Personalized our experience to our interest answered all of our questions was incredibly informative. Driver was fantastic extremely friendly. For our first trip to New York we felt very safe. I would rate this first rate tour.
Fred was great with our plans and made sure we hit the spots we wanted to see. Very nice, and had great knowledge of the city and facts! Steve (the driver) was also amazing, and was extremely respectful to us. He had a very clean SUV and really had knowledge of driving in NYC. Never one felt worried, car sick, or nervous whatsoever. Would highly recommend this team!!
Jared was a fountain of information about NYC and he had prepared in advance to customize the tour to our requested areas of interest. There was a little more car time than originally expected but we were able to see a number of different neighborhoods and learn about the history, architecture and culture of each area.
Fabulous tour,great team of driver and guide
We had only one day to get as many of the sites in with our family from out of town. Jared and Andi were absolutely fantastic!!! We saw everything we wanted, spending time in each place and getting a wonderful education with Jared sharing so much history and fun facts. Andi was the most professional and skillful driver I’ve ever experienced in NYC. We felt safe and comfortable the entire day. Will definitely book with them again when planning another NYC site seeing trip.
We cannot recommend Benny, Tom, and this company enough! We hired them for a full-day New York City tour for our family of four, and they made our entire NYC experience unforgettable! Benny and Tom made the absolute BEST team! Benny was always right where we needed him, ready to pick us up and keep our day running smoothly. Tom was like having a family member show us around the city! He was so personable, knowledgeable, and made the entire day fun while sharing so much history and information about all the places we visited. They took us to every single place we requested and even went above and beyond to show us so much more than we expected. They truly listened to what we wanted to see and made the most of every minute we had in the city. Traveling with our family of four, we wanted to make the most of our time in NYC, and they exceeded every expectation. We couldn't have asked for a better driver and tour guide combination! If you're planning a trip to New York City, do yourself a favor and book with this company. We would recommend them over and over again! Benny and Tom didn't just give us a tour—they helped make our family's NYC trip one we will always remember. Thank you both for such an incredible day!

This was my husband’s first time in NYC. Jared was an excellent guide! The full day guided tour hit every place on our list of must sees. His knowledge and love for NYC showed us places we would have never known otherwise. It was a perfect day. FYI…Benny was an amazing driver, somehow he always knew exactly where to be! Thanks guys for a great experience! We’ll be back. Lora & Danny
Our driver Sam and our tour guide Jared were amazing for our guided tour . Sam was very smooth with his driving and got us the best parking spots for all our stops . Jared was great with his knowledge of just navigating the city and was very descriptive of what we were looking at and why is was a well known or a not so well known building. All in all a very good experience to see parts of the city you don't normally get to see a trip to New York . Highly recommend giving it a go if you want to see all parts of the city.
Amazing day with Fred and Sam. We got to see all of the items on our list and enjoyed all of the knowledge!
Awesome tour, lots of great info. Very accommodating and flexible routes.
Ronnie was our driver and Jim Quin was our tour guide. Such a beautiful and satisfying tour. Very accommodating and great knowledge. Very worth the money. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great half day tour with Jared and Arnaldo. Jared knew a lot about the city and had plenty to teach even those of us more familiar with the city. The itinerary was perfect. The hotel pickup and drop off made everything so smooth for our family group of 19. The minibus was comfortable on a humid summer day and Arnaldo piloted it deftly. This was a great way to see the city and learn a lot.
Jim Quinn and Ramon were exceptional and not your typical NY tour
Awesome experience with Jim Quinn. Lovely tour guide!
Very informative, appreciate Jim Q
Our tour was excellent what I would suggest is to figure out what you like to see in New York before the tour. Fred our tour guy was great story teller of the city and beyond and very accommodating to our family group and went out of his to make the tour wonderful .
Tom, a NY original, gave us a profound impression about what NY means. We enjoyed very much and made a long lasting experience in an amazing city with a professional, experienced and warm hearted New Yorker. The whole trip arrangement, starting from the booking process via the preparation towards the trip was smooth, reliable and hands on. Thank you Tom!
Hands down one of the best tours! Jarred, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Benny, the driver, was courteous and safe. Couldn’t have asked for more on our first NYC tour. We saw so many sights and took several photos. The value you get with the private tour is what I would expect of one that costs double the price! From the excellent pre-departure communication to the drop-off at the door of our hotel, everything was incredibly professional. Looking forward to being repeat customers on another tour with this company!
This was by far the BEST tour! The tour guide, Jared was exceptional in friendliness, customer service and knowledge. He was also extremely flexible and catered to us at every turn. Our driver, Stephen was remarkably skilled at navigating and getting us right up to the attractions. He was also extremely safe and handled the vehicle smoothly. Book this one now! You won’t be disappointed!
Our guide has a great knowledge of current and past facts and news of New York ! I Recomend him very much !
We LOVE our Driver and Especially our AMZING guide Tom O. He was an amazing Guide. And we will miss him dearly.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Jim is a lifelong New Yorker and all round nice guy. The itinerary was completely flexible, we got to stop and get out wherever we wanted to. Jim is a fountain of knowledge with great personal insights into life in New York.
"Steven and Tom made this trip absolutely fantastic! Tom was an incredible guide—his knowledge of the area was encyclopedic, and he had a gift for storytelling that brought every site to life. He made sure the experience was not just educational, but truly memorable. Steven kept us safe and comfortable on the roads, navigating perfectly so we could relax and enjoy the views. If you are booking this tour, ask for this duo—they are the dream team!"
Sophia was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job.
Jim Quinn was a great guide and Sam was a great driver
Great tour on a time crunch felt like I got a good grasp of city and surroundings. Good stories from local tour guide that added a personal touch. Very flexible and enjoyable tour.
Jim Q - amazing! very knowledgeable and informative- He was great.
We had the absolute best time with Jared and Benny! Benny was a wonderful driver and was so accommodating to the places we wanted to see. His sprinter van was awesome and made the whole experience that much more fun. We did a 6-hour tour and saw so many amazing sights. Jared was the absolute best tour guide I have had. Patient, knowledgeable, energetic and engaging. He had all the ins and out about New York and even knew everything related to culture, music, celebrities, movies and more. I would highly, highly recommended a tour with the both of them! You’ll have the best time!!
Jared and Benny were professional and personable! Best way to see and learn about NYC!
Jared and Stephen were the most amazing team ever to show us around NYC! I originally only had 2 full day tours books but ended up booking a 3rd day due to how effortless and efficient the days went! We were able to do EVERYTHING we had planned and more! Jared was so knowledgeable and very patient with all my 14 year old wishes and plans! He did his own research about things she and her bestie may be into and introduced us to even more adventures! We hit all the photo ops snd shops a teenage girl could ever want while still giving us such an amazing tour of the city! Best tour guides we’ve ever had!!!! Loved every minute! Quote from my daughter “Mom, they made the trip more than I could’ve have ever imagined”! We will definitely be back because of them❤️
We did the 6 hour private NYC tour with Sophia and Benny. We had a great day of sightseeing that included every major landmark you can think of in the city! It was informative, fun and perfect for a family that had never been to New York city. Sophia was so fun and engaging. She related so much to our teen kids and they had a blast! Benny was the calm driver who knew exactly where everything was even of it wasn’t on the itinerary. Highly Recommend!!
Liz was our tour guide. She was a wonderful guide! She listened to what we wanted to get out of our tour and she made it happen. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Also, our driver, Stephen, was great!
We had an amazing private tour experience, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Our driver, Steven, was professional, punctual, friendly, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. His knowledge of the area and attention to detail made the journey smooth and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Sophia, was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of each location we visited. She answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and made the experience both educational and fun.
Jared, Lamar, and Joshua were excellent. Very knowledgeable and excited to answer any questions we had. Definitely 10/10! Highly Recommended!
Fred made sure that we saw everything on our bucket list to see or buy. It was great to have them pick us up and deliver us back to our hotel.
The best decision ever. They offered a separate driver and tour guide. Steven was a great driver. Jared, our guide knew everything about The City and Steven could park and stay with the car so Jared could take us to visit the many sites, take ample pictures, go inside and truly experience the many destinations. Not just drive by. I highly recommend (and I almost never highly recommend anything) this tour.
My mom and I (in my early 20’s) absolutely loved our tour with Tom and our driver Ben. Tom was extremely detailed and excited to tell us about the beauty and history of New York City and its famous landmarks. We had the full day tour, but it didn’t feel like 6 hours at all. You could not put a price on the experience we had, it was truly worth every penny. Tom made us feel like we were family, and Ben was an incredible driver with a great attitude. The luxury SUV was a great touch. We went directly from our hotel in Manhattan to all over the city, stopping for pizza in Brooklyn (which was another wonderful experience, and very delicious…we loved the thin crust cheese pizza, great choice, Tom). We have no complaints whatsoever. I loved the city before the tour, but Tom deepened that love with everything he shared (and how excited he was to tell us, we were just as eager to learn). He was extremely personable and knowledgeable. He also loved that we wanted to take photos, and loved taking pictures for us! He’s truly a jack of all trades, he took great pictures! On the way back from the tour to the hotel, he made sure we heard NYC’s anthem — New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. He had a few sayings about the city and rebuilding after tragedy and they truly touched my soul more than he knew. Everyone needs a Tom. Thank you ExperienceNYC, Ben, and especially Tom for such an unforgettable experience, I will be carrying it with me. I will never forget it! It was much more than some tour to us, it is truly an unforgettable experience. Had a difficult time selecting photos, we saw much more than what was pictured.
We booked the One-Day Best of New York private tour, and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment they picked us up at our hotel until they dropped us back off, the entire experience was seamless, comfortable, and so enjoyable. There were six of us, and the Sprinter van was spacious and very comfortable. Our driver, Ricardo, was excellent — professional, courteous, and an amazing driver in busy New York City traffic. Coming from a smaller town, having someone confidently navigate the city made the experience so relaxing for all of us. Our private tour guide, Jared, was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable about New York City and let us customize the tour based on the places we wanted to spend more time exploring. He shared so many interesting facts and stories about the city — even the seasoned New York travelers in our group learned new things! For the first-time visitors, it was the perfect way to see so much of New York in just six hours. Jared was also an excellent photographer and took some amazing pictures of our group so everyone could be included. One thing we especially loved was that they seemed to know all the best spots that weren’t crowded, so many of our photos looked like private photo shoots. This tour felt personal, relaxed, and truly special because we weren’t grouped with strangers. Every part of the experience was professional and enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting New York City. Ask for Jared and Ricardo!!
We had an excellent private tour of NYC today. Beyond the kindness and deep knowledge of the city, what truly stood out was the structure of the experience. Having a dedicated driver and a separate tour guide made everything feel incredibly safe and efficient. Jared and Benny worked seamlessly together, allowing us to fully enjoy the tour without any distractions. I’ve done tours before where one person handles both driving and guiding, and it often feels less comfortable. This setup made a noticeable difference. Highly recommend—we’re already looking forward to booking their food tour next.
Great tour. Sophie had a great knowledge of the city and was patient and kind with our daughters. The suv and driver amazing. Thak you.
Excellent way to see the highlights in one day. Liz was amazing with her knowledge and had so many interesting and fun facts about everywhere we visited. The tour was very flexible - the children saw things that they wanted to jump out and look at closer which was accommodated immediately. Great food suggestions too. Our driver was also excellent, he would drop us off for photo and shopping stops and then magically reappear with the car just when we were done, in new york traffic that was very impressive. The car was comfortable and so much better than trying to navigate the city ourselves. Would highly recommend this company.
Everything was perfect. Our tour guide Jared was the best and our driver Bennie was wonderful! From the initial meet up to the drop off at the end of our tour, everything was better than we could have asked. We highly recommend this tour.
We had an amazing guided tour around Manhattan. The guide explained the history and stories behind famous places like Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center. The tour was well organized, fun, and very informative. Definitely worth it if you want to explore New York City in a short time
Jared was a fun and gracious encyclopedia (or should I say Google search) of great knowledge. We learned so much about history, architecture and NY culture. Very polite and accommodating. Benny was a masterful driver. Highly recommend!
Hade a great and very interesting tour with guide Jared and driver Troy. Would highly recommend this tour of New York City
Jarrod was great. He’s very informative and covered a lot of ground. Great way to see NYC and various landmarks. Very much would recommend.
Jim Quinn was a superb tour guide for our group. A really knowledgeable man, and excellent story teller. It was a lovely experience.
Jim Q was the tour guide. Good fun, very knowledgeable and interesting. Would recommend. Was worth doing the tour. Great way of seeing the city
Sophia and Benny were the best! We saw so much and had so many great foods in such a short period of time! Sophia knew everything! Would definitely recommend!!!
