5.00I booked this tour for my mom’s first trip to New York, and it was the perfect way for her to see all the main sights comfortably and without stress. NYC can be a bit overwhelming, but the guide, Rhonda, made everything effortless! My mom absolutely lover her — Rhonda’s energy, knowledge, and fun insights made the whole experience unforgettable. She and the driver, Jimmy, were the perfect team and made my mom’s first trip to the city truly special.

5.00We had a great time. We were running 5 minutes behind and they called and they waited for us traffic was a nightmare worse than normal is what I hear. This put us behind so it was a little rushed but it was a great time and the driver and the tour guide were both excellent and I would recommend this to others
