Out Baby's Day Out

Julian was a wonderful tour guide. The knowledge he has and the way he shared it through laughter was great. The extra things he showed us was fantastic. Very informative and it added additional things for our family to do. Great job.
Great tour for a short stay in New York
HanneLene_S, Mar 2024
Great tour. Gil was very knowledgable and we managed to see a lit in amjust a few hours. Wish we could have had a little more time in Central park and the world trade center memorial. But very much enjoyed the tour.

Great Way to Capture A Lot In Short Trip
Nathan_P, Mar 2024
Our tour guide, Dana, was very knowledgable and shared a great deal of information about the city during out entire trip. This was a great way for us to see a lot of the city and learn about interesting history in a short trip. Highly recommend this van tour for weather protection and still with stops and ability to get on/off at key sights. Show up at least 30 minutes before departure to get a good seat/sit together if with family/group.

Just okay
Amber_B, Mar 2024
Overall, the tour was an okay experience. We were able to see everything we were hoping to. The ferry ride was a bit of a time waster as it did not stop at Staten Island. Tour guide was hard to hear and pretty boring. Saw other guides for same tour with much more positive energy. Maybe her beer at lunch made her sleepy. She sat the entire ride back, apparently pointing out landmarks that we couldn’t see.

Many thx to Rachel, our guide & Gustavo, our driver on Monday 18 March! Rachel kept us engaged to her super informative & interesting commentary throughout the 6hour tour around NY city must-see spots (and visit on your own afterwards if you wish, which we did as a family of three over the following couple of days, of course a selection!)…Warmly recommended at the start of your visit to NY, very helpful tips to tourists are provided, too!

Worst tour guide ever
Ellen_D, Mar 2024
The most memorable part of my experience was when the guide left me behind in Central Park. Then he left a woman and 2 children behind on the Staten Island ferry. A member of the group asked him to hold up his umbrella, but he refused, saying he was 6’3” and had the microphone. But I couldn’t hear the microphone.
We had a ball!
Lena_W, Mar 2024
My family had such a great time! We covered so much ground with our fun and knowledgeable guide. I hadn't to have it end

Great tour from UNK-J!
Amy_M, Mar 2024
UNK-J was our tour guide and he was the best! A native New Yorker, he had lots of great information and tips. He told us a lot about what we were seeing, then also gave suggestions about how to enjoy the city on our own. We took the tour with the small bus, max of 12 people and I would definitely recommend that!

Can't recommend enough for tourists
Sela_M, Mar 2024
Dana was absolutely great! Very friendly and informative! Manny is a magician driver! He will find a space in on the traffic filled road and squeeze his way through despite driving a huge tour bus. Very comprehensive tour from Central Park all the way to the Staten Island Ferry. We also ate at World Trade Center 4 and even checked out the 911 Memorial. I hope to come back again and bring a friend!
