The description did not mention WALKING ! Neither did it mention the extra fares tbat had to be paid! We expectex to be on a small BUS or VAN!!!! My group of 10 were very disappointed but we took the tour because we did not want to lose money Jeff the tour guide was excellent duringthe entire tour!!!!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are certainly pleased you found our tour guide excellent. In terms of transportation, it sounds like you may have been more satisfied with one of the several private tours by vehicle we offer, as opposed to the tour by public transit you selected. Tours using private transport are more expensive than tours by public transit, but for some parties, tours by private transport are the better option, especially those tours with small children, frail elderly or mobility impaired individuals. Clearly a tour by public transport involves more walking than a driving tour. This is why on the website from which you ordered your subway / bus tour it states “Travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level.” I wish you would called us before placing your order, so we could ensure you were selecting the tour most appropriate for your group. Thank you, once again.

Our tour was absolutely wonderful!!!! Scott, our tour guide, met us at our arrival location and took us to each site by foot and subway which was absolutely great as it took away the intimidation of trying to navigate the city alone as semi-newcomers and was very knowledgeable and insightful about the history of everything we saw! He also took wonderful pics of our family, gave great recommendations for restaurant choices, made enough time in our schedule to see things that were not apart of our original tour plan and he even made sure that we got to our seperate boat tour in a timely manner to purchase our tickets before they sold out! Scott was wonderful and we were happy to have him host us! Highly recommend this tour for those that want to tailor it more to their specific interests!

Thanks for the 5 starts and recommendation! I am so glad you enjoyed your tour. Sorry for the delay responding. Fortunately, tourism has pretty much returned normal summer levels. See you, again, next time!
