This tour was worth every single dollar! The tour guide, the coach and the visits to some of New York's most famous landmarks were simply amazing. It was a full day going from Brooklyn to Ground Zero, Greenwich to Chinatown and driving down the most amazing Avenues. The lunch in Little Italy (included in the tour) was great and so was the restaurant, Grant's Tomb, the Cathedral and Central Park were very memorable as was the view from the 'Top of the Rock', but Dave (our tour guide) was incredible. His versatility, friendliness and knowledge was a credit to the tour company and so was the driver. Don't miss this trip!

Great fun trip for anyone with a sweet tooth. Quite a lot of walking involved and end up finishing in Greenwich Village. In a few of the shops, you are not allowed to select what you want, but taste the cupcake of the month or special for that time. Brilliant way to visit most famous cupcake bakeries.

We were driven in the car pictured by Isaac, who is very knowledgeable about the car and the city. He even recommended a great restaurant in Greenwich Village. As it was during a heatwave, he ensured we had plenty of bottled water - thanks Isaac. Will definitely recommend.

I love Greenwich Village! It is a great place to stay (and eat and drink) in New York City, and it doesn't have the madness of the crowds that you get up around Midtown and Times Square. You can spend hours just hanging out in Washington Square Park, watching the world go by. I'll be back!

As a child of the sixties and a lifelong music fan, the areas of Greenwich Village and the East Side of NYC were as well known to us in the UK as the Haight-Ashbury of San Fransisco, but in those days only through the eyes of the music press and a few fleeting glimpses on television. Many of my favourite bands emerged from New York, among them Mountain and the great Leslie West. To walk through the Village a few years ago without really "seeing" anything was an experience in itself, and it was truly fantastic to walk in the steps of Dylan and Hendrix on that vist. What it lacked was expert guidance and a guide's bag full of memories and personal stories to bring it to life and light up the area and show it to our wonderous eyes in all its aspects of gore and glory. He sure knows his stuff, and one thing I liked was his easy approachable manner to the questions he must have answered a thousand times, yet answered with the enthusiasm of someone just hearing the question for the first time. Highlights: Everything, whether you are a fan of the sixties, seventies, whatever, there is something in this tour for you. If you love music, you'll love this. For us the walk around revealed the Fillmore East site and Zeps Physical Graffiti building and other personal gems; for you it will be something else. Just turn up, tune in and turn on to the wonderful sights and sounds of the NYC scene on a journey of musical discovery. This tour is a must!

This is a great way to see the top sites easily. We hopped off at The Dakota, strolled through Central Park, hopped back on at Dakota, hopped off at Guggenheim and walked to the Met. The next day, we hopped back on at Times Square and hopped off at Greenwich Village, strolled through SoHo, hopped back on at the World Trade Centre, and hopped off at Rockefeller Centre. Only problem is not always able to get a bus seat up top, and the seats down below are impossible to see anything from. Also, the tour guides were hit-or-miss. Some were funny and entertaining, but one guy was so grating I wanted to stand up and knock myself out on a traffic light just to keep from hearing his whiney voice! Other than that, the hop on hop off tour has a great value and is a great way to see the sites.

We got really excellent guides on both the uptown which takes you around Central Park and downtown loops which takes you through Greenwich Village and down to The Battery. The ones we heard bits of on the 2nd day when we were just using it as a bus service were good, just not quite as good as the first two. If it's your first time in NY I'd definitely recommend this.
