Once In a Lifetime Tour - Wow - we can’t say enough good things about our driver Lee - he was just so great and beyond expectation in every way. He tailored the ride to what we wanted to see and even took us across the Brooklyn Bridge, which we were not expecting but were thrilled when it happened! Lee was a wealth of information about New York City and its history. He tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. It’s no exaggeration to say that this tour checked off several bucket list items for both myself and my wife. Many, many THANKS to Lee and the team at Nowadays Tours!!!!

Back in Time - Toured Manhattan in a fully restored 1920s Ford Model T. Omar was my guide and he was full of knowledge on NYC. The car looked so good and he was in character that it was definitely a show stopper. The amount of looks from people giving thumbs up and taking pictures of us was definitely an exciting experience. Tour was so good and at $45 was definitely a steal. I tried to book again to see Times Square at night, but all the slots had filled up quickly. I would definitely recommend this.

Awesome!!! - Tim was our guide for the afternoon. He was very knowledgable! One of the best things was how many people LOVED the car....asking to touch it & take pictures with it. Everywhere we went people were excited. It was a great way to see the city and to learn some of the little known details of the city. Tim even made recommendations for restaurants and other things to see. Well worth the money!

Brilliant! - We loved this so much we did one trip mid-town and one down-town.
Beautiful car, on time, saw all the main sites in the areas.
Our driver Tim was ex NYPD. He was knowledgeably and friendly - and we taught him some English expressions!

A unique experience - A unique way to tour downtown and lower Manhattan. Nice commentary. The vintage Hudson drew several gawkers en route.

Nice tour, company is not very organized - Mixed experience. The tour was actually really good and the tour guide was pretty good about answering questions. You t was fun to ride around in the classic car and have a private tour!
The “bad” was that the car was very, very late arriving! The company handled it pretty badly because they didn’t call me until it was time for the tour and we were already there waiting. First, it was a one hour delay, and then it became “any minute now.” All told, the car was almost 2h late. I understand that things happen but be honest with me. If it’s going to be 2h, then say 2h. Don’t string me along.

Car was cool but tour was 45 minutes late with no warning - The car itself was cool but the scheduling was very disorganized - there was a lot of confusion and going back and forth after we booked it, and then the driver was still sent to the wrong location, so he ended up being 45 minutes late. We didn't get any notice from the company, and we were standing outside the meeting spot in the cold that whole time. When we called after 15 minutes and then 25, all they said was that he was almost there. The driver was nice and offered us an extra hour to make up for it, but we had dinner reservations so we couldn't. We also noticed that he was on his phone a lot during the drive and at times driving quite recklessly.

Horrible experience - Absolutely appalling service. Not only did the driver fail to show up, but I wasted time and money getting to the meetup point. Despite multiple calls to find out where the driver was, the operator seemed incompetent, unapologetic, and downright rude, even hanging up on me. To top it off, I received no email about the cancellation, leaving me stranded in the cold. This level of mismanagement and disgusting behavior is utterly unacceptable. Avoid at all costs.

THEY DON’T SHOW UP - Our ride never showed up. We were told they were running about 10 minutes late. 30 minutes after scheduled start time we called and told them to forget it as we would now be late for our evening event.
