New York the first class way.

The morning was a bit chaotic until we met our guide Lyonel and his driver in front of our hotel ..we were off to visit old and brand new sites to us. Lyonel picked a route to maximize time efficiently. His knowledge and story telling ability made the time speed by. We were pleased with the service, information,and ease. We definitely recommend!

Private SUV/Van tour in Manhattan was perfect on the hottest day of the year!

Just do it! We had a four hour private tour of Manhattan with my wife a two friends from England. We fit so much into 4 hours. The air-conditioned van was perfect and dropped us off and picked us up between viewing sights in the city. Susan was great and I highly recommend.

Cooked to listen politics?

Paid to be cooked in the bus because AC wasn’t cooling. Tour guide was talking biased politics, why do we need to listen to the useless stuff. Beautiful tour day was …

Great tour with Rachel in New York City

Rachel was great, she helped us feel like locals and efficiently showed us all the highlights in the city. One thing I would change is the lunch spot that we had, I wish we would’ve had more options to choose from, but overall Rachel was great and lunch location was a minor thing.

Operator response

We appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time to share it with us. Tag or follow us @usaguidedtours

NYC semi private tour. 5 stars. Fantastic tour guide.

Highly recommend this tour. Small group. Knowledgeable tour guide. The 4 hours flew by. Jimmy Hoffman did a fantastic job keeping us entertained. And let’s not forget the guides helper: the chicken. He kept the group together.
