Reviews
What a great tour, any first timer to New York City should make this a first day event. Or your guide Joey was very informative and a great speaker. If I ever return, I'll take it again.
I only spent one full day in New York and wanted to see as much as I could with the little time I had. This tour was perfect and I got to see all the highlights! Lyonel was an excellent guide and made sure we stayed on schedule. He was very knowledgeable and had great stories to share. The glass top bus made it even better. Thank you Lyonel!
Joey our tour guide, and Tony our driver were amazing! Welcoming personality and informative.

New York the first class way.
The morning was a bit chaotic until we met our guide Lyonel and his driver in front of our hotel ..we were off to visit old and brand new sites to us. Lyonel picked a route to maximize time efficiently. His knowledge and story telling ability made the time speed by. We were pleased with the service, information,and ease. We definitely recommend!
it's a great tour of...
it's a great tour of Manhattan.. including the neighborhoods and landmarks. having a dedicated driver made the tour go smoothly.
Private SUV/Van tour in Manhattan was perfect on the hottest day of the year!
Just do it! We had a four hour private tour of Manhattan with my wife a two friends from England. We fit so much into 4 hours. The air-conditioned van was perfect and dropped us off and picked us up between viewing sights in the city. Susan was great and I highly recommend.
