Wonderful organization leading tour groups to often out of the way New York places. Guides are very knowledgeable and personable. Prices for individual tours are reasonable and often sell out quickly. Highly recommended.
Bryant was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic throughout the entire tour! Could not have asked for a better guide for our trip to NYC. Would highly recommend this tour - it was a great way to see and learn about the city. Thank you again Bryant and Guy!
I participated to the Central Park TV & Movie Sites Walking Tour and Laura was our inspirational guide. Learned fun facts about movies and TV series filmed in the park from her. I recommend this tour.
Martin, our tour was AMAZING the best experience. This was my first time in New York I was anxious and my husband flew me into Jersey i made reservations for the tour. Martin made sure we all stuck together and was very protective. He took care of his group! He went above and beyond to show and tell us all about new York’s historical background. We learned ALOT. He has a serious love for his city and you can tell he loves what he does. If you’re thinking of booking this tour, please DO IT! And request Martin for your tour guide. I promise you will not regret it.

The buses doesn't exist. I paid for a round trip ride and the buses there aren't anywhere. Not in Port Authority 8th Avenue 41st in Manhattan and not anywhere. Biggest scam in new York.

Lora provided an insightful and interesting tour through Central Park. Recommend for folks who want to take a meaningful walk through the park.

The company doesn't exist. I bought 2 tickets for Woodbury Commons and the buses doesn't exists. I called them they said that the bus will come for an exact spot but after 2 hours nothing. I went to Woodbury Commons with Usa Coaches and came back to Manhattan with an Uber.

Excellent value for money, and it was expertly organized, even with the security screening. Rihinnon was delightful and well prepared with the history of both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Despite the crowds she kept everyone together and on track. Thanks.

Grand Central Terminal is a unique and beautiful structure in the heart of NYC with an interesting history. The tour covers places of interest both inside and oitside of the buildings. A must to see. My guide is knowledgeable with a sense for detail, caring, smiling and easy to be around. The tour is highly recommended.
Bryant was the best tour guide ever. Amazing tour of NYC. Would totally recommend this smaller tour bus over a large tour bus with no tour guide just head phones. One word of warning ....if you tell Bryant one of your best jokes, Bryant will tell you his best ten jokes!!! And then a few more🤣🤣🤣
Luke was our tour guide for downtown in early July. Despite the sweltering heat, we toured through Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown and trinity church. Luke was so knowledgeable on all of our stops and obviously tailored his fun facts to what interested us. I went with my daughter who had just turned 18 and is really into music, history and art. Luke was great on hitting on all these facts as we toured the city. He recommended places for us to eat and told us how to use the public transportation system. Amber was super responsive as we were booking our tour and I would highly recommend this to anyone’s first trip or 100th trip to New York City. Great value for your money!
We enjoyed taking the Brooklyn tour with Fabrice. My wife was born in Brooklyn and had always wanted to go back. This tour was a great way to do that. Fabrice gave us a sense of the history of Brooklyn and we had a chance to visit various neighborhoods. Fabrice is interesting, funny and informative. We would recommend Real New York tours as a way to see the City.

We did the NY TV and movie tour. The tour was great! The tour guide was hilarious and provided lots of interesting information. We stopped at a few of the locations. Got some great pictures. In all this was a great experience that we would do again next time we come to New York.
This family run tour company is TOP notch. For any family or group interested in a private and customized tour of NYC, I would highly recommend this tour company. I received prompt responses to my initial inquiry and to all of my subsequent questions. We only had a day to pack in as much as we could, because we were primarily there for a wedding. Everything was tailored to our interests after a telephone conversation with Luke. He made recommendations based on our interests and his experiences as a native of New York. My adult children and I had a fantastic day with Luke as our guide. He knew all of the best views of landmarks, and he was very flexible in accommodating a few last minute changes. We left knowing we would return for a longer visit soon and that we would definitely use Real New York
Tours again.
I joined the tour last June with tour guide Luke, who was an absolute blast! The tour was not only interesting but also gave us fascinating behind-the-scenes information about our favorite superheroes. Luke's energy and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable; he was fun, engaging, and knowledgeable. If you love superheroes, this tour is a must-do in New York! 🗽🦸‍♂️
One of my favorite activities in the city. ❤️

Absolute disaster.
After buying online your bus ticket, you will get information about departure from Port Autorithy Terminal, where you get information that the company doesn’t exist anymore. But you can go outside to the streets and look for somebody ,,in red vests” to maybe find out something about the nonexisting bus - there are many of them in red vests, but no one knows about Citysights ny.
We have written to citysights ny support (e-mail) to get our money back and no one replied. It’s more then a week now and no response.
So I highly recommend not to buy anything.
Our family booked two separate tours, one of lower Manhattan and one of Midtown. Both tours exceeded our expectations and were money well spent. David met us on our first day in NYC and we started in Chinatown sampling exotic fruits and venturing into places we would have never done on our own. The amount of historical and cultural
knowledge David shared with us was truly impressive. He was able to answer every question we had. It was truly amazing! On our third day there, we met Luke and he took us all the way from Central Park through midtown and down to catch the ferry to the SoL at Battery Park. We stopped and saw so many amazing things and we truly enjoyed hearing his stories and information about many of the places we saw. My entire family agrees that our two Real New York tours were the most memorable parts of our vacation to NYC. We were able to take in things we would have never seen or done on our own. If you’re considering a tour, trust me and do it! We will hopefully be back one day and will definitely be doing another Real New York tour!
I think this is beautiful way to spend time with your family. They should lower the price of the reason that lots of people are going through changes and we all need a nice calm time without worrying about how much we have to spend.
We thought the tour guide Chris was funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and very nice. He made the tour better than it was. The bus was 10-15 minutes late at first picking us up. The bus was also much smaller than expected, no bathroom on the bus, and very little AC for the passengers because the vents were located more for the driver. Which made the ride more hot and sweaty, but chris made some jokes about it so he made it funny. Also, the tour guide has us watch the videos for the locations on a iPad because the TV wasn’t working. I felt bad for the people in the back not being able to see the iPad. Chris did allow us to go to Washington Park, where we were able to go to the bathroom and get something to eat. Some of the locations on the tour aren’t as admirable as we thought, others were better. Overall, I would try another tour by them, but I don’t know if I would recommend this exact tour to someone. I would recommend Chris 10X over though lol.
Our family of 6 booked a private tour of NYC and it was amazing! This was our third time booking with Real New York Tours and it would be first on my list of things to schedule again the next time we are in NYC. Luke was our tour guide this time and he is amazing! He is so friendly and welcoming. There is nothing like learning about the city through the eyes of someone who has gown up in the city. We were able to go over many different parts of the city and learn things that we would not have been able to do on our own. I agree with other reviewers...schedule this tour at the beginning of your trip so you can get recommendations of things to do and places to eat.

I can't recommend Real New York Tours enough...I've always been impressed with their tours and tour guides. You won't be disappointed!

We had a lovely experience doing the Central Park Movies & TV Shows tour with Laura! Laura was so friendly, helpful, and funny, and made the tour super exciting. She chatted with us whilst walking between spots and took a genuine interest in our lives and our time in NYC. Afterwards, she recommended a whole heap of restaurants and cafes for us to try, which have been great so far! We learnt a lot and left the tour feeling really happy and relaxed. Thanks Laura for such a great time!
Our waitress didn't bother ever coming back after coming to our table initially. As a party of 7, we were going to all order drinks but we couldn't even do that. We never even got refills on our water either. Dirty plates also collected on the table because they were not taken. I had to go and find someone to mention all this to in order to get service. Don't think we'll be doing this again.
Amazing tour with Benji. We couldn't of asked for a better tour guide. He knew a little bit about every movie and series and gave some good advice and tips about NYC itself. I would recommend this to anyone. We stopped at three different places to get out and walk around (and he pointed out bathrooms if we needed it). The walks were very short and easy and he made sure we knew we could wait on the bus if we wanted to. We were in a very large charter bus and paid the extra for the better seats. We got the very front seats so we found it worth while.
Nice views, 3 deck boat, drinks on board and some snacks and finger food..Overall a great experience
We had a great day 5/8/23 with Rob! He clearly loves his city and we learned so much. Rob gave us great tips and prepared us well to explore on our own with confidence. This was a highlight of our NYC trip.
Great way to see everything for a great price!
Great boat and great sites. Was hoping for a bit more trivia and facts about what we were seeing.
I have taken other tours of the park that have been meh - especially those gimmicky, touristy ones. So when I started planning this trip with our young daughter in mind, I initially just Googled "new york city walking tour for kids" (no scooters, bicycles, carriages, etc.). I of course scrolled down past all of those "sponsored" pages, and then landed on Real New York Tours. I am so glad I did! Luke was the best! He was enthusiastic and informative, and really made us feel like the tour was tailored just for us. Our third grader was engaged the entire time and had a blast interacting with him (this made it such a special memory for her). Absolutely the only way to tour Central Park - and the only one I would take again!
Thanks Rob & The team for a perfect tour experience in NYC. Highly recommended.
I don't typically write a review but this company deserve this. My private tour guide was amazing. We had an absolute blast touring the city. Made our group feel like home ! I recommend Small Bus Tours New York City to Everyone.
Wonderful tour! Frankie and Guy did a superb job in showing us the city, much better than any hop on hop off big bus could ever do. We got to sail past Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty and step on Staten Island as well as the famous Brooklyn Bridge. We spent time at the World Trade Center memorial and went to the firemen’s bar across the street where all visiting firemen go today and leave patches from where they came from in memory of those who died. We spent a little bit of time at grand central station and went to the edge (I wish we had seen more) of Central Park They picked us up at our hotel which was a bonus.
I would easily recommend this tour to any one new to NYC.

The tour was a great way to see parts of NYC that we would not have been able to see otherwise. The tour guide Chris was AMAZING and kept us engaged the whole time. He even went above and beyond and helped us navigate the subway after the tour. Class act!! Take the tour when you visit NYC - ask for Chris’ tour!!
Gardiner was an amazing tour guide. His efforts to make the tour fun and enjoyable were appreciated. He made sure we were comfortable, and we could tell he was passionate about his job and had attention to detail. He took the time to adjust the tour so we could visit some extra places we wanted to see and stayed a little longer than 4 p.m to get us where we needed to go. Absolutely exceptional!

Tour guide was knowledgeable, and the stops were very relevant to the Sopranos series. Definitely gained some information I didn't know before the tour. Because of our small group, we used a sprinter van that was cramped and made it difficult to see out of the windows. Also, in past tours I've done on the bus, video clips of scenes from the series were played before we got to a certain stop. We didn’t have that in the van. It's definitely still worth it, but would've been 5 stars with the bus.
Scott was fantastic! Such a stress-free way to tour New York in a day. We had a range of ages from 20-72 and it worked for all of us. We appreciated the history and the background and he swung by several stops we hadn't included in the plan and adapted it on the fly. It was a fabulous personalized way to see the city. Highly recommended.
Top notch tour - couldn’t fault these guys. Professional and informative. The entire tour was well organised and executed. Lots of humour and ticked all the boxes for us. They even incorporated plenty of (clean) bathroom stops! Would totally recommend for first timers to NYC. We loved it! Thank you Guy and Martin our guides.
Incredible. Tour guide Alex was amazingly funny and very knowledgeable.
Informative and amusing, a must-do for Superhero lovers.

Alex was a great tour guide, but I think he should play Miles Morales.
We got some great stories and pictures on this bike tour. Our guide had his own picture book and he brought it out to share pictures and stories as we made our way through the park. Great experience and a beautiful park.

Best day ever!!! We come to NYC every year with our two children (now 5&9) for the Thanksgiving Parade. I randomly searched for something different to fill a day for the kids and found this tour…what a treat! It is NOT commercialized like most city tours, it’s 100% personalized! Luke is a NY native and knows everything about this city! He took us everywhere in a little over 4 hours! It was over the top! He kept reminding us to let him take pictures with our camera/phone, we have so many wonderful memories! Can’t wait to do this again with them in Brooklyn or another burrow! The kids loved it!
The absolute BEST TOUR guide: Bryant. He was absolutely wonderful, engaging and kept the tour fun and exciting. (Cringy jokes and puns make the ride very enjoyable) He speaks Spanish as well for my Hispanic folks.
He is very knowledgeable about NYC and it’s many wonders. He always made you feel comfortable and welcome. The buses are roomy, comfy and offer ac. Each stop was about 15-20 min walk but you don’t get tired as you are enamored with every new site 😃 Bryant knows the best picture spots so you’ll get some awesome pics. I will not stop recommending this tour company, it was worth every penny! Tip: book it on your 1st or 2nd day, that way you can ask Bryant questions about the locations in case you want to visit them on your own later.

I was sold a City Sightseeing New York ticket at Battery Park in New York on July 7, 2022. I wanted to take a boat trip to the Statue of Liberty.

Screen I was sold a bus tour and a boat tour. But there was never talk of a bus tour. I complained relatively quickly to the local seller. That was also done. I did not take a boat tour or a bus tour and to date I have not received a refund. Communication with City Sightseeing New York was extremely difficult and very incompetent. I have done a City Sightseeing bus tour in every major city so far and will never do it again.

thanks for nothing
I've done a ton of these webinars both for fun and for book research, and I can't recommend them enough. If you're interested in learning about cultural history and enjoy a tour/lecture setting, NY Adventure Club is for you!
Fun * Personalized * Knowledgeable * Safe and Worth every penny! I wanted the best tour for my friends' first NYC visit. Bryant, Gus, Catherine and Black Beauty exceeded expectations. Bryant knows his history and delivers 👏 with charm and puns. This tour felt private, our group plus another family from Chicago. 8 people total in tour including teens and adults. Bryant was able to keep us all engaged.
Very informative.
Fun guide.
Really good experience for comic n film buffs.
We haven't done any of their in-person tours but have seen a lot of their virtual ones. They have almost all been very interesting and extremely well done. Most are about history or art and most are done by professional tour guides. The majority are about the New York area, but a number have also been about London or other places.
It's also convenient that if you don't watch a tour live you have another week to stream it whenever you want. Each one costs only $10 and they are well worth the time and cost.
Awesome food, great prices, enjoyable atmosphere, awesome friendly staff.
Monday 01/03/22 we had a tour scheduled with Family in New York Tours. Billy was our tour guide and he was awesome. This is totally a legit company and the best tour company in NYC.If you’re anything like me you read reviews on EVERYTHING literally; and I’m telling you look no further. Billy is so informative and down to earth. We went everywhere on the list of places and he even took me places not listed. If you’re a die hard John Wick fan like me you know going to the Continental was unexplainable (hella bomb). May God continue to bless you Billy with kindness, sense of humor and your ability to show everyone the beautiful NYC. Billy you’re a jewel!!

Sincerely the Smiths

My wife purchased on Groupon for use the next day. We waited nearly 40 minutes and then on hold for 20 minutes with CitySights to determine what was going on. Turns out, the buses aren’t running today. They refused to even discuss a refund and the lack of buses today was nowhere in evidence when we purchased the tickets.

Extremely disappointed and would advise others to steer clear.

As an update, Groupon agreed to refund the charge, but leaving the review as CitySights did not.
Tour guide Luke gets 5 starts. Interesting even if you're not into superheros. The cancellation is NOT 48 hours, however, its 2 calendar days. This is not clear and the organization is not responsive to this. They get 2 stars.
Bike Tours Central Park was awesome! We only had a few hours in the city and chose to do a bike tour to learn about the park rather than just wander through. Because our time was limited, Tony managed to move it along without us feeling rushed. It was worth the VIP experience and I will recommend it to anyone wanting to learn some of the history and pop culture about the park while visiting.

I went on a super cool guided hike in upstate NY. The guide and NY adventure club volunteer were fantastic, the tour super well prepared. I had an awesome day and would highly recommend the Old Croton Aqueduct and Dam Hiking Tour
We had another incredible experience with Family in New York this past week. Scott was fantastic to work with and Tammi was an INCREDIBLE host and guide. We did a full day walking tour of NYC and Tammi was absolutely perfect. Knowledgeable, funny, professional. Just a great experience. Can’t recommend this company enough!

Today I booked a group tour with high quality tours. It was a very fun and relaxing day. We were shown many different famous places and important landmarks in the city in just a few hours. We rode a luxurious tour bus, walked around the city with our guide, and then took a boat to see the NYC skyline and Statue of Liberty. The sights were spectacular and I highly recommend this for anyone with a family, kids, or a partner to go with!

Though we can’t currently travel, I’m glad to see New York Adventure Club offer their interesting and unique “tours” online via webinars! They’re affordable and a great way to learn about the history, culture and behind-the-scenes knowledge of the city. I also enjoyed connecting with the other attendees in the side chat and that we could ask questions to the guide and group moderator who made it easy to understand everything.

They have a rich variety of offerings so definitely sign up for the newsletter to keep up to date :) Looking forward to joining an in-person one when it’s possible!
Being a newcomer to NYC, I learned a lot of city history, behind-the-scenes knowledge, and locations of hidden spots attending the New York Adventure Club tours. They're inexpensive and I like they give you an experience you usually can't get otherwise. When I get together with people who've been here longer, they're frequently impressed by how fast I'm learning about the city.
The NY Adventure Club always has interesting and unique events on their calendar. The owner, Corey, is incredible at finding off the beaten path places and arranging tours or getting access to otherwise off limits places. Even the tours to public places include special access. The tours are always well run and organized. The events are perfect to attend solo or with friends. I have never been disappointed and have often been really impressed. I highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.
New York Adventure Club offers some of the most unique off the beaten path tours in New York City.

From exploring abandoned places in NYC, to local food tours not found anywhere else, they really have it all.

Experienced staff, constant new event options, they never fail to disappoint.

Jump on an event, make new friends and explore NYC - I'm sure you won't regret it!
Great tour. A bit pricey but worth it. The guide Chris was knowledgeable and entertaining.
1) Sales people lie to sell tickets
2) They will make you walk for so long.
3) only one ticket counter. You have to wait for so long.
4) you cannot get down in statue of liberty. But they lie about that. Why do they care.. they already sold it to you.
5) they will criticize you. Humiliate you after they sold the ticket.
6) they don't understand that old people are going to walk a lot reckless sales people. They have to be stopped selling tickets in front of the statue cruises.

Jacob was our tour guide for the Statue of Liberty Early Access tour!! He was AMAZING!! His degree of humor mixed with knowledge REALLY enhanced our tour experience. He explained things I never learned in history class in a way a history teacher could never make me take interest in. I really hope you are lucky enough to get him!!

A trip to NYC is always a good adventure. This trip we hopped on the Gray Line bus and took the uptown route. Our guide Ron was knowledgeable and entertaining. He was everything you think a New Yorker should be: accent, humor and fast talk.
You need to be on Ron's bus.

Best money we spent in NYC. Love the hop on hop off tours. Second time we've visited here and second time we've purchased the CitySights tour package. Each tour guide was knowledgeable and fun! We would not have viewed and learned about the sights and history of this great city without this tour. The package price with attractions included are a huge value and allowed us to see so much more than if we had purchased individual entry tickets. So much to see and do and the guides were helpful ambassadors all the way. Fantastic!

I recently was apart of a tour on July 15 and I have to say out of all my years living in New York, this tour really showed me all of the main city spots and attractions that we have that I haven't really seen or experienced and a few secret city spots that I haven't seen or heard of. The tour guide was amazing! She really helped me learn new things about this city that I've never knew. The best part for of the trip in my opinion was the 9/11 Observatory and the Boat Ride. I highly recommend booking High Quality Tours if you need a tour around New York City.

We were specifically told by the customer service person online, that the boat tour which was in the package, would include going under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Unfortunately it was not the case. No explanation whatsoever. The weather was excellent so definitely it was not the cause.
Regarding bus tours: make sure you do the night tour. It's spectacular.

Our guide of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was Jacob - he was knowledgeable, charming and enthusiastic ... Couldn't have wanted more. We continued to the 9/11 tour with Rob ... Very moving and informative ... Well done Walks of New York. Thank you.

Incredible tours! We went to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island! Very knowledgeable tour guide! Made our tour not only informative but fun! He was very polite and funny. I highly recommend using this company and asking for Jacob! You will not regret it. Also i do recommend catching a morning tour if you dont like big crowds. We had ours in the morning and it was calm and amazing! Again ask for Jacob!

My husband had never been to NYC and I had lived here 30 years ago. We took the tour of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and 9/11 Memorial and Observatory. "ROB" was our tour guide for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. He really knows his stuff, very knowledgeable and funny. We had a great morning with him. This tour is not for anyone out of shape.
In the afternoon we were met by "AMANDA" for the 9/11 Memorial portion, she was very insightful, knowledgeable and the more personal stories she shared brought tears to our eyes. She really did an excellent job bridging the history of the WTC and showing the forward movement Post 9/11. She was wonderfully amusing as well. I would definitely recommend these two INCREDIBLY, TALENTED, AWESOME individuals to anyone who would like an even better understanding of these landmarks. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

Hi- We did the city and harbour cruise recently .Although it was UN week and D.Trump was in town ( making the roads an absolute Grid lock ) our tour guide Rachel and the driver navigated the tour brilliantly. We saw most of the NYork highlights and Rachel was full of interesting facts. The harbour cruise and the tour guide was also great ! We had a day full of fun and saw loads - Thank you
Tony was an outstanding guide for our private tour. Very knowledgeable and pleasant, we explored areas of Central Park we never knew existed. Highly recommended - you meet him on the corner; he will call you.

We visited in late June 2017. So glad we booked the tour. Rob was a fantastic tour guide for the 9/11 memorial tour. He was very knowledgeable and engaging, a great speaker. We also took the Statue of Liberty Tour with Dan, who was equally entertaining and knowledgeable. We had three teens who were entertained and enjoyed the tour as well. Would definitely recommend Walks of New York.

This was one of the best tours by bus I have ever had. The NYC tour guide was very informative, showing us little places of infamous history, not just the usual tourist spots. He was apparently very experienced in his job. The bus was super comfortable and clean. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I know for sure that I did. It was a great value for the money too.
We booked one of the private luxury tours of New York City from High Quality Tours. It had to be one of the best NYC tours available. It was done on both a luxury bus and also a yacht. There is nothing like seeing NYC from the water. Bridges and other sites can be appreciated so much more from the water. We had a very nice relaxing time and our guides were awesome. We will be sure to recommend this Manhattan sightseeing tour.
Highly recommend them. Fabulous way to spend our first full day in NYC.
I was always leery of NYC tours by bus. They always looked kind of tacky to me. My husband wanted to try one so we took the New York guided sightseeing tour by luxury coach from High Quality tours. I must say that we really enjoyed it. Our tour guide really knew the history. You could tell he had been giving Manhattan tours for a long time. High Quality Tours changed my whole impression New York City sightseeing tours.
We took a 6 hour car tour of NYC with Scott last Saturday and had a wonderful day out seeing everything we wanted to see and more!! Scott is so knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. He was flexible to meet our needs for breaks or how long we wanted to stop and take photos. Excellent way to see NYC and great value too!
Tour guide J was awesome! We had a nice small group he used an umbrella to mark himself to keep the group together and he was very knowledgeable about NYC. He took pictures for us and kept us entertained!! The bus was very very nice! Provided water which was outstanding really being how much water is in nyc!! We are at a great place and the yacht was nice. J went out of his way to drop us off near our final destination. Great experience!! Definitely recommend it!!

The tours of the Liberty & Ellis Islands as well as the guided 9/11 memorial tour were both informative and moving; our tour guide Jeffery was also extremely friendly and helped make the experience memorable and enjoyable! All of the information provided helped enhance our experience, and a great deal of local and historical knowledge was given. I would definitely reccomend Walks of New York to tourists seeking an exciting tour of some of the city's most inspiring and iconic attractions, led by a tour guide who is clearly passionate about all the city has to offer.
Very informative and enlightening! Definitely a must if you've never been to Central Park. Tony was a great tour guide who knew a lot about the history of not just the park but the whole city.

Did Bike Tour on 8/6 - was late to 10am scheduled reservation (traffic) - called and Tony said we could do at 2pm that day - it was GREAT !! - Tony was very nice & really knew his history and info about the Park!! - it was really fun and well worth it!! Thanks Tony! - 👍🏻
It was a great tour!! There were a lot of stops so it wasn't too tiring (& I'm 11). Tony was awesome!!! He knew what he was talking about and he was funny and made the tour interesting. He also let you walk around and look at all the landmarks! Be sure you ask for him!!! If you bring water, they'll give you a basket.
I thought it was great. Kids loved it and I found it to be a good value.
Tony was a wonderful guide. Very interesting tour of central park. Very accommodating on what we wanted. Excellent information on the movies filmed here and the celebrities that live in the area.
I had my experience tour in early march for a day - my friend Mary G told me about these guys . I was keen on a tour of Manhattan that would do pick ups from Newark, i was first time here in New York and was travelling by myself. yah this was by great decision ! i enjoyed much in this tour - visited many things, and heard loads of stories about New York. Was very informative - the guide called, Robert , was very informative and had a great sense of humor as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get their bearings at the beginning of a stay in this amazing city, or if you only have a very short stay as I did and want to get maximum highlights ! Thanks for a great day HQ tours !

I had a bike tour a couple of weeks ago during my birthday trip to NYC. Tony was the guide. He was great!!! The tour was perfect. Just enough stops that you get to see things and take pictures and then the ride is very informative. Tony gave all sorts of info. about spots in regards to movies, it was all very interesting. I would highly recommend this to a first time Central Park visitor!
