Great service and great attention for all passengers. The guide was excellent! I my case I really thank the company for picking me up, even though I missed the starting point. Our group (10 Pax) was picked up on the next route. Very thankful for that!

Amazing Rachel

Nichola_H, 22-12-2022

If I recommend one thing in New York it’s this trio and the tour guide Rachel. It was our second day in the city and we were feeling overwhelmed she was the beacon of light that guided us through the big apple. The passion she puts into her tour to make sure you get the best experience the best photos and the knowledge she holds is second to none. Rachel is a diamond and we went away feeling prepared and brave enough to use the subway thanks to her and feeling happy and full of New York knowledge. Thankyou so much Rachel for being an amazing tour and person x

Rachel was amazing!

Angela_R, 22-12-2022

Rachel provided a lot of information about the City and sights. She also provided valuable information about getting around the City, how to negotiate with street vendors and who to avoid. She was excellent!

Nice day trip

Robbin_S, 22-12-2022

This was a nice tour without too much walking around. Dana was very informative. Lunch stop had plenty of options to eat.

I'm so happy I took the tour

477heidemarieb, 22-12-2022

The tour guide, Jim, was very personale and funny. As a Brooklyn native, he covered a lot more than the tourist attractions and shared some history of New York not known to outsiders.

Fun History Lesson

Janelle_T, 21-12-2022

Driver, Manuel, was great and tour guide, Nathan, was very knowledgeable about the history of buildings and parks around the city.
