| We had been on the tour with Steve November after 9/11. Our family of four were the only ones on the tour so it was extremely personalized and we all enjoyed it. When we returned to NYC 5/20/08 with extended family we were on the tour bus with others. It was excellent and he still personalized it, making it fun and informative. He does an excellent job of not just familiarizing you with the city, but teaching you how to maneuver in it. He uses humor, a loud voice, and good information. I highly recommend taking the full day tour at the beginning of your vacation. You can then decide what you want to return to for more in depth time. The day went by so fast and is great for all age groups. | ||||||

| This was the best tour. Even though we flew in that morning and were way tired from being up all night we loved it. Our tour guide did great!! he was so helpful and very knowlegeble. His driver was sick and so he was all alone but he did great you would never have known he did it any different! I would reccommned that everyone take this tour on their first day in the city just to get to know the city first! we would of been lost without this tour! Thanks for a great tour!!! | ||||||

| I took this same tour last August with my teenagers and we loved it!! This time I brought my 11 year old, my mother (76 years old) and a friend (who had never been to NYC). This tour provides a wonderful and complete overview of Manhattan. Steve is very knowlegable with a great sense of humor. I would recommend this to anyone, any age. | ||||||

| What a great tour! Steve provided a personalized and informative tour with his terrific sense of humor. Even our teenager enjoyed it! His love of NYC definitely comes out in his commentary. We started out with the half day morning tour and ended up paying for the afternoon portion because we were having such a good time. Lunch at Katz's Deli was excellent!! | ||||||

Making the most out of rain

| 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. | ||||||

Introduction to New York
|
|||||
| Mon, Apr 28, 08 9:00 AM | WinchamGirl | Female | 60-69 | International Tourist(s) | Family Without Children | |
| 1. The guide was very animated, friendly and knowledgable (but did have a bit of an angry sulk when a couple of people were a bit late back to the bus - in fact he ignored them as they got on). 2. Tour was a very good introduction for New York novices like us. 3. The Katz Deli needs to be taken off the itinerary. The food was horrible, the place was scruffy and the prices extortionate. The guide made us feel obiged to have lunch there, and why anyone needs that much meat in a sandwich is completely beyond me! A horrible experience. Kind regards | ||||||

| We highly recommend the Marvelous Manhattan Tour with Steve. Great 'first day' activity if you're spending a few days in Manhattan. Not only was his humor enjoyable, he gave good info about the history of many of the sights. He also taught us about the different boroughs and how the grid is layed out for Manhattan so we could navigate the island with more ease if we planned to venture out again on our own. | ||||||

You must go on this tour!!!

| From beginning to end, the most entertaining and informative tour of Manhattan. Steve answered all questions with knowledge, humor and professionalism. I would take it again just to enjoy a tour of NY and not have to navigate, cab or subway to so many fun and interesting sites. Please keep up the excellent tour. A great value for the price. | ||||||

| The sites that we got to see were very interesting but the tour guide was too wordy! It would of been nice to stop somewhere along the way to buy some souvenirs also. My friends and I enjoyed the tour but wished that we got to stop somewhere and buy some things along the way. | ||||||

| We liked the knowledge of the tour guide We fell for the cost of this tour there should have been more time spent on walking various ares of the city getting the feel of the areas.. When we talk to friends who have taken other tours we feel they recieved more value. We would not recommend this to anyone under the age of 80. | ||||||

| Steve, our guide, admitted to being under the weather. He brought his two children along with him. Neither of these conditions detracted from the valuable service he provided. He was courteous and very informative. Steve first gave us an overview of what he would be covering with his tour. He talked about the boroughs, the layout of New York, and he went over some terms that we needed to know as we traversed Manhattan. This initial explanation helped us immensely. Steve shared knowledge about New York that helped us to understand New Yorkers. He gave more details than other tour guides gave us. Although under the weather, he injected humor, he was engaging and very helpful. | ||||||

| As a first time visitor to The Big Apple, it was recommended to me by a co-worker to take this tour. I'm glad that I did! Our tour guide was great and so knowledgeable. Since there were only a few of us that day, it felt like we were on a private tour of the city. All the stops were great but the information was even better. It was great to learn things like the way the streets are mapped out and how the city is broken down. It was so helpful when getting out on your own. Whaterver questions we asked, he was able to answer. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the city. | ||||||
