New York can be overwhelming, but this tour was the best way to see the highlights of the city in 6 hours. Bryant, our tour guide, was both informative and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour!

We just returned from this tour, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Everything was so well organized, and every detail felt carefully thought out. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun while sharing so many interesting stories and facts that really brought each place to life.
The itinerary was the perfect balance of sightseeing, learning, and relaxing. We never felt rushed, yet we saw and experienced so much. The transportation was comfortable, the pace was just right, and every stop had something unique and memorable.
This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a stress-free, enriching, and truly enjoyable adventure!

It's a good way to see all the main tourist sites in a day, much better than trying to manage all the logistics alone. Bryant was an excellent guide and made the experience fun and memorable.
David_S, Jul 2025

The ferry is free anyway, was a bit rushed, the tour guide was smoking whilst pointing out sites, and talking with a mouth full of food.

Tyrone our tour guide was a perfect blend of knowledge and humor. Ali our bus driver was a real pro. He was safe and skilled.
We saw and learned so much. The boat ride was a wonderful end to seeing the monuments that we walked by earlier from the water.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Our tour guide Bryant was exceptional, engaging, and personable – the kind of person you'd love to spend time with. I give them high praise. The tour was fascinating, and I learned a new things My husband and the tour guide had a fantastic time exchanging witty one-liners. Additionally, the way the guide, Bryant, interacted with a child in our group was heartwarming; he knew exactly how to keep him engaged.

Bryant, Guy & the lady were very nice.
Bryant is so knowledgeable, he should teach a history class of New York City.
It was an enjoyable & informative tour.

Our tour guide, Frank, was amazing!!!
He knew so many interesting facts about New York. Loved every minute of it!!
Mary_P, Oct 2024
For the amount of time we had, we saw lots of nyc landmarks. Bryant was both informative and entertaining. Wish us old-timers could have been picked up at the cruise ship, but taxi service was quick and easy. Highly recommend.
Eileen_S, Oct 2024
Our tour guide was fabulous. His knowledge about the sights was extensive and he had a great sense of humor!! All in all a very enjoyable trip.
Elizabeth_S, Sep 2024
Our tour guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw quite a lot of NYC during the time we had.
The lunch stop could have been a more comfortable place with a much better menu. I wish the 9/11 stop had included time at the museum.
Marjorie_G, Sep 2024
Highlight of the day World Trade Center. Bryant gave a somber and thorough explanation of where we were and what it means to New Yorkers.
Nazmi_S, Aug 2024
The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the city and its historical buildings
However they skipped the stop at the Empire State Building and the passing by Central Park
The bus needs major maintenance the suspension springs were noisy and squeaky I felt every bump in the road
Judy_L, Aug 2024
Martin is the best! He made the trip so enjoyable. His ability to inform us about NYC through entertaining & real life stories brought the city to life for us. The small group experience is well worth the price. I highly recommend!
ggee40, Aug 2024
Very good tour and experience tour guide. A lot to take in and see but was worth the cost. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared great NY examples. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Laura_S, Aug 2024
Our guide, Martin, was incredible. I loved that he loved his city, shared not only the best sights, but gave us extra to see. He kept the tour moving so we can see it all! I also loved that he shared his neighborhood and where he went to school and the various stories he told. We highly recommend this tour!
Kathy_K, Aug 2024
Bryant was a superb tour guide. Provided lots of information in an entertaining way. Guy, our driver was phenomenal as well.
Connie_D, Aug 2024
Martin was a wonderful tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the city was reflected in the excitement he shared about everything he shared. Learned so much about NY! He was very protective of “his group” as we toured! Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see New York in a day! Guy, the driver, was awesome too! A+ experience

Cynthia_M, Jul 2024
Our tour guide was AMAZING!! He really made our trip memorable. We learned so much about New York thanks to him. If you can request guides, ask for Bryant. You won’t regret it 😊
MICHELE_H, Jul 2024
This was a fantastic experience! First time visit for my boys (12 and 15) and me. It was well worth the extra money to have a small group (20). We were able to take in all of the classic tourist sites in a well paced way.
The best part of the tour was our guide Bryant. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to share unique facts and funny stories. I appreciated the somber and respectful way he approached touring the 9/11 memorial.
He offered a shortcut for the ferry that gave us the best view on board. It was perfect. We also stopped for a great lunch. It was a little pricey, but again the quality was worth it.
This tour is a little more expensive than some of the others, but well worth it.
One piece of advice. When you are looking for the pick up spot, look for the black small buses. And then a guy asks you if you’re there for the “small bus tour” the answer is yes. It was a little anxiety provoking not being sure if we were where we were supposed to be for the pick up and there weren’t any signs, but once we were sure we were in the right place it was great.
john_s, Jul 2024
The tour we took yesterday through NYC was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Bryant was awesome and our driver Maria was just as great. Being able to see so many landmarks in 6 hours and to hear the history behind them made this the best tour we have ever taken. Thank you so much to Bryant and Maria for making this a trip my wife and I will never forget.
Thank you, John Sgourakis
