Did this tour last week, and despite the pouring rain had a ball. Loved all the stories that the other tours don't tell you about. Would do the same tour again. Judy Australia

Last Sunday, I took my 2nd RNY Tour and introduced two of my traveling companions to their first!! Our guide, Jimmy, was terrific! He concentrated on the history of the Revolutionary War in NYC because when I booked the tour, I indicated that I had just read McCullough's "1776!" What a generous and special thing to do!! Our brains were... More

We had the most wonderful day with our guide Greg. We saw so many interesting places - both "touristy" and off the beaten path. Greg knew a lot about the city and shared so many interesting facts with us. The day gave us real confidence to continue exploring the city on our own. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Our guide, Greg, picked us up in our hotel lobby and off we went on our 6-hr private tour. Even though it was raining, we got to see almost everything we wanted to. Greg made us feel like friends that he was taking around the city. He was very knowledgable about the history of New York City and you could... More

Our tour guide was Nathan and we could not have had a better day. He was personable and very knowledgeable. He took the time to interview us as we started the day and personalized the tour to what fit our interests. He was very attentive to our needs and we felt like he was taking his personal friends on "his... More

Our guide, Ted, took the four of us on six-hour walking tour that showed us the highlights of Manhattan. Actually, he extended the time in order to be sure we got to see everything we wanted. He showed us how to use the subway, and we became quite comfortable doing that which was a big help during the rest of... More

We had Trey as our guide on the Dozen Apples tour. He was so enthusiastic and kept everyone's energy up the whole day - you could tell he really loved the city. We were stunned at how much we got to see, and it really was the 'real' NY - beautiful, quirky, and fascinating. Trey's stories and knowlege of the... More

Fantastic day out! I have to admit we were a bit apprehensive about a six hour walking tour but it wasn't taxing at all. We made several trips on the subway to leapfrog Manhattan so there was plenty of sitting down too. Our guide, Shawn was simply marvellous. His knowledge was extensive and we saw things that we'd never have... More

My wife and I took the Big Apple 6 hour private tour and it was an outstanding introduction to the city. Don't kid yourself if you are not in shape, there is a lot of walking. Still if we had wandered around on our own with maps and guidebooks, we would have ended up walking way more and seeing way... More

We saw more on this tour then we could have ever imagined! Our guide Joe was extremely informative and lots of fun! He made sure to show us the places that were of interest to us. After travelling the subway with him and showing us the ropes we were able to figure out and ride the subways ourselves for the... More
