We had an amazing time. This was my sixth time to New York and I loved seeing it from New Jersey. Sebastian was our driver and he did fantastic with our ladies group. We took some wonderful photos and he was our photographer.
Millie was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable of the tour and general information of the area. Will definitely book another tour!
Milly has been a wonderful guide. We didn't know that the cities of Hoboken and Weehawken (New Jersey) were so nice. Thanks for all these discoveries!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering Hoboken and Weehawken. Many visitors are surprised to find that some of the most spectacular views of the New York City skyline are actually from across the river in New Jersey. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Millie. She loves introducing guests to these hidden gems and sharing the history, stories, and unique character of the area. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience soon!
You get to go places you wouldn't know to go to see by yourself... the most beautiful views of The New York Skyline I have ever seen!

Tour was scheduled to take place at 6:30 p.m. Hours before cancelled as we were the only guests. Money was refunded immediately, were already on the way to the meeting point by taxi. So taxi paid for free and also had no lights ride.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback, und es tut uns sehr leid für die kurzfristige Absage Ihrer Skyline Night Tour. Leider musste die Tour aufgrund der zu geringen Teilnehmerzahl abgesagt werden, und wir verstehen vollkommen, wie enttäuschend dies war — besonders nachdem Sie bereits auf dem Weg zum Treffpunkt waren und Taxikosten entstanden sind. Wir freuen uns, dass die Rückerstattung sofort bearbeitet wurde, möchten uns aber dennoch aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten und die entgangene Erfahrung entschuldigen. Wir hoffen, Sie bei einem zukünftigen Besuch in New York erneut bei Royal City Tours begrüßen zu dürfen, damit wir Ihnen ein besseres Erlebnis bieten können. Beste Grüße, Royal City Tours
Someone else and I were waiting 20 minutes before the required schedule to start the Tour, but no one showed up so it could not be done. I just hope you'll give me a refund of what I paid for something that wasn't done.

Such beautiful views of the city! Millie our driver was so fun and kind! She helped us get some great pictures!!
I wasn’t able to go on the tour I was looking forward to be driven. I got to the location and waited for almost ten minutes I called the number and spoke to a woman who called the driver Apparently, the driver had gotten into an accident and was waiting for the police to come, and they canceled the tour. I was a little upset because I had nothing else to do and everything was booked. I feel sorry for the driver. I hope he was OK. And they didn’t end up giving a refund
We apologize for the inconvenience caused, and appreciate your understanding. The tour reservation was canceled with a full refund. We look forward to providing a fun experience in the future, thank you.
Sebastian was fantastic! Super knowledgeable, friendly and personable. He was a very good guide and we’d definitely tour with him again. The tour design gave us the most wonderful city lights view. Very well done!
