A delightful and imformative tour
Sat, Dec 27, 08   9:00 AM waynecooley Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Not only was this a delightful and relaxing way to see several neighborhoods of the city but was also very informative as to the natives that inhabit the island. You really get a feel of everday life as well as the homes, and gossip of the famous and wealthy. Mike, our guide, loves the city and the people who live there. Would recommend to anyone who wants to skip the hassle of the large buses and impersonal tour guides.

Very enjoyable! Highly recommended!
Sat, Nov 8, 08   9:00 AM scshanks Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My wife, daughter, and I experienced the Rich & Famous tour in November 2008 and found it very enjoyable. Jim Dykes was our guide and proved to be very knowledgable about the city in general and specifically the rich and famous. The tour group was small and intimate. The tour was a combination of bus ride and short walks and included adequate breaks with one stop at a local bakery. Jim even dropped us off at Grand Central Terminal and provided a short tour of the terminal at no additional cost. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Well Worth The Money

The tour given by Mike was awesome. He was humorous, well informed and provided many interesting anecdotes, not just about celebrities, but also about New York City, its real estate, etc. I trhoroughly enjoyed the tour and it was great that we got to get off the bus and tour some neighborhoods by foot. I highly recommend this tour.

highlight of our trip!

Jim was very informative. We enjoyed all the tidbits he threw our way. It was nice having the bus trip stop a few times and be able to get out and walk and still hear lots of interesting info. Would highly recommend this tour, you won't be disappointed!

Your tour made us fall in love with New York!
Sat, Aug 9, 08   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!

Too fast, too hot and couldn't see
Sat, Jul 26, 08   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, 08   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.

Fun and Informative! Great way to see the city!
Sat, May 3, 08   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!

Be driven and learn about upper N.Y.City
Sat, Nov 24, 07   9:00 AM schumaker Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
It was a delightful fun tour. Our guide knew such interesting facts and triva about NY City which made the tour very interesting. It was fun to find out where celebrities live and shop. It's truely amazing how much celebrities are willing to pay for their apartments. It also gaves you insight into the neighborhoods of the upper East and West side of town. It helped us realize the city is made up of a bunch of wonderful little neighborhoods, each unique in it own way . Each offering wonderful stories about the people who live there. We learned about Central Park and the Museums, and also what was happening at them. It was a small group, so you were able to ask questions. It was a relaxing and informative fun morning. Our guides were great!

Great Tour!
Sat, Nov 8, 08   9:00 AM bemoor Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I were in town for only a couple of days, and we were interested in touring around the Central Park areas of Manhattan. We were looking for a tour that had a more personal feel to it than the typcial double decker tours, and this tour was perfect. We took this tour on a Saturday morning with Jim Dykes. Jim provided a lot of history, current facts, and gossip about the various areas and sites we were touring. The stories were not only informative, but really entertaining. The tour lasted just over three hours which fit perfectly into our weekend. We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour!!
Sat, Sep 6, 08   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.

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!!
