Had a terrible experience just getting there. Via subway. Ran for 8 blocks ins rain and traffic. Got to your location and your bus had just left . We arrived at 10;10 and you had just pulled out. We tried to call several times to tell you were on our wAy. No Communication available. We will be in Dublin Monday April 10th and would desire to have a tour. Is it possible that you could transfer our loss to a tour there. Text me at 956-342-5172

Great experience
Apoorv_T, Apr 2023
Really enjoyed this tour. Ideal for people who are in NY for a short time and don't have the luxury of exploring places at their own place. The tour guide Brendan was great with his knowledge and wit and ensured that he kept us engaged till the end. I did get briefly separated from the group at the Staten Island Ferry station, but that was a minor hiccup. Overall, recommend this to anyone wanting to explore NY in half a day.

Not worth the money
Donna_R, Apr 2023
It was a terrible tour, worst one i’ve ever been on. It was supposed to be 6 hours we left it after 3. Was a complete waste of time. The guy had no interest in telling us anything about the sights we were seeing, the history, nothing. He was too busy being loud and obnoxious and trying to convince everyone he was hilarious. It made us cringe so badly. It was literally a drive by of NY. Get off the bus, take a photo, get back on the bus. It was rubbish. We left half way and decided to walk around ourselves.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Hello Donna Thank you for your opinion, we will take into account your suggestions to improve our service.
Great tour!
Susan_D, Apr 2023

Scott_M, Apr 2023
Our tour guide ,Walter, was fantastic! The tour was a great way to be introduced to most of the famous areas we're familiar with. The bus was very comfortable and the tour was not too fast paced.

Just do it!
Nelia_G, Apr 2023
We took this tour around Christmas. Excellent tour for our short stay in Manhattan. This was the only way to see many places in one day. Our tour guide, Steve, was phenomenal! Informative, funny, while keeping us safe. The bus was clean and comfortable. If you are around during Christmas season, I highly recommend doing their night tour.

Amazing day tour in New York!
Alexander_O, Mar 2023
We took the daytime tour with Rachel. As a family of four, two adults and two ten year olds we were all completely engaged and happy with this tour. Rachel was energetic and super knowledgeable. She was fun and really made the six hours feel fast and exciting. She had a great rapport with everyone and made sure all of our questions were answered and even made sure the kids were included in everything. We would highly recommend her to others!

Brandon was amazing and very knowledgeable. If we had more time would love to do the night tour with Brandon.
Missed it
DebbieHills_G, Mar 2023
We missed it couldnt find stop and missed the tour cant rate have emailed but as yet have not had a reply
A great experience!
Martha_R, Mar 2023
Don was our tour guide and did an absolutely fantastic job of informing us of the history of buildings, bridges and events. He engaged us with his humor and knowledge. Although it was a bus tour, it entailed the right amount of off and on experiences. I would recommend it to anyone but especially 1st time visitors. You’ll learn things you’d never get on your own. I don’t spend money easily but I have to say, this was well worth it.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Martha: Thank you very much for your review, we are glad you enjoyed our tour. Hope to see you again.
Not handicap accessible
Stephaine_K, Mar 2023
I don’t even know where to start… we drove to NY from PA, for what was supposed to be a handicap accessible 6 hour bus tour. This tour was the farthest away from being accessible and was very fast pace. Our tour bus guide was okay, pretty sarcastic and to me it was a bit rude how he handled some situations with my mother. I understand NY is a fast pace place but when you can only get to places that are down and up a ginormous hill, or up and down 3 flights of stairs with no elevator, or having to walk a block outside to get to an elevator just to take you down to a bathroom indoors… is a bit ridiculous! I was not happy with how un accessible it truly was!
See the sights with a real New Yorker!
Rachel_E, Mar 2023
Our tour was on a cold and rainy day - we we're warm and comfy in our bus. Saw all the best bits of the city with a real 'New Yorker' as a tour guide.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hello Rachel: Thank you very much for your review, we are glad you enjoyed our tour. Hope to see you again.
