This was the perfect way to start our stay in New York City. We saw many "must-see" sites in a comfortable and informative way, which allowed us to better focus our time afterwards. Gill was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job! Highly recommend!!!!

Phenomenal Tour Guide!
Oscar_O, Jun 2023
Our tour guide, Rachel, and driver Miguel were an exceptional duo and great at problem solving! NYC had 4 parades that day and a lot of traffic, but Rachel and Miguel were quick to think and made their way around it, all while having time to spare. We were also very impressed with Rachel’s “systems” and punctuality. She knew exactly how long it would take to walk from place to place and where the perfect picture-taking spots were. She has great stories, very detailed explanations on history, and even gave us helpful tips on “how to be a New Yorker.” Great experience and Rachel and Miguel made it the best!

Emilee_D, Jun 2023
We had an amazing tour guide who shared all he knew about the city with us! The guide took photos of us at every stop. He kept everyone moving so we got to see everything during our tour. The bus was comfortable. Our tour guide, Steve, gave us plenty of time to grab lunch at the World Trade Center. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the city in a day! Well worth the price!

The Manhattan Tour
Keva_N, Jun 2023
It was a good tour to get to know some of the unique things in NY from someone who actually lives there. Rhonda was very personable and entertaining. It was a diverse group and she still managed to interact with everyone and made everyone feel a part. Really enjoyed the experience with her.

Dissapointed
Vitor_A, Jun 2023
Below my expectations, the buses were closed and with no option to take pictures, the guide was not informative enough, due to traffic the tour bypassed a few stops, and the boat trip also was not as expected, too far from the Statue of Liberty, just a normal ferry that actually anyone can take for free. I would say for the price paid, it was very disappointing, and will not recommend it to anyone. In summary, it was rushed, not welcoming and not as a guided tour should be.

NYC’s Best One Day Tour!
Andrew_T, Jun 2023
It was a little confusing at first on where the shuttle was picking us up and trying to get people into seats (not sure if they overbooked) but the actual tour and tour guide and driver were phenomenal! It was a great way to see NYC in one day!

Hello Olga: Thank you very much for your review, we are glad you enjoyed our tour. Hope to see you again.
Disappointed but still worth it.
Brenda_S, May 2023
The tour was worth the time. We saw a lot of the city in a little over 6 hours. Our tour guide was sadly not the best. He seemed distracted and uninterested in the group. He walked so quickly it was difficult to keep up in a crowded area and ultimately lost two members of his group. He made a little bit of effort to find them but we ultimately went on without them. It was a good way to get your bearings in Manhattan just hope you get a better tour guide.
