Excellent Tour!!
Sat, Sep 6  2:00 PM Lisalathrop Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Jim Dykes was an EXCELLENT tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about where stars live in New York. He also spent considerable more time taking my mother and me to other sites (e.g., the Women's Republican Club to get a photograph from a terrace). We also enjoyed chatting with the mayor's girlfriend and admiring her dogs. We could not have asked for a better tour guide. Jim also gave us the confidence to get around the City so that we did not constantly get lost. I definitely will take another tour with Jim the next time I visit the City with my husband. I highly recommend this tour. Great job, Jim!! Thank you.

Your tour made us fall in love with New York!
Sat, Aug 9  2:00 PM AnnStaple1 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had a WONDERFUL tour with Rich & Famous Tours! We've been to New York many times but you showed us a special side of New York. I have never enjoyed a motorcoach tour as much as I did last week. Your tour was just a wealth of information about New York and its best-kept secrets. It was so completely different from those big, impartial commercial bus tours. Your guide was so kind and gave us a really personal tour which was really appreciated. Everyone in our little group was extremely happy including me...they could not stop talking about how knowledgeable the guide was about the various landmarks, gossip and also where the celebrities lived. And the fact that we spotted Drew Barrymore and Kelly Ripa with her family was the best! We are definitely doing the tour again next year when we return to New York! Thank you for doing such a GREAT job!

Wonderful Tour! Highly Recommended and Fun!!!!!
Sat, Aug 9  2:00 PM Rigazio Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Thank you for making our FIRST trip to New York so memorable! When we asked our 12 year old what her favorite part of our New York trip was, she said "The Rich & Famous Tour!" It's so true...It was a memorable experience that we are still talking about. We loved seeing where many of our favorite celebrities live (and how much they paid!) and hearing the wonderful stories of New York history and unique tidbits. We had already taken the double decker buses but they just don't compare to your tour.

Too fast, too hot and couldn't see
Sat, Jul 26  9:00 AM debdwill Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The tour driver drove too fast and we couldn't see what the tour guide was showing us in time to take any pictures or even really see what the guide was talking about. The bus's air conditioning was broken. We didnt' see any of the shops that were supposed to be rich thrift shops. We really couldn't see anything in the van. I wouldn't recommend this tour for the price.

Good to certain point.
Sat, Jul 26  9:00 AM BillDiver Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

A fun tour
Sat, Jun 7  2:00 PM AmyIngram Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!!

Great short tour of upper side
Sat, May 10  9:00 AM jacbowie Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

Fun and Informative! Great way to see the city!
Sat, May 3  2:00 PM juliemberes Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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!

Best thing we did in NY!
Sat, May 3  2:00 PM detoxqueen Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
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. Sharon Hoehner

it was the best tour i have ever been on...
Sat, Apr 19  2:00 PM yminfante Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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. yri infante

Great Tour!!
Sat, Mar 29  9:00 AM cwsoto1 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!
