Best one day trip, and the best tour guide,,,
Sarolta_C, Dec 2023
We loved our tour guide Rachel, very professional and knowledgeable. We got detailed, historic information from the city. I highly recommend her. If you are there just for a couple of days do this tour first right at the beginning, and than, you can spend more time on the things what you are interested in, She also gives you real useful information about orientations-and how to travel in the city.
Well worth the time and money!!
Michelle_C, Dec 2023
So worth it! A terrific way to take in some of the best landmarks in NYC! You stop and some of the locations and at least drive by some others and get some of the historical background by a well versed tour guide. Tyler was the best, really knew the history of the locations and was funny on top of that. She was also very helpful in providing advise and recommendations on things to do with your time in NYC!
Wonderful tour guide
Lesley_L, Dec 2023
Kevin was a wonderful tour guide & the drive around the city went smoothly. I've been to NYC several times but learned a lot on this tour & Kevin made it fun! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know significant info on importance places throughout the city.
Learned a lot about the city! Had a great guide!
Barbara_B, Dec 2023

Jayda_P, Dec 2023
Going on the ferry and to see the Statue of Liberty and twin Tower. The whole trip was good. Our tour guy and driver Dwayne was really nice and made sure we got the complete tour. Love spending time with family.
Excellent Experience .... would recommend to anyone!
PatriciaStanley, Dec 2023
We had a short stay in NYC! This tour provided us the opportunity to see so much in 6 hours. I would recommend this to anyone, even those coming in for a longer stay because you can see so much, get your bearings and figure out what places you want to spend more time during your stay. Jim and Carlos were amazing tour guides. Carlos was an excellent driver and Jim was knowledgeable and so much fun! He was engaged every second of the trip! It was awesome!
Breathtaking
Gabrielle_B, Dec 2023

New York City Tour
Jessica_D, Dec 2023
I thought the over all tour of the city was really good. The tour guide would start off strong w speaking and then he would fade down. I believe when you are in that roll your speaking voice should be strong the whole time.

A must do experience to give you a thorough feel and overview for NYC❤️
Diane_S, Dec 2023
Our tour guide Lionel was very good knowledgeable funny and entertaining, thorough and polite. We saw everything but everything that needs to be seen in New York City in about seven hours! A highlight was seeing the 911 Memorial and strawberry Fields in Central Park. There was even a guitarist standing by the memorial there, singing beetle songs, which was a special ambience we took a ride on the Staten Island ferry and got up close to the Statue of Liberty. It was an amazing day.

Our guide Dana made this tour amazing
mandalyn_f, Dec 2023
Dana is the best guide I’ve had. She is so knowledgeable and super fun. She made the tour awesome. Carlos was our driver and he was great at making sure we were able to see all the sights from the bus. I would highly recommend this tour when you get to town so you can have a heads up on what to do in the city during your trip

Informative and fun! I became a New Yorker!
Natalie_O, Dec 2023
I experienced and learned so much about New York from Rachel. Her goal was to 'make us New Yorkers' and she did it. I now have a live for the city that I didn't before. We quoted her to our other companions, who didn't take the tour, for the rest of the trip...all her insights and tips on how to handle just about anything. She was great; tour was informative and fun!

Trip around New York
Pauline_W, Dec 2023
A fabulous day . The guide ( I think his name was jimmy ) was fantastic . Don’t think there is anything he didn’t know about New York, both past and present information.. he was a joy to be with and put everyone at ease . I think he went above and beyond to ensure we had an informative and fully enjoyable day .

Great One Day tour of NYC Highlights
Jeffrey_B, Dec 2023
Very good tour that covers the highlights of NYC. A good one to take at the beginning of your visit to figure out what you might want to go back to. Joey was very knowledgeable about the sites and had answers to questions.
