Fabulous NYC tour with a brilliant friendly tour guide, Cale - a must for all tourists! - We met Cale under the George Cohen statue on a Monday in Times Square and from that point we had the most informative and educational tour of NYC. What a brilliant day! We got to understand the history and culture of NY, plenty of photo opportunities. In a small group was best as we all got to ask questions and really connect with our tour guide - I would definitely recommend this as a great way to see the city!

Great walking tour! - We did this walking tour the first full day in New York. Cale, our guide, did an amazing job!! We had a very small group of five so it was easy to hear and ask questions. We got to see all the sites and learned a lot of history and fun stories about the city. Learning how to use the subway was a nice perk of this tour. We were able to use it the next day and had a general idea of what we were doing! Make this part of your trip!!

Be fore-warned this is over 15,000 steps walking tour! However, it will be forever memorable! - You really feel like you see all of Manhattan in one day! Great guide! Great sites. Wonderful history and insider information. Personally insightful and definitely inspiring. A truly great, although exhausting, day. Plan a down day before or after this tour day and you will be fine. Seniors need to be very fit to participate.

Great Tour to get to know Manhattans most important sights - The Tour was amazing it covered almost everything you need to see in Manhattan. My Tourguide John Bow was really great, he was friendly answered all questions and knew so much about City and its history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has no problem with walking for a while and taking the Subway, which btw is not as bad as you might have heard. The whole Tour provides a view on New York that you will never be able to experience when talking a Bus tour!

Cheated by Viator - Really we have been cheated by this Viator ….we have given clear picture that we can’t able to reach on time for tour because flight has been cancelled due to NYC airport closed due to rough weather condition …but Viator hesitate to listen and refund our money 383 USD ….
Viator can be named as Renowned branded cheater
So guys don’t book this Viator tour
