A great tour with a terrific guide - We had a terrific tour of Manhattan with our excellent tour guide, Chris Lee. He was knowledgeable, funny, and kept us moving along without ever feeling like we were rushed. The tour itself hit all the key highpoints for a visitor, and there was plenty of time to take an extra look at points of interest with ample stops and comfort breaks.

Great tour! - Ray was our guide and he did a great job of leading us through all the sites and sharing not only the history, but he covered the architecture of the buildings as well. He did a great job of explaining how the 9/11 Memorial was designed and the significance of the various structures.

Go for it! Thank you RAY! - Through this tour we got a slight feeling of orientation for our following days in NXC. Our gide RAY was always superfriendly, cautious, patient and keept his herd together ;). He shared his enourmous knowledge with us and gave us tons of information, we wouldn´t had a chance to get otherwise. The coordination with the bus and ferry worked just on time and we highly recommend this tour! Thank you very much, RAY!
