Guide and driver were very good! Full of information about the areas of Manhattan that we visited. The bus was comfortable and they landed several stops where we could get out and explore some of the attractions. They ended the tour in a different area then where they picked us up from but the guide told us which subway line we needed to take to get back to our hotel. All in all a great time!

The guide was super knowledgeable. Such an informative and enjoyable day. Only downside was the early start and wait … we arrived at the advised time of 8.15 but security only opened at 9am and there was then a wait for the ferry.

Excellent city pass with very efficient and fast entry to main attractions and offering a good discount. Even the attractions where reservations were needed we could entry immediately after arrival.

Benji was a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the city!!!!

Always a great trip and sitting on top able to get a great view.
