Great experience!
Ronald , our guide, was amazing. He communicated all details of the excursion extremely well. He was punctual and very knowledgeable. A must for anyone visiting New York.

Ronald was a great tour...
Ronald was a great tour guide. On time and easy to locate. Very flexible for what you wanted to see with the time you have. We booked on a Saturday night. Lots of traffic but he knew how to manoeuvre through the streets. Also very knowledge with the city’s history. Definitely worth it.
Operator response

Would recommend, loved it. Good value for money.
We were able to tweak the tour, leaving a little earlier as wanted to visit the 9/11 memorial. Picked up at 5pm (instead of 7). Our guide Scott was friendly and had a lot of knowledge. The spots we went to were the tourist spots, so busy. He was patient and took a couple of group photos for us. He seemed interested in us and our individual holiday- which I am sure he has heard a million times. We would not have got to see the New York night skyline without this tour. Some great stops for photo opportunities, without being in the city itself. We loved it and would recommend. The use of vehicle, fuel, insurance etc all within the price. So a reasonable price- we spilt 3 ways as a group of 3. Would recommend.

Magical Christmas Lights Tour
This private tour was one of the highlights of our New York long weekend! Scott is fabulous! He showed us so many beautiful lights and hi lights of New York at Christmas! Rockefeller Christmas tree, 5th Avenue windows, Hudson Yards, the Plaza Hotel, New York Public Library were a few showstoppers! Scott is so personable and knowledgeable. He made the trip the kind of night you didn’t want to end! He even showed my friend China Town and Little Italy as a bonus! Highly recommend!

A tour to always remember
This was a wonderful experience and private tour, my wife and I enjoyed the amount of knowledge our guide proved us about the City and surroundings. We were able to see New York in many ways we have never seen it before. From the night skyline to enjoying a cozy night stroll through all parts of the city, it was a trip to remember!

A Different Perspective!
Having visited New York City in the past and doing all the "iconic" things, we decided to do something different on this visit. As avid amateur photographers, we were interested in seeing and photographing the city at night. Our guide/driver, Ronald, knew some great spots for photos all around the city and even across the river. Not only was he knowledgeable about the city and its history, but he was very patient with us as we took many more photos than he probably anticipated. We got some beautiful shots of the city after dark thanks to Ronald's recommendations. It's definitely a different perspective of the city and, since there were only the two of us on this private tour, we could take as much time as needed to get the shots we wanted. I highly recommend this private night tour, especially if you are interested in photography.
