| My wife Mona and I took our tour on May 18th, 2007. We were met on time by Steve our tour guide. The tour lasted nearly all day and we saw all of the most interesting highlights of NYC. Steve was well versed, interesting and very well informed. Steve actually made the tour as successful as we both considered it to be. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in a visually comprehensive, articulate and historical narrative of The Big Apple. Jerry & Mona Cohen Milwaukee Wisconsin | ||||||

| I really enjoyed our tour with Steve. He had a lot of good information about the area and buildings. I only wish that we would have had more photo opportunities. It was hard to take photo from the van that was moving. I have recommended this tour to my neighbor that will be visiting New York the week of Monday March 19. | ||||||

| I originally signed up for the half day tour but extended it to a full day after experiencing the morning portion of tour. This is the best overall tour I have been on. | ||||||

| This tour was quite entertaining and we learned a lot, as we had never been to New York before. Learned a lot about the history, and now the locations on Law and Order actually make sense. However, we took the tour on a day where there were only 4 people (2 young couples), so Stephen was the driver and the guide. I can't help but think that it would have been better if he had been able to leave the van, which he was not able to do very often. For example, we were sorta dumped at Grand Central Station and told to be back in 10 minutes. I think it probably would have been nice to have Stephen actually go inside with us to tell us a little more about the history and the restoration. Nothing wrong with the way it was done, but I can't help but think that it must be better when the group is a little bigger, thus justifying both a driver and a narrator, and allowing Stephen to focus on the talking. While Stephen was a fine guide when talking about the buildings, the history, the locales, etc, he seemed to be a little bit of a loose cannon when he "went off script." At one point when the five of us were waiting to cross a street, Stephen told the only other people on the tour (with me and my husband standing next to them) how they are both beautiful and will have lovely children. We waited, but nothing was said to me and my husband, and we are roughly the same age. I was furious (not so much that he said it, as the other couple was quite fetching, but that he didn't have the courtesy to wait until my husband and I wandered off) and wanted to grab a cab and leave. Luckily, my husband talked me out of it. Ultimately, I was happy that we stayed, as we learned quite a bit, but the ire and embarrassment that I felt at that moment is unforgettable, especially coming from someone in a service industry. Along those lines, I felt Stephen's commentary at the former site of the World Trade Center to be a bit pedantic, biased, and unneeded. It made me rather uncomforable, and I can only imagine what an international visitor might think of his comments. In the end, I found the tour to be informative and well-designed, and would recommend it (with a grain of salt) to my family and friends. | ||||||

| Steve, the tour guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable. I will recommend anyone who takes this tour to ask for Steve. He made the city come alive for us and I believe I can find my way anywhere, thanks to him. To take a tour with any one else is a great loss. It was well worth the money. | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| As a native New Yorker enjoying the tour with family from out of town I found the tour to be highly informative. I was made aware of so many interesting facts related to the history of New York which I had never known and certainly would consider another tour if the opportunity presented. | ||||||

| the tour was the best ever. It was knowledgable and our tour guide Steve was well informed and he was an excellent tour guide. I wished that we had taken the tour in the beginning of vacation instead of the end so much to see we would have liked to go back over some of the interesting points that Steve pointed out. We stopped to take pictures and we were given enough time to reflect everything that Steve was telling us. I would give the tour a five star. | ||||||

| I am a native New Yorker who decided to take a tour so I could get a different perspective of the city in which I have lived all my life, and I absolutely loved my tour with Marvelous Manhattan Tours, led by the knowlegable and hilarious "King of New York" Steven who kept us laughing the whole time when he wasn't filling us in on the history of the sights. Furthermore the vehicle in which we rode was clean, comfortable and luxurious. You get more than a tour with Marvelous Manhattan. You get a lesson on how to navigate the streets, neighborhoods and people of this complex and exciting metropolis. This is the best there is. | ||||||

| This tour was very very good. The timetable was well planned and the vehicle was comfortable. We saw and learned a lot and our guide Steve was not only wonderfully attentive and kind person but also very professional. He was easy to listen to and set the holiday mood to the group. He also gave us a very wide and deep view of New York now and before as well as many good tips and advice for further exploring the great city. Stops were well planned and as we got to explore them on our own even if shortly one got a better feel of the atmosphere in different places. Even a critical teenager thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I would certainly recommend it. | ||||||

Must do tour of NYC

| In all the years of travel, this is by far the best tour we have been on. By limiting the number of people and using a small bus, the tour is very personalized. Steve quickly got to know the name of every person on the bus. His knowledge of NYC is truly excellent and there no questions which could stump him. We took the all-day tour which I would highly recommend. It covers all parts of Manhattan and Harlem. Very, very interesting and entertaining. Overall, highly recommended. | ||||||

| We took this tour on the first day of our visit to New York and I recommend doing that to get a good feel for the area. The tour is well organised and the service is on a personal level, as there are not many passengers at each time (I think the maximum is 12, but I'm not sure) | ||||||

| This was our first time in New York and the Royal Tour was ideal we saw all the main attractions with 15 mins to look around on each event plus take photos there is so much to see in New York you can not do it all on your first trip so this tour was amazing Stephen had a wealth of knowledge so helpful with a very happy personality and the people we met on the tour bus were so nice, we also stopped for 45 mins for lunch at Katz restaurant which was really great don't order to much food the portions were so big. I can thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone young or old you will have a fabulous time. Thank you so much Carol & Tony | ||||||
