I've had adequate bus tours of NYC and a total flop of a tour, but the USA Guided Tour at Night was fabulous! The transportation was on a small bus, more like a large van, really. It had room for 16-20 passengers and had very comfortable seats. The best part of the tour was the tour guide, Tim and the driver, Roy. Our group had people ranging in age from about 8 to 78. I was one of the older ones. I and my traveling companion had mobility issues, and Tim made accomodations for our needs. He helped us get on the bus and took us to elevators when we went to places that had stairs. He was very attentive to each passenger and their questions. He was knowledgeable about the history and "back stories" of all the places we visited. We all found him to be very entertaining, without trying to be a comedian. NYC is beautiful at night, especially during the Christmas holidays. Roy took us into Rockefeller Center to see the tree and lights. The streets were packed with cars and pedestrians, and Roy was so patient! He could have avoided some of these places, but he took us in spite of the crowds. We went to Chelsea Market in Chelsea and had about an hour on our own to eat and shop. I never would have gone here if I had not taken this tour. Also, we drove into Brooklyn over the bridge so that we could see the Manhattan lights across the water. What a wonderful surprise! The pictures that we got were fabulous, and I haven't talked to anyone else who got to do this on the night tours they took. I'm so grateful that this is the one I chose. If you go in the winter, dress warmly! You will be in a completely enclosed, warm, clean bus with comfortable seating. But you will get out of the bus occasionally so you want to have a hat, coat, and gloves. The experience is worth a little time spent outside! I would take this tour again, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in seeing and experiencing some places in NYC that the Big Bus tours don't even come close to. Our tour lasted for about 4 hours. Ask for Tim as your tour guide!
