Unforgettable NY

Gregor_v, Aug 2022

We spend the day with Joel and Freddy. Joel is entertainer and quide. Coincidental he had lived in Amsterdam. My university city so we had a lot to chat about Excellent explanation of NY history and buildings. Amazing calm driving from Freddy made the day unforgettable We traveled with a nearly 2 year old what made it a bigger challenge but everyone enjoyed and adjusted perfectly

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thanks for your review! Not sure how our response slipped through the cracks. So pleased you enjoyed your tour with Joel and Freddy. We have already sent them copies of your review. Thank you, again!

The Best Way to see New York!

Sheila_B, Apr 2022

This experience was even more fabulous than I thought it would be! So much better than jockeying for a good seat on an overcrowded bus! I highly recommend having the separate guide as Dan was able to tell us wonderful facts about what we were seeing when we left the car, while Robert the driver could drive around or wait for us. Robert also gave us some good facts. The two worked well together even though this was their first time. They totally customized what we saw to our interests which can be hard with two teenage boys in tow. My oldest was fascinated to see what he was learning about in his US history classes. Of course we were blessed with amazing weather but I believe they would have made it great even if it were raining. I wish i could give it 10 stars.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Wow! Thanks for your great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your day and time with Dan and Robert. All the best to your Texas family, from your Family in New York.

Awesome New York tour

Shareese_T, May 2021

The driver and tour guide was GREAT!! We have absolutely no complaints. We had a great experience, learned a lot and saw a lot. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Response from Host, May 2021

Hi, S- Thanks for the review! I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. Please give our regards to the rest of the group. All the best to the Sweet 16 young woman and the rest of the group. Scott (the other S-)

6 hour tour of NYC

Thomas J C, Nov 2019

This was our first trip to the Big Apple and we wanted to get the skinny from a local guide. Our guide's name was Mr. Piedmonte and he was punctual, courteous, accommodating, and very informative. He actually extended our tour by 90 minutes without our asking because he wanted us to see more of his city. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

plmpgm, Nov 2017

Booking this tour after a 7 day cruise for four people with luggage was the best option as we had a whole day in New York before flying out of JFK at 7.30pm that night. Scott our driver was prompt, experienced, knowledgeable and very informative. We sat down in his car, pulled out a map and he then asked us what we had seen and what we would like to visit, we then left it up to him to take us on an amazing journey from Lower East Manhattan, Financial district, Soho, Greenwich village, Little Italy, where we stopped for coffee and morning eats! at the famous Ferrara Bakery!, then onto 911 memorial, Brooklyn Bridge, Heights, Gleeson Gym, Williamsburg, Queens, the list goes on!!, Lunch at a famous Bagel shop in Queens! Scott even took us to the Queens Museum to see a replica of New York, it was amazing! I thoroughly recommend this tour ! We saw so much in 7 hours, he even dropped us back at the airport. Scott thank you so much for a wonderful day and an amazing experience, your tour made up our mind that we will be back in New York again one day in the not to distance future.

Donna W, Oct 2016

The best way to tour the city! We saw so much more in one day than we would have been able to see on our own. And our tour guide Scott was very knowlegable and helpful. He was a great driver and arrived in a very clean vehicle. A great experience and worth the extra money since we were traveling with my elderly parents.

Michele L, Jul 2016

Our guide Scott was a walking encyclopaedia and we learnt so much about interesting facts about the city. he also knew the best spots to take photos and our 6-hours was filled end to end. Thanks for making this a memorable first time visit to New York for my parents.

Karla M, Oct 2015

We planned this tour at the conclusion of a cruise. Our guide picked us up at the cruise ship terminal, then dropped us off at the airport. We had a great tour! Scott took us to many sites, but also tailored the tour for us. When he found out that we liked stained glass, he suggested an exhibition at a museum close to the airport. Very personalized and quite enjoyable experience!

John D, Oct 2015

Absolutely fabulous!! Saw everything on my list and more! Scott was extremely informative. We didn't miss a thing! We would highly recommended this to everyone!
