Our family (myself, my husband and 2 kids - ages 22 and 26) went to New York for 4 days and decided to do the 9-hour tour as soon as we arrived on Satuday around 11:00 am. Jared, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable of everything in New York and besides showing us so many sites, he also showed us... More

My husband and I chose Family in New York because they offer tours for individuals with disabilities. Jared, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the city and the public transportation system. This allowed us to see all the sites on our itinerary, while also accomodating my limited mobility. If traveling to NYC, and are considering a private guide, I highly... More

This is the car service and tour company to choose. Scott was waiting for us at the airport with a sign with our name on it, unlike another car service which we used in the past (we had to go outside in the cold to find our driver). Never again; we will always use Family In New York. We had... More

We used Family in New York for our airport transfer, 9 hr guided tour and to purchase tickets to a Broadway show. From the time we first made contact by e-mail the level of service was excellent. Once we had confirmed and paid our deposit, we had unrestricted access to Scott for information, tips, recommendations and planning information. This was... More

I contracted online with Family in New York to provide town car transportation from LaGuardia Airport to Manhattan for my 17-year old daughter, who was traveling alone on this leg of her trip. Not only did their driver show up when and where he was expected, but thanks to Scott at Family in New York, they provided service that was... More

An absolute great tour. Very reasonably priced for a private tour. Riding on top of a big bus in New York didn't really seem appealing to me and I'm so lucky I stumbled across Family in New York. Heidi was a great guide and was very accommodating and knowledgable. I was with my 6 year old daughter and she was... More

I can't recommend Family in New York enough. Our family of four (including 2 kids age 11 and 8) just returned from a 4-day weekend in NYC. Based on all the positive reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided to book with Family in New York. In planning which day to do the tour, Scott Piedmonte, the owner of Family in New... More
