This experience was wonderful! Ronald was the best and I would love to do another tour with him. So knowledgeable.
Silvia, thank for your review and "Excellent" rating, We are so glad you enjoyed your tour with Ronald. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Great tour! Easy to coordinate with a flexible itinerary, we had a great time. Would recommend to anyone looking to see the city and learn along the way.
Hi, Thad. Thanks for the review! So glad you had "a great time."
We chose this tour because a member of our group was 7 months pregnant and walking was not an option. Communication was excellent even before the day of the tour. On the day of the tour, Ron and Billy picked us up in front of our hotel. Both asked us what we wanted to see and explore. Once we had decided on a game plan, we were off. Well, as much as you can be in Manhattan traffic on a Saturday. Honestly, I much prefer walking tours, but if circumstances dictate the need for transportation - this is the way to go. We covered the city from central park to battery park. From the East river to the Hudson. If it was worth seeing, Ron and Billy got us there. The only negative to the day was that the traffic kept slowing us down. Ron and Billy secretly compensated for the traffic issues as the tour was a little longer than planned. The two made a great pair and while Billy was the guide that walked with us, Ron had an extreme amount of knowledge to share as he was getting us from point to point. The two were a great pair and genuinely care about your experience. As a matter of fact, our tour went a little long and toward the end they asked us about dinner. I told them that we had reservations at Carmine's but probably would not make it because of the delay. Billy attempted several calls to the restaurant to discuss our reservation and lateness. No one from Carmine's answered the phone, so Billy walked us into the restaurant to make sure we were seated. Amazing day with two amazing people.
Wow! "Amazing" is pretty good. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!
This tour was well worth the investment. Ronald was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about NY as we travelled around. He was accommodating, friendly and we were able to see so much in 6 hours. Highly Recommend!!!
Hi, Amy. Sorry for the delay responding - we have been overwhelmed! So glad you found your tour of New York City with us to be a good investment. Thanks for your review!
We spend the day with Joel and Freddy. Joel is entertainer and quide. Coincidental he had lived in Amsterdam. My university city so we had a lot to chat about Excellent explanation of NY history and buildings. Amazing calm driving from Freddy made the day unforgettable We traveled with a nearly 2 year old what made it a bigger challenge but everyone enjoyed and adjusted perfectly
Thanks for your review! Not sure how our response slipped through the cracks. So pleased you enjoyed your tour with Joel and Freddy. We have already sent them copies of your review. Thank you, again!
This experience was even more fabulous than I thought it would be! So much better than jockeying for a good seat on an overcrowded bus! I highly recommend having the separate guide as Dan was able to tell us wonderful facts about what we were seeing when we left the car, while Robert the driver could drive around or wait for us. Robert also gave us some good facts. The two worked well together even though this was their first time. They totally customized what we saw to our interests which can be hard with two teenage boys in tow. My oldest was fascinated to see what he was learning about in his US history classes. Of course we were blessed with amazing weather but I believe they would have made it great even if it were raining. I wish i could give it 10 stars.
Wow! Thanks for your great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your day and time with Dan and Robert. All the best to your Texas family, from your Family in New York.
Terrible, awful experience. Wouldn't ever use this company again, in New York or any other locations.
The experience provided this traveler wasn't any different than that provided all our guests. In an effort to get the tour for free, Sooty complained to Viator, though he never complained to us during the tour or afterward. Failing to get satisfaction from Viator, Sooty filed to get his money back from the credit card issuer. The third-party objective credit card issuer also refused to refund Sooty's money, upon learning the facts of the story. Crime doesn't pay Sooty (quite an appropriate name for one of such integrity and moral character). New York State Penal Law § 165.15 Theft of Services states, "A person is guilty of theft of services when... 3. With intent to obtain railroad, subway, bus, air, taxi or any other public transportation service without payment of the lawful charge therefor, or to avoid payment of the lawful charge for such transportation service which has been rendered to him, he obtains or attempts to obtain such service or avoids or attempts to avoid payment therefor by force, intimidation, stealth, deception or mechanical tampering, or by unjustifiable failure or refusal to pay..." he is guilty of Theft of Service.
The driver and tour guide was GREAT!! We have absolutely no complaints. We had a great experience, learned a lot and saw a lot. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Hi, S- Thanks for the review! I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. Please give our regards to the rest of the group. All the best to the Sweet 16 young woman and the rest of the group. Scott (the other S-)
This was our first trip to the Big Apple and we wanted to get the skinny from a local guide. Our guide's name was Mr. Piedmonte and he was punctual, courteous, accommodating, and very informative. He actually extended our tour by 90 minutes without our asking because he wanted us to see more of his city. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC.
Thank you for your review Thomas and thank your for your recommendation! I am so glad you enjoyed your tour. All the best to you!
We had so much to see and so little time and this is a perfect way to get a great feel of the city. Scott our driver loves New York and it shows in the lovely way he tours the city. Wonderful van clean and professional in every way. Will do it again very time I am in the New York area.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you plan to include us in your future visits to the city. We look forward to seeing you again!
