This was a great tour! Bobby was a great guide with so much energy. And I saw so much in 5 hours. I did the hop on and hop off tour the following day and whilst it isn’t as exhausting, you simply don’t get to see what we saw on this tour. I thought it was great and definitely a great thing to do as soon as you get to NYC. Just a word of warning - to do the 5 hour tour in the heat of summer is tiring - I think I did 18,000 steps that day! But, I’d definitely recommend!

The best tour I have had in NYC. Jonah knew all the best places to see and the easiest route to get there. I definitely got my step count up for this tour. But most of all the variety of food and information in regards to culture was amazing. And best of all I was even more lucky to be in a group of just 3 people. And most of all he did the most amazing job of making me look good in pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour.

WE SAW EVERYTHING!! Perfect

We booked this tour as we wanted to see all the top sights in 1 tour. This tour didn’t disappoint. They aren’t joking when they say 30 Top Sights. Lots of walking but it was like walking around with a bunch of friends Other tour groups are huge : these guys limit the number of adults to 10. Makes it more personal and less of a commercial tour It was brilliant, the guide was brilliant and the group was great fun DONT HESITATE : BOOK THIS TOUR !!!!
