Absolutely amazing tour 5 hour!!! Take it, you will not regret it. It was very laid back, relaxed, packed with a lot of information in air-conditioned van, free cold water, MTA Card to Grand Central Terminal and a lot places to see. We had our reservations for Sunday morning and forecast was 94 F. We were so happy to be inside a comfy Van. We had 8 people on the tour and Fred (our tour guide) asked everybody if there any specific place we would like to visit. I'm a former New Yorker and I took my wife for her first trip to Big Apple. I thought nothing can surprise me....I was wrong. Fred showed time and time again that there is more to learn about THE City. We where so glad we went on the trip with "NY See Tours". Thank you Fred and his crew for an amazing time. We will be back from more. Sergei/Irina

In town for just a few days with my 12-year old daughter, we were looking for a tour that would give us the highlights of NY City. We were not disappointed- Fred, our tour guide was outstanding. We were able to see the highlights of NY City, all the way from Central Park, 5th Avenue to Ground Zero. Fred provided us with background and facts that made the tour very interesting. Combine that with a comfortable air-conditioned van and cold water, we had a great time. We stopped off for some excellent NY pizza in Soho for lunch. Take this tour- you will not be disappointed!

This was an incredible tour! I can't stop telling people how great it was - every review I read was right on. Thank you, Fred, for giving my friend and I a wonderful tour of the city. We covered the whole city in about 6 hours - minus the tourist traps (Little Italy, etc.). Fred took us to a great pizza place in the Village, to Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, along Museum mile, Highline Park, WTC.... the list goes on. Fred has such great knowledge of the city's history. And don't forget your camera - Fred had no problem letting us snap pictures everywhere.
This tour was worth every penney (and then some!) - definitely take this tour whether it's your first time to the city or not.
