The title should tell you everything. We chose this tour to start our 4 day trip to New York as it appeared to offer the ideal mix of old, new and of course Iconic. On all accounts it delivered and more. James our guide was knowledgable and friendly, keeping an even pace through out the tour and all the time providing us with facts and figures about the areas we were visiting.
At the end of the tour we were given priority tickets for the pedestal tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and as such we were able to skip the queues and board the ferry almost immediately, which given the number of people and the heat was probably worth the tour cost on its own.
If you are unsure who to use to which tour to go on I really recommend this company, this tour and James (though of course he may not be your guide).
