Experience NYC made our one day in NYC!
Booked a full day tour guide w/driver through Experience NYC. Our guide Jared was awesome, it was my husband’s first time in NYC. Jared had an itinerary for first timers and allowed us to add a couple of stops-very flexible. His knowledge and love for NYC made it fun and entertaining. Our driver Benny had real skills managing NYC traffic. It was truly a great experience!

Great way to see the City
We had a wonderful day exploring NY city. Richard was super knowledgeable and fun. Really great to hear local history and knowledge interwoven together. Richard shared personal stories and experiences of growing up and living in New York which gave us a better understanding of the City. Appreciated the flexibility in pace and options of what we wanted to see.

Very good tour. Not enough time for all the things listed.
Phil, was our guide and very knowledgeable. He showed us everything he could on the time that was allotted. I do think the schedule is a bit misleading. We hustled in order to show us everything on that list.

Awesome Tour
Our private tour guide, Johannes, was awesome!! Our ship was delayed arriving in port and he graciously offered to meet us where the ship was docked.
This saved us valuable time and allowed us plenty of time for our tour.
We had a few "must sees" on our list and, he made sure that we saw all of them.
He answered our numerous questions with patience and made sure to go at a pace that was comfortable for all.
It was an enjoyable tour.

Five Star Tour
My tour with Mr. Richard was nothing short of exceptional. We planned the tour together of the things I wanted to visit, then we left and he guided me all day explaining and telling me the history of this wonderful city with great professionalism and passion.
Very kind, competent and helpful, he also offered to be my personal photographer.
Stupendous experience
