great all round view of the city
Sun, Apr 15, 07   9:00 AM kimbowen Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
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.

We learned NY in a day !!
Sat, Apr 14, 07   9:00 AM ThorIvar Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Excellent tour and a great guide. We had just one day in NY and we thought this tour could be a way to see and learn NY as much as possible. It turned out to be an superb tour, with lots of great info, humor, best lunch in the world, and a great round trip on Manhattan. Highly recommended. Regards Thor (the thunder God) and Jøran (You're On!)

In for Politically INCORRECT? Get on the bus!
Sat, Apr 14, 07   9:00 AM janelleg Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
When we started the tour I found Steve to be charming, witty and informed. He had witty comments and sort of teasing and bold. At this point I was a little taken back I turned to see if my family was hearing the same thing, their astonished faces said it all. They rest of the trip did not get better. He gave his political views, social commentary, and race relations hindered the trip. I found myself holding my tongue rather than enjoying the trip. He was very informed however his views at time extraneous and inappropriate left me in a bad mood. At one let go and set him straight.The sentiment was felt on the bus as people made cracks at his "preaching". I also noticed no one leaving a gratuity! New York it a great place to visit and see! I love the city but not the tour.

Fantastic tour - great way to see the city!
Thu, Apr 12, 07   9:00 AM Wharriford Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I highly recommend this tour - it is wonderful! I now know more about New York than our friends who have lived there for years! We were able to see just about everything we wanted to see on this tour. It was a great way to spend our day. It's so much more than your typical tour - it's fun, it's informative, it's interesting, it's taking a day to experience New York.

Great Overview of NYC
Thu, Apr 12, 07   9:00 AM Suburbhen Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

Seeing the Sights with kids
Mon, Apr 9, 07   9:00 AM wfarnfield Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took a morning tour with our two children Kaitlin 11 and Megan 8. Steve was our guide and he quickly developed a rapport with all the group and especially our kids. We had a great time. The morning passed very quickly and we felt very confident to tackle new adventures for the rest of the stay. I was amazed when one of the children actually said they wished that I had booked a full day. Thank you. Wendy and Paul Farnfield (English visitors Easter 2007)

HIghly Recommended
Sat, Apr 7, 07   9:00 AM Nicholas55 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Except for the fact that the driver failed to get us at our chosen designated spot, and we froze from the cold waiting, it won't stop us from saying that Joe, our tour guide was very thorough, witty, very informative, and very detailed - enough to make us appreciate and understand the culture of New York City. We enjoyed the tour so much. Also, the tour was quite extensive, and i do believe we got our money's worth. To the owner, thanks for picking us up, and bringing us to the bus so we won't miss the tour. Again, thank you.

Great value for your tourism dollar!
Fri, Apr 6, 07   9:00 AM aosbourne Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My husband and I took in this tour April 6, 2007. We really enjoyed ourselves! Steve took the time to learn everyone's name and made everyone feel welcome right from the get go. An extremely welcoming and very warm host. Steve is full of all sorts of interesting tidbits and facts about New York City which really made each stopping or passing point that much more interesting. I really enjoyed how he encouraged everyone's participation on the tour with quiz type like questions. Lunch at Katz's deli was a true New York experience. When we arrived the place was certainly crowded! We loved it! We ordered our food and raved about it throughout our lunch - it was truly delicious! They have this interesting ticket system that you MUST follow! Steve explains it fully before you go in so there's no confusion! All in all the tour is fantastic - especially if you are on a short trip to NYC and want to see as much as possible. We only had two full days in NYC and we truly feel like we've see all of it! A great tour for all types of travellers - families, young and old alike!

Steve is consistent and energetic about New York. A good representative for New York City. My fifth tour with him and probably will not be the last.

Royal Bus Tour of NYC - Excellent Experience
Thu, Apr 5, 07   9:00 AM bfranklin1 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Royal Bus tour of NYC. The tour was highly recommended by our friends in North Carolina. Our 17 year old daughter and her friend learned so much about the city in a very short time frame. Steve was so entertaining. His passion for NYC is evident and is shared by all tour members. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone. Several members of our group were on their 5th tour with Steve. I plan to recommend the tour to anyone I know planning a trip to NYC. Thanks so much for sharing NYC with us, Steve. You were fantastic!

Extremely Informational and Entertaining
Tue, Apr 3, 07   9:00 AM dewanagober Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Steve was a fabulous tour guide. He was very entertaining as well as informative. Our group even passed one of the other tour lines and commented about how bored they all seemed to be!!!!! Not the case with our group. We also thought that George, the driver, needed some kind of award for maneuvering the "people mover" in and out of traffic. The only complaint that I had was the lunch stop. I know that it is a favorite of Steve's, but of all the meals that we had over a period of six days, that one was the worst. Maybe I just chose the wrong thing. I didn't get the Pastrami. I got chicken salad instead. Overall, I highly recommend the Marvelous Manhattan tour. If information and details were priced by line item, the price of the Marvelous Manhattan tour is a real bargain!!!!!

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.

A fantastic day in New York
Fri, Mar 30, 07   9:00 AM fmeyer Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
On the day we, my wife and I, had booked the tour for, there was noone else on this tour, but Stephen did the tour altough, what is not naturally. This was the best tour we've ever had, we feeled like exploreing New York with a friend. It was informative, it was greate. Whenever we should be in New York again, we will do a tour with Stephen again.
