| We enjoyed the guide and the first couple of hours. After that, the comments and some of the points of interest were redundant. The guide was very knowledgeable on the sites, and great little side-stories, however the last hour or so, seemed like filler.
Of most concern was that the buses air cond. was not working and made the trip unpleasant. We thought that, that should have been acknowledged earlier and a new bus sent out to meet us along the route. We ended up getting off at an early downtown stop and went by foot to our own next sight.
It was generally well done, but could have been about an hour shorter in length. Still worth the money with an air cond. bus. |

| The Celebrity Sight-Seeing Tour was a lot of fun! We did not see any celebrities on the tour, but learned where we might see some later, which we did. We saw Kelly Ripa, Mario Lopez and Eva Longoria!! We were so excited!! |

| Very much enjoyed my tour. I found it to be very informative, more personal and a nice change from the big commercial tours. Our guide was gracious with a terrific sense of humor and had a superior knowlegde of the city of NY. Highly recomended! |

| My husband and I attended this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a great way to see the upper east, upper west, harlem, central park, if you are on limited time or don't want to do all the walking (i am pregnant).
We liked the fact the guide gave brief and interesting information, and we then took notes as to what locations we wanted to spend more time at.
We were particulary interested in the old money and properties of New York and this tour gave great information on this.
Great tour. |

| Jim did a great job giving us a flavor of New York City and a peek into the lives of the Rich and Famous. Everyone in our group of 9 (ages 20-70) caught a glimpse of something that interested them. This is a great way to see the Upper East and Upper West sides. We loved the stop at the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park. What a beautiful spot in the city especially with all the spring flowers! Thanks, Jim, for a fun afternoon. We would highly recommend this tour and plan on doing another one when we return to the city! |

| My teenage daughter and I had a fun-filled weekend of shopping, musicals and a Gala event but this tour was really the highlight of our four days in NY. Three hours of seeing celebrity homes, hearing the NY society history and getting the juicy bits of gossip made it well worth every penny! Our guide kept us entertained with personal stories and knows some of the stars himself.
We took a short walk in Central Park as well so that covered one more thing that we wanted to do but wouldn't have had time for. As a former florist and gardener, I love parks and we saw what is probably the prettiest part of it, the French and English garden and crabapple lane. Great photo opportunity!
We now know that people must be insane or fantastically wealthy to have a place in NYC. I mean, $30million for an apartment???? I'll take a country home any day! We saw the locations of where some of our favorite movies and tv shows are filmed.
Definitely a 5 star tour!!!! Next time we go to NY, we're doing this again.

| i really enjoyed this tour. i usually take 2-3 vacations a year for the past 5 years this trip was by far the best trip ever... i have been to nyc three times this was the best mainly because your tour was so educational and entertaining i saw a side of nyc that only a local would see. i really enjoyed our tour i must be honest there was four of us on the tour and my husband and my friends husband were kind of not looking forward to our tour as they are not into celebrity gossip... well they were pleasantly surprised and it has been the topic of conversation ever since. the tour was custom built for everyone to enjoy. thanks for that. overall i really enjoyed the tour and well defintely do it again and will recommend it to everyone i know.
thanks for make this the best vacation ever.

| Thank you for the wonderful tour! Jim Dykes was the most knowledgeable tour guide I have ever encountered. In our three-hour tour, Jim was able to share a ton of information on where various celebrities live, shop, dine, hang out, etc. In addition to providing a lot of history, Jim shared some celebrity gossip and scandals that we had not heard before. This is definitely a unique tour I would highly recommend to everyone! |
