Amazing tour of NYC with Kevin and Juan

5.00Kevin was not only a fantastic tour guide with an immense knowledge of the history and present day of NYC but he was also a very inspiring person. Great people skills, humour in abundance, a natural herder of young penguins, with a sharp eye for NYC water towers! Juan was a great driver and made the tour very easy, even managing to navigate around road closures due to NYC marathon.
Worth the price

5.00The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made it fun and interesting. We loved it! There was a fair amount of walking and for two old people with canes, it was doable. The guide made sure we were helped when we needed it. This tour was well worth the price. Places we never would have seen otherwise and facts and information it would have taken us a long time to accumulate.
A good overview of New...

5.00A good overview of New York on an enclosed van. Quite a few stops which is great, but in/out of van gets tiring. Tour guide, Brooklyn Jim made the trip worthwhile as his knowledge of NY is extensive and has lots of fun stories. Highly recommend.

5.00It was a great way of seeing the main bits of New York in a day. ‘Brooklyn Jim’ was a fantastic tour guide, mixing knowledge and personal insight with humour and person-ability. I could not recommend this enough, particularly if you’re short on time and want to see as much of New York as possible. Great value too.
Would highly recommend
