    Toured the entire Manhattan island. Got to see the northern side and learn about our surroundings. Great experience and a comfortable ride. Wish we knew that snacks and drinks were offered at their cafe prior, because we weren’t sure about that on the info provided online.. otherwise? We had a great time! Would recommend.

    Malachy, our tour guide, is a wonderful story-teller. He really made the city and its history come alive. We've lived in the city a long time and he told us some tales we had never heard. Loved it
