Jim was spectacular hosting us through the city.. from joking to detailed info of the city he kept everyone entertained. This was my first time doing a tour in a city before as well as a first time visit to NYC and I couldn't of had a better time anywhere else.
Excellent dusk to dark tour of NYC. Robert the tour guide, life long New Yorker, gave the insider view of life and history of the City that never sleeps. Best part of the tour is the three different bus stops and walks that give you an insiders visit to some of the best landmarks. The bus was comfortable, climate controlled and complementary water. Highly recommend this tour that feels private not just a hop on hop off double decker. Bonus points when the tour ended at the last stop we saw Pam Anderson leaving her Broadway play!

In order to maintain a more intimate atmosphere on our public tours, we utilize small capacity tour buses of up to 15 passengers.
