Michael_D, Dec 2023

Great tour and guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. However, a note of caution... YOU DO NOT NEED A METRO CARD!!!! You only go into Grand Central Station to look... you do not go on the metro. $20 spent unnecessarily!!!!

Charles was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Really enjoyed the tour. It was extremely busy but Charles managed to keep us altogether and on time. Thank you

Awesome lights

Store windows on fifth avenue and Saks music/light show were great. Kathryn’s sharing of various pictures of the mansions and other historical sites were interesting.

I was left behind and lost in the crowd before we even got to 5th Avenue. Very disappointing. Not a total waste, I did get a subway pass for the tour before hand as requested and started taking the subway after that. Other than that the tour was a waste of my money.

Un très beau moment

Franois_B, Dec 2022

La guide a été extraordinaire très généreuse de ses explications et de son temps malgré un froid polaire sur NY

Experience desolante

valrie_n, Dec 2022

Le guide est parti devant on n’a jamais pu le rattraper! Notre excursion a duré 15 minutes où il nous a abandonnés dans un mini marché de noel qu’on aurait pu faire seuls. Du coup on a perdu notre argent….nous demandons aimablement le remboursement de cette excursion. Et nous oublierons cette desolante experience qui nous a totalement gaché notre journée. Quelle deception…plus de 120 us pour 15 minutes et aucun commentaite c’est terrible
