Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx Private Tour with a Driver-Guide
Description
THIS IS A SOCIALLY DISTANCED TOUR. This private guided tour takes you beyond Manhattan to Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx — the "real New York," where most tourists never venture. Hop out wherever you like! Far more than the Empire State Building, Times Square and Rockefeller Center, on this tour, you'll travel out to visit local neighborhoods, sights and markets and have lunch at a local place. Transportation is provided in the comfort of a roomy late model Toyota Sienna minivan, with capacity to accommodate up to six guests. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRIVATE DRIVING TOUR IS SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM THE CROWDED CITY SIDEWALKS, SUBWAYS AND BUSES.

This was a great day tour with Jim and Mark! Jim's humor and insight into the city made for a fun view of the vast city! So many wonderful sights to see and places to visit.
Absolutely fantastic experience! We learned so much from Scott about areas of New York City most tourists don't visit. It was a very enjoyable day all the way around. Still thinking about the yummy Italian pastries we bought along the way too! I highly recommend this and any of the tours this company offers!
Thank you for taking time to write a review of our Outer Borough Tour! So glad you enjoyed the tour and pastries! All the best until we see you again!
Our guide Scott was excellent. Worth every dime and some. He really knows the city and interesting facts and his food recommendations were spot on. He did such a great job. Thanks for making our trip Scott!
Thanks for exploring the outer boroughs with us. So glad you enjoyed off-the-beaten path New York!
Thanks to Scott for a fantastic tour of DUMBO, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and all the extra little bits in between. We had such a great day, learned so much and will be talking about those delicious Jewish Pastrami Rueben's forever! We will be sure to recommend your tours back home in Australia.
Thanks for the review! We are clearly all on the same page (of the menu). It was great showing you both "The Real New York." And, thanks in advance for the referrals! All the best until next time!
A very expensive tour, and a guide saying almost nothing. The only thing we actually did during this tour was driving around for hours through the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. This was the worst tour we did during our holiday!
Frank, sorry you were disappointed with your tour. Please be reminded you spent approximately 40 minutes on a stroll through Little Italy in the Bronx. There you visited various Italian markets and shops, including your wife spending time in an Italian cookware store where she made the purchase of several items. You also went into an Italian pastry shop in the Bronx where you sat down to have coffee with your family. At Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, you got out of the vehicle and visited the New York Yankee and Football Club Team Store. When in Flushing Meadows Queens, you spend approximately 30 minutes in the Queens Museum walking around the to-scale miniature model of the city called the Panorama. You wanted Mexican food for lunch. So, you were taken to a Mexican neighborhood in Corona Queens. There you got out and had "real" Mexican food in a Mexican "locals" restaurant which you said you enjoyed. In Greenpoint Brooklyn, you got out of the vehicle and walked through Transmitter Park to the East River's edge for views of the Manhattan skyline across the river. You also got out of the vehicle for a stroll in DUMBO Brooklyn, one of the most exciting new neighborhoods in New York City. These facts clearly contradict your claim that "The only thing we actually did during this tour was driving around for hours." You also charge you had "a guide saying almost nothing." We never heard that charge before, against this guide or any other. The guide conducting your tour is the same always conducting this tour (and others) and his reviews are steller. Once again, we are sorry the tour did not meet your expectations.
We actually did 2 tours on successive days and each was superb. The first day after an on-time pickup by Scott at the Cape Liberty Cruise Port was New York City in his van and I couldn't believe all that he managed to show us in the 6 hours and the knowledge he imparted. The second day was the Brooklyn Queens Bronx Tour in his van and again it was much more than we expected. I would never have thought how interesting it would be to visit Louis Armstrong's house and learn about him from Scott. Scott then delivered us to Newark Airport for our departure flight. The only disappointment was that Scott helped me buy a ticket in the billion dollar Mega Millions lottery and I didn't win - I didn't even get any numbers! If I had won the first thing on the agenda would have been to do the rest of Scott's tours.
<p>Our tour guide and driver, Scott, was amazing! He gave us so much history and information about the area that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It's a great tour to get out of Manhatten and get some perspective on the entire city. Well worth the time and money spent.</p>
<p>A brilliant day with a private guide. Visited the Bonx and South Bronx. Walked around Little Italy. Guide had all the local knowledge and history. Time was not a problem had a full day exploring. Loved it Loved it</p>
