Parker was great & funny. Told us about restaurants to try etc. Liked the stops,even though short. If you blinked though sometimes you could miss things. Also wished we could stop at he Library. I found it a bit pricey for what it was.

Parker was a brilliant guide, very cool, very funny and very knowledgeable. We particularly loved the “off script” tips for New York in general. This is a great tour to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time without killing your legs. It’s also great for highlighting places you may wish to revisit to get a closer look. Fab way to see the city for movie fans or even for someone who wants something a little different to the standard tours and you get all that plus a bit more!

2nd time doing this tour. This time was with our teenage son so no better gauge than that. Your is great for getting a lay of the land if 1st time in Manhattan and also good for seeing some spots that you’ll know from your favourite TV and Movies. The tour is hop off at certain stops to take pics and walk around, also if you happen to be closer to that area you can just finish the tour there if it works for you. We did the full tour and Tannar was brilliant, had to ad-lib a fair bit as the traffic delays meant the normal info wasn’t enough. Tannar did great and handled it like a seasoned pro. Highly recommend this , especially if your 1st visit.
