I recently went on the NYC tour May 10-13, 2018. I was really beyond impressed with this bus tour as well as tour guide; Julie. She was so organized and really thought of everything, right down to ear plugs for the bus ride in case you wanted to sleep during the movies she played. She had our itinerary well planned and organized. She made sure everyone was aware of the plans for the day including wake up calls at the hotel each morning. Julie could not stress enough what time you needed to be back at the bus for takeoff to the next part of schedule. There was a 5 minute window of when she wanted you back and when the bus was leaving which is fair. This schedule was strictly enforced and I was impressed by this. I have been on bus tours before and there was always at least one party in the group which were late and held people up. This did not happen on this tour as it was pointed out if you missed the bus, you were to find your way back on your own at your own expense. Everyone on the bus that weekend followed Julie’s lead and never held up our tour! The tour itself was fabulous. We packed a lot in during a short period of time. This was my 19 year old son’s and my first time in New York City and it was amazing! I did not feel like we missed out on anything. There were a lot of structured touring time (with a local guide) and we were given a fair amount of free time on our own to explore things in more detail. The list of activities included: Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (additional fee of $19.00 very reasonable), Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, World Trade Centre Site, 5th and 6th Avenue, Times Square. The list of things you can see or do just goes on and on. It would be hard to run out of things to do after numerous trips never mind it being our first one! I would highly recommend (and have already to anyone I have spoken to) this tour company and would not hesitate to take another tour with this fabulous group. Many thanks for the great memories, lots of laughs, and terrific info and sights!   Tammy T more
