Very good overview of NYC.
Good tour. Dave was very knowledgeable.
The tour was alright. what I did'nt like was the tour guide act like we were in an arobic class with the up and down every 10 min. I did'nt want ot see where the rich and famous lived but the national.spots. ex- the inside of the catheral, Emp. st Bldg up close. The Ferry ride was the highlight of the tour.
My daughter and I loved our tour, "New York in One Day." Our guide was funny, knowledgeable and patient. Our driver was friendly and the driving effective and safe. We enjoyed hearing a narrative about the sites and having a quick "off the bus" for a peek at some sites...like Rockefeller Plaza, and Ground Zero. I also really liked the stop to see the dedication to John Lennon, "Strawberry Fields." Everything about it was perfect. Thanks so much for a lovely day.
Great way to see statue of liberty but that's about all we saw due to the weather as it was raining and was quiet miserable and cold on the boat.
we had perfect weather for the cruise, the guide was very knowledgeable
Tour Guide was excellent..
What can i say....? This trip completely delivered, we got to see everything there is to see...Empire State, Central Park, Strawberry fields, Statue Of Liberty...and much more. Our tour guide was great, a local to the area who gave us a few hints and tips on life as a New Yorker. There was plentyof time to stop off at places , take photos and hear about the history. The trip also included an hour long boat trip to see the Statue Of Liberty, which was great and provided plenty of oppurtunity for photos! All in all a great addition to anyones holiday, and kicked off our New York adventure in style!
Our day tour of NY was excellent. Jim from Brooklyn was an EXCELLENT guide. I am originally from NY-bringing someone from London for the first time. It was SUPER!
The tour itself would get 5 stars, but the 4 stars is due to some of the company faults. They over booked a tour and ask a couple of us to switch buses, which wasn't a big deal, but when we did they then proceeded to fill that bus to capacity (it was a smaller bus and we had more room on the first bus). Ultimately this was probably a good thing as we loved our tour guide. Obama was in town which threw traffic off a bit, so I wish they would have told us that our 10 minute bathroom break was also supposed to be our lunch as well. The tour itself was outstanding and for a first timer in NYC was a MUST DO. Not only do you get to see all the sights, but you get the history behind them. Bottom line is I would do the tour again. ENJOY!
Was a good trip, would have liked to be closer, and there was a crane in front of the statue, but still a memorable trip.
This was a great investment in our trip. I didnt give 5 stars because it would have been nice to have open top buses, but the trip made up for that. I recommend doing this your first day as it saves you a ton of money in helpful advice
This was the second time I had done this tour - first time with my daughter and second with my husband and I must say that both tours were great! \Our tour guide on this occasion was British and very entertaining - he was very informative and we enjoyed the boat trip, [a little more time foor lunch would have been nice] Altogether good value for money.
I did this on my first day in NY which was excellent for identifying spots to revisit in my own time. Would recommend for anyone with limited time. Tour Guide was fantastic, very personable and "human". Unlike other guides, he didn't hint or ask for tips, but seemed to be overwhelmed by them. Loved it.
I had done the same tour the week prior with my other daughter and found it perfect for a general introduction to NY. I booked it again for another family member and unfortunately it was not as good due to the size (approx 50 people). This is marketed as a small group tour, which it was the week prior (approx 11people) which allows a much more comprehensive experience. I particularly, booked again but was very disappointed. The larger tour took an extra 11/2 hours due to the number of people onboarding the bus at each stop. Definetly check number of tourists before booking.
