Emily was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and shared personal stories. The tour was great despite the chilly weather.
Amazing experience! Beautiful views! Our tour guide Chris was very knowledgeable and kept the experience fun and informative! Recommended 100%
A great time and very educational. The guide made the trip a more enjoyable experience. I would strongly recommend especially if you are in the city for a short period of time to be able to see all the sights.
Great experience. So much fun! Even when I’ve been many times learned new things. Such a relaxing way to see the sights. Thanks Jorge!
Great overall tour of NYC. Our guide Jorge was very informative with a great sense of humour. I have been to NYC several times but I still learned many new things that I didn’t know. Highly recommend this tour!
We had a fantastic tour with the company today. Ray R was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about passionate about the city! Mamoud is a skilled driver getting us through the city safely and efficiently. They were very accommodating as we had our 2.5 year old with us. The suv was very nice and a highly comfortable way to see the city in a short amount of time. Highly recommend this tour!
Ray R was a fountain of knowledge of NY city, he made a very rainy day memorable. We will recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you Ray.
Our guide Chris, was super knowledgeable, funny and a great ambassador for New York. I learned and saw so much. Next time I'm in town I'll definitely consider taking this one again. There was so much to learn.

I know the history thank you once again for the experience we had.

We just got back from a wonderful bus tour of NYC with Chris, and it was amazing. The bus was super comfy, with great views, and Chris made the whole experience fun and relaxed. He made sure my older mother was able to keep up on the tour. It was the perfect way to see the city in style without the usual crowds or rush. Highly recommend it if you want a laid-back, luxurious tour of NYC!
Chris Lee met us promptly at the meeting point at the agreed time with our small group of 10 people. We saw many sights as highlighted in the tour, and we were never rushed for time. Lovely small luxury minibus, and Chris was a fountain of knowledge. ASL him for some dad jokes lol! Highly recommended!
A wonderful experience. Chris Lee was our tour guide and was very personable and kind overall. Saw a lot of very cool places and learned new things about New York that I hadn’t known before. Would recommend!
Covered a lot. Included free ferry ride to and from Staten Island. A lot of walking and experiencing places. Nice overview in a morning
What a ride! Toured with family including 3 kids under 12 -- while 6 hours proved to be too long for 2 of them, the rest of us were charmed and entertained by tour guide extraordinaire Chris Lee, who riffed on populism, art deco, and the Rockefellers with ease and aplomb. A great education for those wanting to know things, and a luxe, easy day for those just there for the gorgeous city scenery. Worth it!
Excellent. Guide tour was very nice and helpful. He went through all the story during the visit. We did appreciate his help and guide.
Tourguide Chris was amazing, a turly local New Yorker. he Had an amazing knowledge about the city. This tour is amazing to get an overview what you can do in Manhattan.
Chris Lee was great. Never been to New York and you get to see everything you dream about in New York. You’re not walking all day and just tired. Walk, bus, and ferry all in one. Definitely recommended!
Peter Sullivan our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and a little funny, a nice guy. It was very windy but that didn’t detract from the tour or our opinion of it.
Our guide Tom was INCREDIBLE. I have been on similar tours before and never have I gotten such a complete and engaging experience. If you want to get as much NYC in as you can, this is the tour to book. We had the best time. Thank you so much!
Highly recommend Tom! Great tour and knowledgeable tour guide who was very personable. Enjoyed the small group size.
Amazing tour Tom was a fantastic guide, full Of knowledge and funny and very helpful with any questions I could not fault this trip and would advise anyone to book it, 100% satusfied
We did the private 9/11 tour with Rob Maass. Rob was early to our meeting point, extremely knowledgeable and gave us a very informative tour. We also got express entry into the Museum, which saved us spending hours in line (the line was huge!) If your are looking for a great tour - I highly recommend you request Rob.
Ray was a great, knowledgeable tour guide. Wanda a skilled NYC driver. Clean bus, comfortable seats, and all around great experience! I would even do it more than once.
Great tour of New Yawk! Chris is really fun and so knowledgeable. I was with a cane due to a recent surgery, and he was patient and still kept the pace up with the others in the group. Thanks!
Chris Lee was a great guide - funny, knowledgeable & accommodating. The weather was not very good but my group of five thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Chris Lee was a fantastic tour guide!!! He took care of the group despite rainy weather, made sure we were all safe and entertained, it was a wonderful trip. The bus was also very comfortable and a great small group intimate experience. Thank you Chris!
What a wonderful tour this was. We loved spending the day with our tour guide Chris Lee. He was so friendly and fun and informative. I learned things about New York that I never knew before. I actually took notes for further research and I am a native New Yorker !! He told us jokes, sang songs, provided proper NY accent lessons as well as giving us fascinating trivial information about history and architecture. He even provided us with ponchos when the weather turned bad. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
This was the best tour of New York City we have ever had. My husband and I are visiting New York to see our sons, although we are native New Yorkers this tour taught us some new things we didn’t previously know about our own hometown. Chris Lee, not to be confused with Christopher Lee, aka Saruman of LOTR fame, was an amazing tour guide who kept us on time, together and full of information we didn’t already know. The weather was abysmal, and of course, we had forgotten our umbrellas in Brooklyn. But, in true well prepared tour guide fashion, Chris Lee had ponchos for all of us. The extent of the tour really covered an amazing area of New York City. His talk included, trivia and facts about known celebrities, architecture, and historical development of the city. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thanks to Chris Lee and Adrian our guides, the six hour tour of New York City was amazing, fun and just right for the season.
An excellent tour with Ray. He gave us many insides we would not have known in a very friendly, laid back manner.
Enjoyable tour…although it was difficult to hear Ray at times because he didn’t use a microphone during the walking portions of the tour. Preferred this to a hop-on/off tour.
Tom our tour guide was very informative and made this day trip enjoyable. Would highly recommend. My husband was on a walker and they did everything possible to make sure he was comfortable and could enjoy the tour.
Great tour that gave us a good overview of NYC for our first day of a one week stay. This helped us decide on the rest of our week's visits. Very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended.
Tom was so good ..loved the way he described the places and history attached ..it was comfortable ride .U are the best Tom..stay blessed
Ray R. was the best guide ever!! I wish I will get him next time! His knowledge was amazing and kept us entertained the whole tour! Thank you!
Seeing the Statue of Liberty and the 9/11memorial was very moving. Our guide Kevin was very informative and entertaining.
Excellent tour. Tom was a fabulous tour guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this tour. You will see a lot of great sites in New York City
The tour takes you to a lot of beautiful places, with the best view of Manhattan. Amazing tour, thank you bubble guy......
This was the PERFECT introduction to Manhattan. A very comprehensive tour that gets you familiar with the city. Kevin was knowledgeable, personable and fun.
Great tour guide! We saw so much of the best of NYC in a single day! It was bonus that the weather was perfect. Definitely recommend for a first time visitor.
Great history mixed with culture and awareness of this area. Awesome Tour guide, great jokes, lots of knowledge shown.
Would recommend the NYC Must See Highlights of Manhattan Bus Tour which involved a comfortable airconditioned coach which included a ferry ride to Staten Island. The coach stopped at various points of interest along the way and our guide, Raymond R was very welcoming and knowledgeable concerning buildings, landmarks, people and the history of Manhattan. The tour was enjoyed by everyone on it and well worth doing if you're in New York for the first time.
A great way to see NYC as a first time visitor. Tom was very knowledgeable combined with a sense of humour. Interesting to see Wall Street and 5th Avenue amongst others. I particularly enjoyed the Staten Island ferry ride and seeing the Statue of Liberty. Definitely don’t miss the 9/11 memorial highlight which has quite a moving feeling about it.
Our guide Tom was so knowledgeable about New York. He managed to keep a pretty diverse group very entertained. He was funny and friendly and genuine. Highly recommend this tour.
Ray was an excellent guide. We appreciated the pace of the tour and the knowledge of the history of the area provided by Ray. The views were spectacular. 10/10 would recommend if you want a comprehensive tour of New York-manhattan area.
Ray was our tour guide and was fantastic. Highly recommend this NYC tour. Comfortable bus, great driver. We saw and learned a lot.
Ray was a fountain of knowledge. Lots of very interesting information. We definitely covered all the key areas that we were hoping to visit whilst in New York. We also had lots of fun banter along the way 😄
