      Worth it
      This tour has a lot going for it. So here’s a list of the pluses and minuses - There’s only 24 people so it’s very intimate. Our bus held 42 people so you aren’t crowded either. - Our guide Bryant was extremely knowledgeable, funny and made our tour very special. - In 6 hours we covered most of Manhattan with a few walking opportunities. - We really got a great feel for the neighborhoods and what sets them apart. - Our Staten Island Ferry experience was outstanding. - There is some walking required. Our step counter registered around 5300 steps. - The bus was hot. We had to ask the driver every time we got on to turn on the A/C.

      Great tour. Highly recommend!
      We had a great time on this tour. Bryant, our guide, and Guy, our driver, gave us a wonderful overview of New York along with detailed information about the sites we visited. I should note that this is a small tour (only about 10 people) so you get a lot of individual attention and the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. I did not realize that this was a small tour when we booked but that was definitely an added bonus and worth the extra money that we paid for this tour compared to some of the offers that I considered.

      Great tour!! Bryant was super knowledgeable about New York and made the tour fun and enjoyable. Guy was a great driver and made the tour fun as well. My husband is handicap and they both were amazing with helping us along the tour and ensuring my husband was comfortable. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see the sites of New York.

      Excellent and fun tour that covers a lot of sights!
      This is an excellent overview tour of New York. The tour uses a small bus that only holds about 15 people so you get a lot of personal attention and additional information on any questions you may have. Tour guide Bryant was fun and as a native New Yorker had a ton of knowledge and facts about the city. We had stops at Washington park, the Brooklyn bridge, the 911 memorial and a boat tour around the statue of liberty. Bryant had special uncrowded places on the boat ride where you could take excellent pictures of the statue, Ellis Island, the New York skyline, and New Jersey. The tour covers a lot of ground and passes through many parts of the city such as Central Park, Chinatown, the diamond and garment districts, the financial district, Greenwich Village, Times Square and more!

      Memorable and in-depth tour of New York!!
      This small bus tour is great for small group of visitors. Especially for elderly people, such as my mother (70+). The sites and landmarks covered were carefully selected which has saved us lots of time on bookings. The tour guide Bryant was absolutely fantastic. Very passionate and enthusiastic creating a comforting atmosphere and entertainment through his comedy. This trip can be enjoyed among all age groups.

      Good but expensive. Finished earlier than expected.
      Our guide was informative but did get very friendly with three visitors, which was very noticeable. We also finished over a half an hour earlier than expected.

      NYC Tour w/Bryant
      We went on a very hot and humid day - just the right amount of walking versus boat ride and driving. Bryant is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend.

      Bryant was our tour guide and we had a blast. You can tell that this guy really puts his all into this tour. It was a pleasant way to see a lot in a short period of time. Would recommend the tour to a friend.

      Phenomenal
      Frankie was phenomenal and very personable. He has so much knowledge of the city and personal experiences . I highly recommend this tour! If you have minimal time you will cover a lot in a half day. If you are going to be here for a few days do this at the beginning of your trip. Then if you would like to go back to somewhere it touches on you can.

    There is no doubt that Bryant, the guide, has aspiration to become a standup comedian but he should go to improv nights rather than practice with paying customers. I found the jokes and impressions not really funny but, mostly, there was just too much of it.
    The tour is a bit thin on content. Of the six hours, you spend a little over 2 hours on the (free) Staten Island ferry where you can see the Statue of Liberty from quite a distance. You also get 30 minutes free to eat some fast food at the ferry terminal. The rest of the time you spend sitting in a mini bus where you are told very little. I thought that the actual content to be insufficient for the price. For example, you are dropped at St-Patrick's Cathedral that you explore on your own then you follow the guide through the Rockefeller center to find the bus. A lot of the places listed on their website you barely see (from a distance).
    Not worth it in my opinion and the joking what really getting on my nerves.

    I booked this off of the reviews. I asked questions prior to the tour and they were always answered promptly. I also called the day of because I was a little confused on what kind of bus we were taking and where exactly it would be parked and my call was answered. I enjoyed the bus and boat tour. Bryant was amazing as a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city and made the tour upbeat so it didn't seem like 6 hours. He also took great pictures of our family! Thank you Bryant for making every family feel like they were the only ones there.
    The only bummer part was the fact that we had a group of 6 on the tour that wasn't supposed to be on the tour and they slowed us down so we had to hurry at the end and missed seeing Central Park.

    Loved this tour. Smaller group made it more flexible and personal. Loved Bryant who was very knowledgeable and hilarious. Even my older teenagers appreciated his sense of humor. He could be a stand up comedian. Thank you for taking all our IG family pics. Thank you to the co for being flexible and allowing us to change your dates at the last minute since our flight into NYC was delayed by over 4 hrs

    Bryant was our tour guide and did an excellent job. Very informative, friendly and hospitable. He was very knowledgeable and told us many details that made the trip worthwhile for all attendees, regardless of age. He was fun and exactly the right mix of pleasure and insight. The driver was Wilson and also did an excellent job navigating safely through the complex streets. The boat ride was just right also. We definitely recommend this team and this tour.

    My husband and I had an awesome tour yesterday with Frank and Guy. Frank named us Florida, because we’re from Florida.😊We were with some people whom he named, Canada, L.A. Nigeria and Manila. It was a fantastic tour, very informative and entertaining. It was like having stand up comedians in the bus while having a tour. 😂They don’t just do this because it’s their job, they love doing it. We are NYC first timers and because we had a wonderful time we’re definitely coming back soon.

    This was an amazing tour. Martin did such a good job talking us through the tour. His stories were great! The boat ride was perfect for viewing the Statue of Liberty. Buy the fruit heading in to the ferry! It was amazing!
    Loved all the drive by sites and stopped just enough to not get stiff. The 911 memorial was remarkable and Martin had so many facts that I didn't know.
    We are from a small town in Indiana and were very nervous about the BIG city. I felt safe the whole time! I will recommend this to everyone I know heading to NYC.

    Our tour was amazing from beginning to end. Our tour guide Bryant was humorous, knowledgeable, accommodating, and funny. He was definitely born in the 1900s yet filled with the right disposition for this unique job.

    Bryant was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the area as he is native. He also kept us entertained during a small traffic jam. This is a good tour to take for someone that does not know much about Manhattan.
