Tim and Pedro the best!
If you only have 1 tour you can go on, this is it! Tim the tour guide was the best. Pedro was driving but chimed in when needed. They were the best!

The tour vehicle was a Mercedes Sprinter 15 passenger that was pristine. Rachel the tour guide was awesome and her tour gave info on architecture, movies & celebrities, history & facts and LOTS of photo opportunities. Arles, the driver was on time, a safe driver and was always right there when we exited tour stops. Felt extremely safe during covid times.

Worth every penny and every minute
Rachel was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. She was fun and informative. She took some great pictures of us to show friends and family as well. I was impressed by the different sites chosen to visit and even enjoyed the spot we stopped for lunch - a few choices and a nice grocery type store that had premade reasonably priced dishes for purchase that were delicious. She even taught us the simple way to use the subway system. Highly recommend her and this tour.

Best Day in Manhattan
Tyler & Pedro were amazing! Tyler is a walking encyclopedia of New York. If you have a question about New York History, she definitely has an answer, back to colonization (and I’d consider myself a history buff lol). Our 4yr old loved her and was sad to part ways when the tour was over. Pedro was informative as well and it made the tour worth every penny. My husband and I have been to New York a couple times before, but this is the best way to experience the city in one day. Now we know where we want to go for the last few days of our trip. You’ve got to do the tour in the beginning of your trip, to save you time, money and see where you want to revisit.

Great tour for a birthday!
Sep 2020
Informative, relaxed, fun day. Gil was a fabulous tour director and Arliss did
an amazing job navigating the streets and picking us up at various locations.
We took the 6 hour day tour of NY for my grandaughters' birthdays (13, 10).
Due to Covid-19 restrictions the 8 of us had the van to ourselves.. We were 3 adults
and 5 children 13, 10, 8, 7, 4. Although the tour is more beneficial for adults, the kids
did ok. Gil "customized " our tour so the grandchildren could go to the children's
part of Central Park and get the wiggles out. The tour balanced lots of
wonderful information(Gil is an encyclopedia of NYC info) and walking time at
the various stops. Since the boat wasn't available, we went on the Staten Island ferry
so we could see the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline plus Brooklyn and
New Jersey. The kids loved that. Gil was extremely accomadating, taking our pictures everywhere. Thanks for a memorable, fun birthday.

Great tour with Gil!
Sep 2020
What a GREAT tour! Learned lots of tidbits about Manhattan that I wouldn't have learned if I had not been on tour with Gil! He did an awesome job! The tour van was very clean and everyone respected safety guidelines(mask, sanitizing, distance...)! I would highly recommend this tour! As a matter of fact, when I bring family back next year, I plan on doing it again with them!

Our first day! This was amazing tour!
Sep 2020 • Couples
Gil was an amazing tour guide! We took this trip 9-23-20. These businesses and tour guides are doing an A+ job for just the few of us visiting the city. There were 0 lines, not crowded and everyone was taking precautions but we still had a wonderful experience! If you are considering do it your first day! He gave us tips on where to eat, how to travel and such. Made our week so amazing by doing this first! Gil was very energetic & full of information! Exceeded our expectations!
