My wife Veena and i took this combo tour of NYC top attractions on 03 October 2019. Our tour guide was Jennifer ( Jenn for short ). This was a very interesting combination of walking tour, bus roof top tour and ending up with a ferry ride around the Manhattan island. The walking part covered the Rockefeller Centre area and the most critical Financial district as well the new Freedom Tower. Post lunch was the ferry ride. it was drizzling when we were walking around the Rockefeller Centre, but by the time we boarded the bus for the city tour, it had started pouring. The guide and the bus captain were all ready with raincoats for our immediate protection. The highlight of the tour was the infectious enthusiasm, strong voice and and the detailed knowledge of Jenn about the history and culture of NYC. And this was delivered through blinding rain, unflinchingly, with all the facets earlier mentioned, fully in tact. This was dedication and professionalism at its best.

As first time visitors to NYC we chose this tour and were very happy with our decision. The time went by very fast as we walked, rode a private double decker bus and took a boat tour. We visited all the top sites, getting the vibe of the city, and deciding which places to return our own. Tour guide Jenn Andres with New York Tour 1 was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable, considerate of the groups needs, and had a nice sense of humor. Her voice was clear and projected well, something that is important in a big, busy city. Jenn gave us ample time to grab lunch in an area with multiple food choices. We highly recommend this tour, especially with guide Jenn Andres.
