The tour was informative and Ian was able to chear up the whole group in this freezing weather. We've managed to see most of the attractions with introduction, which is good. While a suggestion that we'd better do a bit more intro on the buildings on 5th avenue, the guide has mentioned a lot names however we are keen to walk 1 or 2 blocks to go and see instead of just walking away to next stop. In terms of time management, I think we spent too much time on the ferry if we have to end the tour that early. Some of the churches, if possible, since they are not too big anyway and we are already outside, it worth giving a step in.

My husband and I toured NYC with our friends for a long weekend. We all had a long wish list of items we wanted to see, and our tour with Jenn Andres with New York Tour 1 was just what we needed! You experienced NYC by foot, by ferry, and by metro to truly get acquainted with the city (not just on a tour bus). She took us to all the major stops, explained the history of those stops in great detail, had tons of positive energy, and made it a great experience! If you want to cover a lot of ground in a short time - schedule a tour with Jenn!

Hands down thee best 1st visit to New York experience I think I could have had! I went with my girlfriend neither of us has been to New York City before. I couldn't have asked for a better day. This company and its tour guides know exactly what to do...exactly where to go....exactly how much time it takes to see as much as possible in one day in New York. Paid for the upgraded tickets...do it. I promise you you won't be upset. Jenn was our tour guide. She is thee best! I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. Our group was really lucky the weather in New York on December 28th, 2019 was perfect....mid to high 40's clear sunny skies. Jenn was amazing. I learned so much and had so much fun. She is engaging and interesting to listen to, very knowledgeable, and fun. Definitely a TRUE NEW YORKER! :) Bring your gym shoes! Jenn packs as much in as possible while still allowing for plenty of time for pictures, food, etc. I'm so happy I did my research. I am so happy I found this tour company. And lucked out getting Jenn as our guide. It. was. perfect. Definitely want to go back now lol see some of the other sites we didn't have time for up closer. 6 - 7 hours is perfect. Um...not sure what else to say. I promise you you will be happy with this company and their tour guides. Jenn if you read this hope things are going well. Hoping to one day hear you've made it to Broadway! :)
