One of the highlights of our visit to New York - Jim Quinn (guide) and Mark (driver) were fantastic. Jim provided tons of interesting facts about various landmarks along the route and pulled upon his experiences to give a personal perspective on NYC. Plus, he has a great sense of humour. Mark, our driver, was highly skilled, navigating those tight spots of urban traffic. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our recent visit to New York.

Interesting and Informative - We enjoyed this bus tour very much. Jim Quinn filled it with interesting facts and information as well as personal insights. Mark was a driver par excellence. He manoeuvred a large bus full of tourists around crazy city streets all day without breaking a sweat.
