It Was definitely worth the money. He knew and gave us so much information it was very cool! His jokes were even a little funny! Hahaha He was very good at keeping us together and keeping our attention. We would recommend this business to our family and friends for sure!

Took the New York in One Day Tour and it was an Fantastic choice. Don, our tour guide and Carlos, our driver were awesome. We got to see and hear about all the sights, experienced the Staten Island ferry and ate at a nice food court for lunch. Highly recommend this tour. The bus was really nice with comfy Leather seats as well.
