INCREDIBLE NYC Tour experience!!!

The tour was absolutely incredible. Our driver, Guy, really moved us! And our tour guide, Bryant, was super fun and energetic. I especially appreciated his commentary on underrated dreamworks classic Epic and the Tron franchise. Bryant was also incredibly knowledgeable about New Yorks cultural and architectural history, which I really appreciated. As fresh inductees into the 6-Hour Bus and Boat hall of Fame, I highly recommend studying up on your UN trivia. 10/10 Would Highly Recommend

Unremarkable

The tour started late, which happens. We were informed early and often of the time adjustments, which was great. The guide did give buy us free hot chocolate for our inconvenience. The actual tour, however, was very underwhelming. It is possible that our earlier tours being so wonderful had our expectations higher than they should have been. The tour guide,Ava, was a bit too off topic chatty for my taste. We did not go to Rockefeller Center, a stop at Bloomingdales that was to be the bathroom stop was ‘canceled ‘ because the store was closed by the time we arrived. Ava was a perfectly sweet and polite girl, just doesn't appear to be the polished guides we encountered on our other Viator tours of the week. We wound up getting off earlier because the end point was not where the tour started. Im not sure if that was stated anywhere in printed the tour information, but I definitely did not see it. Overall, not a miserable time but nothing I would recommend.

Unsatisfied customer

Not satisfied, the tour did not start till 8:00 pm and ended @10:00 pm which in the info it was told from 6:30pm to 9:30pm missing one hour and very late start. We were supposed to be able to stop in Bloomingdales on the tour, it was closed because of the late start, some of the tour was not complete. This tour group needs to be more correct in their times and reroute their tours.

Terrible Service

The time was changed though I got several reminders that the time was 6:30. My husband is in poor health and we took a taxi and stood there in the cold waiting. I called the operator and was told the time changed in November. We had no idea. We will be requesting a refund.

Enjoyable and relaxed

The movie knowledge was great, the timeliness of the bus and fun atmosphere was exactly what we needed after hitting all the tourist lines and attractions. The communication prior to the tour was helpful.
