Took this tour with just my wife. It was expensive but having our own driver and tour guide during this busy time of the year was well worth it. Didn't get to stop at as many Christmas decoration locations as I thought we were going to as the traffic was just too crazy. Also didn't get to actually ice-skate at Rockerfeller center but we would have waited in line for hours if we tried. Asked to see Time Square which we did see but couldn't get out of the car to walkaround in as there was just too many people. On a more positive note, we saw more of Manhattan than we had ever seen the last 6 times we have been here. So I would say Christmas decoration or not, it's just a great NYC tour as well. Both Vince and Scott were great and VERY knowledgeable about NYC. Thanks guys!! We will be back.
Steve. Thank you for your review. So glad you enjoyed your time with Scott and Vince. Also glad to hear you will be back. See you then!
This was originally booked as a limo with driver and guide. This was what my granddaughter's were the most excited about. There was no limo and quite a bit of it was walking. The guide and driver were fabulous. I would not have paid $1200.00 for a guide and right very in a van. I could have booked several tours for this amount of money.
There us absolutely no mention of a limo or limousine in the promotionals for this tour. Not sure where this guest got her information.
Our driver Scott was awesome. He worked with us on our itinerary and what we wanted to see and do. When we made a stop, we would call him when we were done and he was right there to pick us up! So worth the price, we will do it again.
Thanks for taking the time to write your review, Stacey. We are so glad to hear there will be a next time. Can't wait!
