5.00Great way to see main sites of Manhattan especially if you need a gentler mobility tour. Four hours in a very comfortable AC’d bus. Garret was a superb tour guide. Exceptionally knowledgeable but funny & courteous. Take any tour he leads! His cohort Moni was great w/ logistics. We learned a lot about NYC today. Highly recommend Garret & this tour.
Great tour and guide.

5.00Our tour guide was both informative and entertaining. The bus was comfortable and cool. We had four stops which was just the right amount. I do recommend that you bring a bottled water and a snack since there isn't a "lunch break".
Incredible tour guide and speaker!

5.00The tour operator Jarod, was absolutely incredible. Has the voice of a radio station speaker and was so eloquent with speech and vocabulary. I was so drawn in! He knew everything about everything NYC. He has done this for many many years and you can tell! It was the perfect tour of seeing the entire city and highlights but only 4 hours. Gave us a great perspective of NYC and all the neighborhoods. After this tour my kids wanted to spend their free day biking around Central Park after seeing that on the tour. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Kathryn from San Francisco
