| I booked this to save my parents - who are senior citizens - the hassle of the hop on, hop off buses. It was the best thing about our visit. Despite visiting New York before on a number of occasions, I learned so much and my parents, first-timers in the city, were absolutely thrilled. The whole trip was a lot of fun with a great atmosphere and plenty of chances to ask questions. Steve has all the answers too; he's a knowledgeable and entertaiining tour guide who clearly loves what he does. The best value for money of the whole trip. Book this tour for your first day and you won't regret it. Looking forward to the upcoming tours of the other boroughs (or burrows, as they say!) for my next visit. |

| What a way to start a short break in New York. Steve was an absolute gem !! very knowledgeable and humorous, kept us interested and amused all day. It was our 40th anniversary and Steve and our fellow travellers made it a day for us to remember. I cannot rate this too highly. Thanks Steve for a tremendous day out.

| This was a tour recommended by friends. It was an enjoyable experience but expensive. Worth considering alternative tours that appear similar for far less money (about $60). Perhaps we were unlucky as there were only 8 of us on the day and two of them were not booked on the full day trip and consequently left at midday. Avoid Mondays as first stop of the day is closed.
On a positive note the Guide/Driver was a nice guy and immensely knowledgable - an encyclopaedia of information.
Glad we did the trip as it was our first visit to NY.
New York is just amazing! |

| Marvellous Manhattan tours gives you exactly what it says and Stephen is a truly great guide. He is passionate about New York and not only shows you all the main sights but gives you information and takes you to places that really makes you understand this great City and how is continually changing. I had been on another tour on my first time to NYC but this was the first time for my son. I saw and learnt more things on this tour and we both thought it was fascinating and a great day. Well done Stephen and long may you continue to show the true New York to countless other tourists.
ps. the pastrami at Katz's was fantastic |

| The host, Steve, was fun, knowledgable and a real hoot.
I was sorry to see the tour come to an end, I could have driven around all day with him. After the tour, my group felt that we were New Yorkers from birth. |

| Traveling with my 2 daughters 23, & 21 yrs. old. We have been to NYC before but this was the best tour ever. We all loved our personable guide & the small group size. You see much of Manhattan & get off the van 7-8 times with a delicious deli stop for lunch. I will definitely go on this tour again. |

| MY HUSBAND AND I WENT ON TWO TOURS, CHRISTMAS LIGHT TOUR ON THE EVENING OF THE 23RD. THERE WERE ONLY 4 OF US, MY HUSBAND AND I AND A YOUNG COUPLE FROM AUSTRALIA. THE EVENING TOUR WAS BOOKED DIRECTLY WITH MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS. OUR GUIDE (I AM SORRY I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT YOU MUST HAVE A RECORD OF WHO IT WAS) WAS OUTSTANDING. HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY IS UNBELIEVABLE AND HE KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT TO MAKE SURE WE SAW EVERY SINGLE DECORATION HE COULD SQUEEZE INTO 3 HOURS. WE HAD THE SAME GUIDE ON THE 24TH AND AGAIN HE WAS OUTSTANDING. JUST CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HIM, HE WAS WARM, KIND AND VERY PATIENT AS THERE WERE FOUR KIDS ON THE CITY TOUR ON THE 24TH. IN ADDITION TO MY HUSBAND AND I ON THE 24TH THERE WERE 3 OTHER ADULTS AND 4 KIDS.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARVELOUS MANHATTAN TOURS AND WOULD MOST CERTAINLY USE THEM AGAIN.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GUIDES BOSS KNOWS WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB HE IS DOING OUT THERE. |

| My husband had never seen NYC so we joined this tour and were very pleased with the pace and the personal touch. We loved the introduction of NY terms and the background info on various sites. We felt like we had an excellent overview of the city and we easily went back to visit special places on our own. |

| First time to NYC. We could not have had trip we did and enjoyed ourselves more than expected, had we not started our visit with this tour. Steve was outstanding, truly cared about the city and made all of us feel as a special guest of both New York and his. Steve is a rare find.
Starting the visit off with this tour allowed us to then maximize our time in the city. Extremely valuable and should be mandatory for all first time visitors and should be considered for most of the residents of the city to appreciate where they live.
Great great great. Please do yourself the favor and do this tour.
Thank you for making our trip that much better. |

It was very informative and covered everything we wanted to see! Our tour giude was friendly and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour in particular!!! We had a great time! |
