Christmas lights tour
|
|||||

| The tour turned out to be a tour of the city, as most of the Christmas lights had still to be turned on. The host tried to make the tour as interesting as possible, but we did book to see the lights, so were very disapointed that they were not available. The tour is obviously being marketed far too early, a point that the host himself admitted. We arrived in plenty of time at the meeting place to find the 'clearly marked' tour bus. There were no 'clearly marked' tour buses. Furthermore, there were no buses with notes in the window either, so we waited around in the cold. When the driver of a small unmarked bus that was parked eventually returned to the vehicle, we approached him to discover that he was the host in a clearly unmarked vehicle. Perhaps someone could make up a note to leave in the window of the vehicle to advise that this is the tour vehicle. Considering the cost of the tour, overall it was a big disapointment and not value for money. | ||||||

Amazing Experience-Worth the trip

| Steve was absolutely the BEST. My family and I (including my 8 year old daughter) had a wonderful time on the day tour. We not only saw the sites, but learned a lot about their history (and while my daughter, Cadie missed a day of school she learned a lot about the history of N.Y. City). Steve's personal interaction with the guests on the bus encouraged us to form relationships with one another as well. He not only knew us by name, but where we were from as well. We took another tour while we were there and this one far exceeded the other tour (from a different company). Whenever we return (one day soon-when it's warmer), we will definately book another tour. It was worth the money and the time. Thanks again Steve and company! | ||||||

| It was a great first day in New York City. Our guide was very informative and fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has not been to New York City. The only downside was the lunch. My daughter is a vegetarian and the deli did not offer anything for her. The other restaurants which were in the vacinity we terrible. We had the worst meal in NYC that day. | ||||||

| Steve is terrific: He doesn't bore you with a ceaseless flow of trivia but rather informs you and shows you a fantastic slice of NYC. It is really obvious that he is a committed NYer who gets a kick out of his product. There are MANY guides in this city. I am one of them. There are a number of good guides in the city but a vastly greater number of awful ones. Steve is a VERY good guide. Highly recommended | ||||||

| Friendly and very informative. This was our second trip to New York. I got to know New York in one day compared to two days from the last time. I felt like having my own chauffeur. The only thing I recommend is Steve have a portable microphone so you don't need to lose your voice as much. I made copies from the internet to share with my friends and their friends. Keep up the good work. | ||||||

| After you have spent the day with Steve, you will know New York. If you want a real insider's view, take this trip. Go early in your stay because this tour will clarify what else you might like to do. Many stops, almost every area touched from Downtown to Harlem. Just be sure to laugh at Steve's jokes so his feelings won't be hurt. Steve loves New York and after 7 1/2 hours in a van with Steve, we loved it, too! | ||||||

Fantastic Organized Tour with Opinionated Comments

| We thoroughly enjoyed our fantastic tour with our host Steven at the wheel. Stevens supurb knowledge of New York City and the surrounds along with his humorous presentation was most enjoyable. From time to time Steven's opinions of none tour related items and of items of current events and/or political happenings were both outright funny and interesting. A full day of informative sight seeing and enjoyable conversation. Well worth the price of admission! Michael Kilgore | ||||||

Disappointed with change in bus

| I booked this rather pricey tour for a fcouple reasons. 1. It was recommended by Zerve. 2. The type of bus. I received excellent service up until my pick up. Shortly after booking I found out that the first pick up was at the Waldorf - so I asked to be picked up there so that we could have a chance at the first row of seats. This was all accomodated and confirmed via emails. The actual experience: Not only were we NOT on the list for pick up at the Waldorf (as the tour guide indicated) there were other people on the bus ahead of us - so it was not the first stop and we had no chance of getting the front seats. The bus was not the beautiful one described but rather a cramped mini-van which was difficult to manouver in and out of and as well, you could see very little. A coach would have been much better. But we were looking forward to the 'special' bus and it was not there. The host indicated that he was a victim of the current economic troubles - and that's why his bus is gone. He said he'd make it up with the information he had to offer. Well at the price paid, we wanted both the information and the bus. Interestingly at the end of the tour he told us that this mini van had 5 more days to go and that his new bus (the 'nice' style) would be in his hands at that point. So he lied to us at the beginning - suggesting that the economic climate was the reason is bus was gone. Overall, disappointing - we should have been given ample notice to allow us to properly decide and take appropriate steps to research and book into another tour. | ||||||

The Best City Tour
|

| My husband and I have just returned from a mini around the world holiday. We visited many cties and took numerous city tours. This tour with Steve was by far the best. Steve was such good fun and full of interesting information about his vibrant city. I wish I had a tape recorder to record all the information that he fed us. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see New York. The Pastrami on Rye at Katz deli is something you must try for lunch in NY. | ||||||

Absolutely the best

| My husband and I enjoyed this tour and learned so much about NYC that we wouldn't have learned any other way. It gave us a great overview and a sense of what we wanted to go back and see at our leisure. Steve was wonderful and entertaining and so knowledgeable of the city. Personally,I wasn't impressed with Katz deli,only because it was so confusing and unorganized and of course we were there at the height of lunch hour. I only had a hotdog because that was the shortest line to maneuver through. However,my husband loved the place and raved about the pastrami. The tour was well worth the money and gave us a great memory of NYC. | ||||||

A Must-Do In New York

| It was our first time traveling to the city, and we traditionally don't really like tours. We decided to do it, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. It was the perfect way to see a little of everything and learn all about the city when we first arrived. The rest of our trip was going back to all of our favorite sights we saw on the tour! Steve was an excellent, very informative tour guide. We loved it and highly recommend it if you're trying to decide whether to do a tour or not. It was small and intimate - much better than the double decker, oversized tours that you see! | ||||||
