This was such a great tour. A good way to get a flavour of more than just Manhattan. The stops we did were in great places and we got some fantastic photos. The tour guide Ray was very interesting and knowledgeable-a pleasure to listen too. Sam the driver made the trip smooth and comfortable. Thank you. We would recommend this tour.
What an incredible way to experience New York City and its many amazing boroughs! There is so much more to NYC than Manhattan, and this tour is the perfect way to discover the history, character, and hidden gems of the surrounding neighborhoods. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a change of pace and a fascinating history lesson about the boroughs and the communities that make up this incredible city. Chris, our guide, was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable, insightful, and passionate about the entire NYC community. He added the perfect soundtrack to the experience with music that matched each stop, captured tons of great photos of our group, and even let me hit a home run off him right in front of Yankee Stadium! Everyone had such a great time. It was fun, engaging, educational, and filled with memorable moments. Truly a magical way to experience New York City beyond the typical tourist attractions. Highly recommend!
Took this bus tour with Chris Lee as our guide. As a complete newcomer to NYC, this tour was superb and exactly what I needed. He took us to all the areas mentioned as well as Long Island Cuty, some great sights and insta opportunities. Chris even related music (latino, hip hop, rock) to the places we visited. Great tour, great guide, fab driver! Highly recommend!
Chris Lee , our tour guide, was AMAZING. He was the absolute best and really appreciated his thoughtfulness and intention throughout the tour. As a homegrown , indigenous native of New York, his experience and stories colored the tour for us. It was very immersive and a great way to learn more about the city and it’s boroughs.
Ray was a great host, Sam was a great driver. We learnt so much about the local areas and the worst part of the 6 hour tour was having to go back home after.
Really interesting - Ray was so informative and friendly and we really enjoyed seeing the outskirts of NYC that we wouldn't normally be able to just see/stumble upon! Shout out to Sam the driver too!
Had a great tour. Our guide Ray R was fantastic. He was full of knowledge and just as much humour. I would absolutely recommend joining this tour; you won't be disappointed.
Ray R was fabulous! Knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned so much about NYC bouroughs
Great tour guide, very informative and entertaining! Would have preferred eating near DUMBO but overall good time. Ray R. Was guide
Chris Lee was our tour guide! He was knowledgeable, personable, and made great suggestions. I've visted the city plenty of times and still enjoyed this because it's an efficient way to see local spots and learn the history of the city! The bus itself was comfortable, air conditioned, and Sam, our bus operator drove safely! Every aspect of the tour was a success!
Had a great time learn a lot about the city of New York and the tour instructor was good with the history of the city
Fantastic tour! Our tour guide Chris Lee was very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly! The locations we visited were brilliant especially Brooklyn
Very informative tour of areas most might not visit. We have traveled to NYC for twenty years but never visited Bushwick, Williamsburg, Queens and the South Bronx. Jim and Sam did an excellent job of guiding us through a lengthy but worthwhile tour.
This was a treat. James our guide was excellent. He detailed many unique aspects of the city and culturr
Jim did a great job guiding us through the boroughs, the tourist seldom sees! Sam was a great driver!
Jim and Sam were fabulous , great insights
Nice guide, good driver (Jim and Sam)
The experience was amazing! During the trip, I saw the entirety of New York. Additionally, the information that was provided throughout the trip was very useful. Definitely worth it.
Jim our guide give interesting details of the areas we visited. Sam, our driver did an outstanding job maneuvering through the traffic.
Jim, our tour guide and Sam, our driver did an outstanding job. The length of the tour was perfect. The sights we saw were pertinent to the title of our tour. We learned about the cultural and history of the areas we visited. Jim related stories from his past growing up in various neighborhoods . All four of us really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Jim and Sam.
Jim and Sam where amazing, on time, funny, sharing and lovely.
Jim Quinn and Sam were awesome tour guides!! Enjoyed our tour
Jim and Sam are the best !!!! love the tour so worth it
Excellent tour! Jim and Sam both did a wonderful job! I would recommend.
Jim Q and Sam were great and very funny.
Bring your appetite. There are a few opportunities to try the local cuisine during the tour. Don’t skip any of them. (Hint: get two empanadas).
Chris Lee gave an exceptional tour of NYC. I would recommend this tour if you really want to see New York!
Our tour guide Chris was amazing, he made it informative, interesting and fun!!!
Jorge and Sam did an excellent job.
Jorge is brilliant - super charismatic and knowledgable and filled the 6 hours brilliantly. Some excellent driving from Sam too.
Tour operator was wonderful!!! Very knowledgeable and informative and provided lots of information. Trip was good for my husband who has trouble walking -we got a good overview of the city and the operator made the trip so enjoyable - really enjoyed her spirited conversation about the city!! My only complaint is that there is no option other than Chinatown for the exiting the tour. We had to spend quite a bit of money for a ride back to our hotel as finding the right subway while construction is all over Chinatown was impossible. Can't you give people an option to disembark either in Chinatown or at our original meeting place?? At least people know how they got to the meeting point if they cannot find the way home from Chinatown!!
Great experience seen so much in one day
Solange was a fabulous guide! Informative and entertaining tour.

We had a great tour with Emmanuel! He was very knowledgeable of the boroughs . We visit NYC often but never venture outside of Manhattan & Harlem , so this was a nice treat .
This was an excellent tour! Emanuel was amazing, entertaining, personable and knowledgeable! I really enjoyed getting to see New York from a different perspective rather than just midtown Manhatten. Definitely recommend this tour and highly recommend Emanuel!
Memorable, wonderful experience, wonderful people. The tour guide, Immanuel was very knowledgeable.
Amazing, our guide was Emmanuel and he did a really good job in making sure no one missed the bus, explaining all the sights and making our experience worth its money!
Emanuel was an amazing tour guide w very insightful knowledge of the city. 10 out of 10 would recommend this tour as we got to see parts of NYC we never would have seen on our 3 day trip.
Excellent experience! Chris was awesome.
The tour was wonderful with much needed pitstops to explore the places, for rest and for amazing views. Our guide, Chris Lee gave much deeper and clear insight into the history of all boroughs that make New York. I would highly recommend everyone to keep a day for this while visiting NY. For a family, the ride is very comfortable and the walks are easy. Chris's energy is unmatched 😊.
Top Notch Tour - Chris was a sensational tour guide. Saw a wide array of sights throughout several of the boroughs. Learned a tremendous amount about the history and culture of the city. Fantastic- highly recommended.
