Jen was fantastic! Had such a fun time on the bus getting to see the city lights at night with some fun people.
Cheri_V, Mar 2024
We showed up 15 min early looking for the bus at the meeting point. I messaged the company right away with no response until two days later. Was told later that was not the correct meeting point even though that was the information given for the tour. I asked for a refund and they denied it.

We were celebrating my 7 year old grandson's birthday and decided to take the night tour of NYC as the last event of our vacation. Shelley and Libni were both amazing...you could hear the passion in her voice!!

First time in NYC. It was fun! Easy to see the city and get my bearings. Would recommend to others. Thanks!

Sean Hanson was an incredible, enthusiastic, fun tour guide during the Night Tour. Karl W. was our safe, focused driver who did an exceptional job, especially with protests occurring in the city. They both had our safety and satisfaction in mind during the whole tour!!! Sean’s knowledge of the city was quite impressive and his sense of humor entertained all of us! Would highly recommend the Night Tour for all visitors to the city!!!! It was enjoyed by all of us, including our 9 year old daughter!!!!

Live guide was excellent, and we saw a lot more than we saw on day tours.
Driver was good too, didn't rush the tour.

Our least favorite thing we did on our trip to New York. The guide spoke broken English, the earbuds or plug-ins didn't all work. We were in the covered section on the top, which was good. Cleaning the windows would help a lot.

I would have liked it more if the bus took us not just to the boroughs but also past more landmarks, like the Empire State building. We saw it only from a distance.
The tour guide was very loud; repetitive jokes
ROBERT_J, Oct 2019
Unforgettable experience, we enjoyed it with my family, the trip was pleasant, punctual, extensive. I recommend it 100%.
Alina_H, Oct 2019
We arrived early and inquired if we had to wait until our allotted time. The attendant told us no, he checked us in and we got on the bus. Guide was extremely well informed but he was at times hard to understand because he talked extremely fast and slurred his words.
