An excellent start to our trip
Fri, Feb 27  9:00 AM dsansome Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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. Dennis & Janet (England)

Good but expensive
Mon, Feb 16  9:00 AM malcolmbain Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

Tour and guide lived up to their name & reputation

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 most wonderful tour, factual and fun

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.

Fantastic & very informative

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.

MARVELOUS OUR GUIDE WAS OUTSTANDING
Wed, Dec 24, 08   9:00 AM rice541 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

One trip does it all
Thu, Dec 18, 08   9:00 AM TeachLong Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Wonderful and enjoyable

Steve was our guide and the tour was fun and very enjoyable. It was well worth the time and cost. It seemed like the tour was a personal tour by a friend. We liked it so much we took the all day tour also. Like the night tour that tour was outstanding. We will recommend it to everyone we know of that is going to NYC. Thanks! Bob and Linda Weir

Disappointment
Sat, Dec 13, 08   6:30 PM Esmerelda Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
There is no City like NYC at Christmastime, so a girlfriend and I took a long weekend to enjoy the city's 'lights,' shows and shopping. The tour description for 'The Holiday Festive Lights Tour' sold me. The cost was a bit more expensive than similar tours, but the itinerary looked unique and fun. The tour master was quite knowledgeable with regard to sites and the city, but he was miserable and a bit rude. EX: The tree at Rockefeller Center was the smallest he's ever seen, the traffic was horrendous, he isn't sophisticated enough to live in Manhattan, his business is slow, and to top off the evening, he offered to drop us off at our respective hotels, but changed his mind because of traffic. While dropping us off illegally on 7th Ave, he became embroiled in a little verbal altercation with police officers. Merry Christmas.

Can not imagine doing NYC without this tour
Fri, Dec 12, 08   9:00 AM fbusiness Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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!

Fun Tour!
Fri, Dec 5, 08   6:30 PM rgjaynes Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I booked the holiday lights tour because of the reviews we read. My husband and I were not disappointed. The tour group was small with only 6 tourists and our tour guide, Jared, was awesome. We met at the appointed place and the tour started right on time. We covered a lot of territory. The stop near the World Trade Center site was so moving. Jared shared so many details with us and photos, too. We visited the building complex right next to the WTC site and the decorations were beautiful along with a very moving memorial to 6 employees from that business who died on 9/11. We also stopped at Wall Street to see and photograph the Christmas tree and lights there. We were scheduled to stop at a pastry shop in Little Italy, but the line of customers was so long that Jared recommended another pastry shop in Little Italy so we stopped there instead. We drove down Fifth Avenue to see the store windows and, of course, the tree at Rockefeller Center. We saw lots of lights and learned a lot of NYC history. The tour was scheduled for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, but lasted 4.

Well Worth It !!!!!!
Sat, Nov 29, 08   6:30 PM micamica2 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
As luck would have it, my teenage daughters and I were the only ones on the tour with Steven the evening we went. Even though there weren't alot of holiday lights up yet, he made the tour interesting and fun and I am so glad we did it. We discovered things about NYC we never would have learned on any of the other tours. Steven was enthusiastic, polite, fun and really knows the city. This is his family business, so he puts his whole heart into it. It was interesting to get his perspective on things and there was no such thing as a stupid question. I highly recommend this tour. We all had a great time. You won't be sorry!!
