WOW......we've just returned from the most amazing trip in NYC thanks to Debbie, our Guide. We first met Debbie while on a tour of the 9/11 Memorial & Financial District, about a year ago. We were so impressed by the caliber of that tour that we knew that Debbie would be the ONLY tour guide for us, when we booked a return tripto NYC, this year. We contacted Debbie with rather extensive wish list of our NYC "must-see, must-do" sights and venues and O'Boy did we ever see and do it ALL! Here are just a few places we visited - One World Observatory at the World Trade Center, the Oculus Hub, City Hall Park, a walk across the famous Brooklyn Bridge (a must do), pizza in Dumbo (OMG...So good) and even a walk back into Manhattan via the Mahattan Bridge, to visit NYC's largest Chinatown neighborhood. Others areas explored with Deb were Little Italy and the very historic Lower East Side We even got to visit Katz's Deli, showcased in the Meg Ryan/Billy Crystal movie, "When Harry Met Sally". During our absolutely delightful 5 days with Deb, we also toured the High Line Park (another must see; packed with fascinating secrets WHEN you have the Guide, as we did!), the Greenwich and West Village neighborhoods, Soho and Tribeca. We enjoyed historic, photo tours of the fabulous Central Park, in Manhattan, and the equally beautiful Prospect Park, in Brooklyn. Gotta say that we especially LOVED our tour through NYC's boro of Brooklyn. Just fabulous! We had no idea that Brooklyn contained so much history, beautiful homes & neighborhoods and so many ethnic enclaves! The famous Coney Island Amusement Park is another "must see". A visit to neighboring Brighton Beach was a visit to "Little Odessa". Dyker Heights & Bay Ridge have many goregous and really expensive mansions, as do sections of Ditmas Park (where actress Michelle Williams recently puchased a HUGE Victorian mansion). A Happy Hour tour of the Loews Kings (Wonder) Theater was yet another highlight of our tour through Brooklyn. The restored theater is really ornate and is nothing short of magnificent! The locations visited and described above, really are just the tip of the iceberg, for Debbie even took us to Philadelphia, PA! Debbie will blow you away with the utterly fascinating history of her amazing city. Debbie is a very proud and passionate native New Yorker who seems to know EVERY nook and cranny of New York City! She's SO knowledgeable (I honestly don't know how she remembers so many facts and stories; I swear, she's a walking encyclopedia!). She is extremely approachable and has a bubbly, friendly, effervesant personality. A tour with Debbie is one where her vast knowledge, shared experiences, "insider" tips, visits down "roads less traveled" and her oft times hilarious and quick-witted sense of humor will leave you with a longing for more! This has been by far, the best 5 days I have ever done on a holiday. I have seen, done and have learned so much about NYC. Debbie went above and beyond and absolutely shattered my highest expectations! She made my entire 5 day experience exciting, fun, interesting and filled with daily enjoyment and laughter. I have done many, many tours all over the world but can honestly say I have never had a tour guide who so evidently LOVES what they do as much as Debbie appears to, and this clearly comes across. Not only would I recommend My NY Tours but I would HIGHLY recommend them (especially if you are fortunate to get Debbie as your Guide). If you are looking to visit NY and wish to enjoy the best experience EVER then you really need look no further than to MyNYTours. This review is quite long but as a world-wide traveller myself, I realize the importance of detailed reviews that aid travellers in making informed decisions on places to visit & tour providers to use when they get there. For both quality and value, My NY Tours can't be beat! I've included some pics taken during of incredibly special private tour with our Guide, Debbie. It was an emotional goodbye for us, leaving Debbie and New York City; we didn't want it to end! In conclusion, I would like to end this review by sending Debbie a massive and heartfelt thank you for absolutely everything that she did with us and showed us. We will NEVER forget our time in NYC,... you ticked every box on our wish list and are our Guide of choice anytime that we revisit NYC. A HUGE THANK YOU & HUGS X

Thanks for taking time to review your tour so extensively and thoroughly. We are so happy that you were able to join us. Customized tours such as yours, which span so many consecutive days right in the heart of NYC's cold and often snowy wintertime, can pose real challenges to tour providers and Guests, alike. Itineraries must sometimes be altered around weather conditions in an effort to provide higher levels of comfort and enjoyment of touring days, for our Guests. This is especially true when a vast portion of a Guest's 'wish list' covers a significant amount of outdoor venues and sights. We were thrilled that the weather cooperated so well, throughout your 5 days, with us. More importantly, we are so pleased to know how much you enjoyed each and every day of your travel experience. We would love to serve you again. Please don't hesitate to call upon us for future NYC sightseeing endeavors. We appreciate your patronage and we thank you again for your kind and heartfelt review our your 5-Day private tour.
