Marc was a great guide. Very informative and providing lots of history and cultural information. We lived is humorous attitude and conversation. Our only recommendation for Marc would be to stop by the functioning South tower fountain, since the north is under repairs.

Kevin was an amazing guide. Smart and kind and considerate. We had a great time and learned so much. It was a nice mix of walking and riding. We covered nearly all of Manhattan.

I purchased this tour for my family visiting from Louisiana. The tour guide (Chris) was knowledgeable and entertaining. We are already planning to get tickets for other family members who will visit this summer.

It was a very nice tour led by a super guide in Chris. We were a small group of 7 and it was a good experience. The tour started at Rockefeller Center and went through the major landmarks across the city. Chris was very knowledgeable and explained about the history of a particular place, importance and key landmarks. He gave us plenty of time to see the places, was flexible to adapt to the group requirements. It did involve moderate walking but nothing too stressful. Will recommend this tour for anyone who would like to cover landmarks in a short time and also keen to understand the history of the city.

Ray did an excellent job of explaining the history of the places we visited. Also he was very patient and his witty personality made our ride easy going. Thank you Ray.😊
