We had a really good time. Our driver was Santana Sonca (I hope I got the last name right), she was great! Gave us a lot of extra information that was not included in the audio tours

The tour was great, but what really made the experience was our bus driver, Sonia Santana. She was amazing—funny, knowledgeable of NYC, and caring.

All of the staff was wonderful and helpful, especially Wanda. I walked up not knowing what to expect and she gave me a rundown (in the pouring rain) letting me know what to do! My family and I had a great time. Highly recommend.

The information given during the ride was excellent. Got to see a lot of magnificent buildings and places we couldn’t have been able to see otherwise.

Dawn_M, May 2023 Verified

Our driver was a lot of fun! He engaged with us and came to the top of the bus to point out things for us!

Visual representation of Manhattan is great!! You feel the pulse of the city. I would prefer to have different music between guide's talk.

Robin_K, May 2023 Verified

I really enjoyed the Empire State Building and the 9/11 memorial and museum. Loved I didn’t have to worry about a ride to hear and there and the headphones gave a lot of info for the sites and area!!
