of interesting information that you wouldn't normally get on the scripted mass tours.
His personality is one built for entertainment... he keeps everyone laughing and shares his personal opinion willingly, giving you the impression of a very personalized tour interaction with a new friend.
For those looking for a lot of NY site photo oppourtunites, they are not as plentiful as a walking tour, however, I was more interested in knowing the history and the understanding of how NY was, and is today... mix in a little gossip of the local celebraties and you've got a great day ahead... the tour route itself is very good with a great deal to see...and the number of walks outside the bus are just right.
Lunch at Katz's was an experience onto itself... great pastrami!!
Thanks Steve.. I had an awesome day.
Highly recommended tour |

| I really enjoyed our tour of NY. Instead of just focusing on the main tourist stops Steve showed us the city through a local's eyes. It is a great way to start your visit to NYC. Lunch was spectacular! |

| i thought this trip was great fun and informative of the city. A great trip to learn your way round the city. The host was great fun and made the day very enjoyable. I would recommend this trip as soon as you were in the city because it gives you a great over all look at the city and learns you the lay out of the city. I have been to the city many times and still enjoyed it very much. |

| I took this tour on the day before I left NY and what a fantastic way to finish off my wonderful trip! Joe, our tour guide, was perfect - a true new yorker with a love and knowledge of the city which made you want to go back!
A great way to start any trip to NY because you get to see the places you might like to go and see some more of. It was great to sit back and be driven all around, we were a nice small group on the day I went and so it was a chance to chat more with the tour guide.
I would highly recommend this tour, it was an insight into the city and the day just flew by! Thanks Joe! |

| 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!

| I've been on a variety of tours throughout my life, but rarely have I been on a tour that left me with such a "feeling" for the area as this one did. Rather than just a series of facts and figures, Stephen gave us the real flavor of New York. He described the people in places in such a way that you could really imagine what it would be like living there. In addition, rather than stopping for lunch at a sterile "Wendy's-type environment", he took us to a real New York deli -- Katz's -- and we ate with the locals.
Stephen's energy level was amazing. I really appreciated the way he "told it like it is" instead of simply spouting off tired, politically safe facts. The tour was a great overview of New York. The next step would be if you could offer some specialized tours where maybe you just see two or three places in more detail. This was perfect for my first visit though.
For those people who want a traditional non-emotional "to the left you see the Empire State Bldg." kind of tour, this may not be for you. But if you want a high energy in your face tour that will leave you with a real taste of New York, then i highly recommend it. |
