This tour gave us an opportunity to see the main highlights in NYC! It was a great way to travel the city with 2 kids too. You can’t beat a tour of NYC in a bus with AC and minimal walking. Our tour guide Kevin was incredible. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this opportunity!

This was a great tour and the tour guide, Kevin, was funny, knowledgeable and very accomodating to the needs of the people on the tour. We got to see so much of NYC without having to walk and found out so many interesting facts about NYC. We went through the entire city which we never would have been able to do on foot with our kids. We all enjoyed the tour and highly recommend this tour.
