My first time visiting NYC with my family. Definitely recommend taking this tour bus. Well worth the money. Our tour was with Jim and Alan. Alan was an absolutely amazing driver, got us where we needed to go in a timely manner while driving like a true professional. Jim was a hoot of a tour guide, such enthusiasm and passion for his role. He was very knowledgeable of all the areas we went to. Made the 6 hours go by super smoothly with lots of laughs. In the end of the tour Jim personally took us to the subway and showed us our way back. Only recommended I would make to the company, do the lunch time drop off in a different area.

Driver was very courteous and arrived early, but never rushed us. There was regular communication which reassured me throughout and I’d definitely recommend this service.
