4.00Gives you a great overview of New York. Enough time at 9/11; times square; ferry trip was good to see Statue of Liberty, central park. Lyonel our guide was fun, cheerful and happy to take questions. It was a good group and not too many of us and you can't guarantee that of course.
Great overview tour

5.00We had a great day out. Lyonel was a fantastic guide and I feel that we saw a lot in one day. Enough detail to keep it interesting but not so much that it got boring. I also enjoyed the time where we could explore quickly by ourselves.
Outstanding Tour

5.00Our guide Kevin Phiney and driver Ender were fantastic! Loved that Kevin used music in the tour. Made it very entertaining. The history that he shared was very interesting and makes us want to learn more. Kevin’s recommendations on what to see were appreciated and we have tixs to see the Empire State Building today. Ender made us feel very safe on NYC streets. That was not our feeling when we drove ourselves into town. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.
