Perfect tour for first day in NYC. Rachel was so informative. We really felt more prepared for our time here as she gave us loads of tips to help us negotiate NYC and get the most out of it. Thank you

The tour was great. There was a change in the itinerary that was not communicated upfront, but it worked itself out and the rest of the tour was amazing. Great tour for a great price. Highly recommend!

Was perfect for a winters day. We were welcomed by Tony the bus driver, who let us sit and wait on the bus, while we waited for our very friendly tour guide Dana to arrive.
We had a great day touring around New York City seeing so many sites. I would highly recommend it.
Thanks to Dana for all the info and thank you Tony for your driving skills!

We had good time. Mr. Kevin Phinney was awesome. He has a lot of knowledge about whole New York City! Driver Betty was kind.

Great overview tour. Gil was awesome and informative. A great way to see and hear history of Manhattan, and it helped us see areas we’d like to go more in depth on.

Gil has to be the best there is! We learned so much and was well taken care of throughout the day. I highly recommend a tour with him.
Wendy_W, Jan 2025
It was a fantastic day, our tour guide Gil was brilliant, knew soo much about everywhere we went, history and fun stories. Several opportunities to get off and walk sound, with us all trotting along behind Gil, following his red umbrella. Got to see soo much and learn loads. Trip across on the Staten Ferry was fabulous, great views of New York, Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty. Definitely would recommend this trip.

Nathan the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable (loved the light sabor!) and the driver was an expert at maneuvering the streets of NYC.
We hit the major highlights of the city in one day! What a a great way to introduce a first time traveler to NYC!
We definitely got our money’s worth!
