Best tour of NYC - Jim was our tour guide, Mark our driver. Jim was fabulous, an authentic New Yorker. He gave us interesting, gritty and realistic stories at all the locations. It was totally engaging. Mark had a knack of finding good places to park even when they didn't seem to exist! It was the most interesting tour of our holiday in NYC.

Pretty good, pretty good - Pretty good little tour for the price. Did visit prime location in all boroughs yet the visit in Harlem seemed rushed verses other locations. Only drawback was wishing the bus was around for it was very hot outside.

Excellent tour! - This was a fantastic tour, especially on a really hot day when you do not want to have to navigate the city alone. Jim Q and Alan were an excellent team. I enjoyed Jim’s humor and as a native New Yorker he was full of information. The day flew by and I enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommend.

Great tour!! - Jim and Allen were great!! Jim knew so much about the neighborhoods and kept us on schedule at each stop. They also made sure we knew how to get back to where we needed to go since the drop off was at a different location.

Bus Tour with Tony - Tony made the experience great! He was patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Such a great host. Seeing New York with him is a must do when in New York. Such great stops in the Brookland, Bronx, and Queens. The Apollo is a must see. I appreciate Tony taking pictures for us too.
