We had our own guide and driver. This meant no waiting around for transport as the car was always ready to pick us up. Our group varied from 13 years old to 80 and our guide, Katie who was super awesome!, paced the day brilliantly. We covered a lot of the main tourist sites and I would recommend this tour as a taster of what New York has on offer. Talking of tasters, we stopped for brisket for lunch and then Cannoli in Little Italy on Katies recommendation, which were delicious and fun. Our guide had excellent knowledge and gave us all a great tour. FYI - if you are a confident driver and think you can self drive a tour around central New York - you can't! Take the tour.
Our Tour Guide was fantastic. He knew more than NY natives who have lived and worked in the City all their lives. We learned so much - really got more than we paid for. Ask for Ramon, the 6ft tall Guatemalan! Speaks 4 languages and is a student of anthropology and archaeology and World History. You can ask him anything and he is also a foodie so get restaurant recs from him too!
