So first the bus was late, then the tour guide finally showed up and we finally got started. Oh and shortly after, we got clipped by another bus trying to pass us near Columbus Circle.
So you'd think this is going to be a bad review. Not at all.
Our tour guide, Stephanie, had such a spirit and energy about her that it overcame all that. I love movies and to have the clips playing as we drove around was genius. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the background information and seeing the actual sites where some of the scenes had taken place. I mentioned to Stephanie that my wife and I had watched "Serendipity" on the plane, so seeing that place and hearing some of the stories was really cool.
Stopping to view some of the Christmas windows was a treat and I'm really glad that was part of the trip as well. I am not sure we would have been able to see those on our visit if not for this tour. Riding down Fifth Avenue - amazing.
All in all, this was a nice way to spend our first night in NYC and I thank Stephanie for making it so enjoyable.
