My husband and I loved the tour. This is a great way to see the entire city at your own pace. I would definitely recommend getting the car the whole day. For those worried about safety, we had no issues. For the most part you can stay out of people's way and I loved the commentary with the GPS to learn about the city.
This was fun and the views of the city were wonderful. The employees at the midtown location were knowledgeable and helpful. However, my sister is 5'2 and was wildly uncomfortable as she had to sit with straight legs. You drive the vehicle like a motorcycle with hand gears. It was daunting getting out of the City. I helped by reading a map to find where we were. It would be difficult to have a child as your passenger. But forewarned is probably forearmed. It was a great great tour of the city.
