Great Tour Providing Lots of Insight and Info

Stephen, the tour guide, is full of information about NYC which he is bursting to share with you. While he takes you all over town he will explain to you how the city grew, the difference between districts and neighborhoods, who lives and/or works where and why. When the tour is over you will feel that you have a much better understanding of NYC.

We enjoyed the tour and felt that the items included were excellent. You covered a great deal in the day. We also very much enjoyed lunch at Katz. We felt that there was too much political view given and we felt uncomfortable. As international visitors, you suggested that we would not necessarily see things the same as the Americans and that may be so, but it would be nice to not be singled out when we don't even know anybody else in the group. We realize that Ground Zero will bring discussion, but as the tour guide we feel that you should be impartial and not let your own opinions come forward

Glad I am a New Yorker
Wed, Apr 26, 06   9:15 AM DianePerfett Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I did not know what to expect. I was born and brought up in New York and moved to Texas 3 years ago after remarrying. Many of the women here had expressed an interest in seeing New York and altho I would have been content to take them to the tourist attractions........after we saw them - what then..... Steve, our guide, took us to places I had never seen nor known about. He also took us to places I was quite familiar with. Lunch at Katz' was a nostalgic part of the trip as I had eaten there many times as a child and an adult. He explained everything in great detail and left no question unanswered. As a New Yorker I can only say that this was more than I expected - especially Harlem. These women walked away with a totally different view of New York - no fear - people friendly and hardly any dirt. Thank you Steve for the time and trouble you went to to be explicit. It takes alot of studying to explain everything and I admire his hard work. I would do it again if others want to come here and need someone to help them over the "hump". Thank you.

Stephen was a great guide, extremely informative and funny. He gave our small group a rare insight into some lesser known aspects of NY life. I would heartily recommend the tour to friends.

What a great way to see Manhattan
Sat, May 6, 06   9:15 AM Meribeth Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We enjoyed our very entertaininng 6 hours with Steve. It gave us a great overview and we were able to determine what to go back and see in more detail. I would highly recommend it as a "first day" excursion.

Informative history of Manhattan
Mon, May 8, 06   9:15 AM tsach77713 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Steve set the tone for our NY trip. He speaks very distinctly with good humor interspersed in his dialog. We learned many historical facts about Manhattan. He gave suggestions for other tourists sites to visit as well. I would highly recommend this tour.

A Must do Tour
Fri, May 26, 06   9:15 AM RJL400 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Steve was knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about his city. He shared his knowledge with the tour and we all learnt things about New York we would never have known if not for the tour. He also shared some of his ides and thoughts which was great to here things from the perspective of someone who lives in the city and travels around it every day. I would recommend every first time visitor take tis tour.

make sure your tour is with the king of ny city
Sun, May 28, 06   9:15 AM bcollins Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Other
I hate guided tours and normally go it alone with a map but was recommended to the king of new york city and came away with a font of knowledge about new york and the people that live there. There were three of us aged between 73 and 13 and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our day. The tour was in a comfortable bus, ample refreshment and toilet breaks and stopping at Katz's deli was a true new york experience. So my advice is - if you are going to take any tours, make sure it is with the king of new york.

Best Tour in NYC
Mon, May 29, 06   9:15 AM jmaxwell Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I would recommend this tour for anyone. My wife and I brought our 2 kids (ages 6 and 9) to NYC and they loved the tour. Steve is very personable and really wants his customers to enjoy the city and learn. The best thing about this tour is the small size; only 11 or 12 of us on the tour. Probably the price weeds out a lot of people; I believe we paid $100 per ticket for each adult and about $70 for each kid. Believe me, it's worth every penny. You can ask questions at any time; this is much better than the large tour buses you see rolling thru the city. It's like having your own personal tour guide. Steve is a wealth of knowledge about New York. We took the all day tour; lasts from 9:30 to 3:30.

Educational and fun.

Great tour - small group which allowed easy access to the guide for questions and able to hear the answers. Very informative and interesting. A better appreciation of New York after the tour. The teenagers even enjoyed it, so it had to be good.

It's the best!
Mon, Jun 5, 06   9:15 AM JudyRewis Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We took this trip last week and it was WONDERFUL! We had taken a similar tour of NYC several years ago and this one is far more comprehensive and informative. Steve is excellent as a guide. He made the sights and places so interesting. He is so dynamic and entertaining as he shares his knowledge and love of New York City. The tour was inclusive of many of the places we wanted to see. We did not have to spend time figuring out where and how to get to places (and probably getting lost) and thus had time to do other exciting things. The day passed too quickly! You get what you pay for and this tour is worth the price you pay! If you are wanting a tour this is the one to choose!

a brilliant way to start a trip to NY city
Mon, Jun 5, 06   9:15 AM esmehagard Female 60-69 International Tourist(s) Other
We were recommended to take this tour by friends who had done it and we were not disappointed. This was our first trip to NY and the tour was a perfect way to see the main sights and get a good feel for the city. Steve's depth of knowledge, his enthusiasm, his humour and the clarity of his delivery make him an ideal guide. The bus was comfortable and the duration of the tour just right. I and my partner have done quite a few city tours and this was far and away the best we have ever done. Absolutely brilliant and thank you so much.
