Per one customer who booked the Hamptons Private Day Trip From New York City, "Ronald was fantastic! We had a girls' weekend where my adult daughter and three of her friends were in New York for a concert, and myself and one of the other mothers joined. Ronald was great at being flexible with us so that the itinerary was built around our interests. He made sure we were back on time to the city for a Broadway show that night. He narrated our trip with history, humor, and fun facts. All of us had a fantastic time seeing the Hamptons for the day. We truly couldn't have asked for better!"
