I have had the pleasure of taking this sightseeing tour twice in the last 5 years originally with my tour guide ‘J’ and most recently with Rachel (whom I discovered was in fact his wife!) and I simply cannot recommend it enough. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and above all so much fun. This tour is a wonderful way to squeeze so many amazing sights into a relatively short amount of time and is a must if you only have a small amount of time to spare in the city.

My tour guides added so much value to this experience and Rachel even took the trouble to put together a fantastic hand out jammed full of recommendations in respect of how to get the most of your time in New York be it in terms of entertainment, sightseeing, dining or shopping!

NB There is no better accessory than tour guide Rachel to make sure you get the absolute best photos opportunities on this tour. With so many tourists vying for the best place to take a prized photo, Rachel will provide you with some invaluable assistance in getting the absolute best shot.

Great experience and one of the best tour guides we've ever had. I highly recommend this tour. We loved visiting John Lennon's home and Strawberry Field.

Donna S

My friend who had not been to NYC in 31 years and I wanted to be driven around the city to see all we could in one day. Our guide Tyler gave us all the background behind the sights we saw and was very entertaining herself. The bus tour started at 10 am and ended at 4:30. We felt like we saw it all!!! The boat ride on the East and Hudson Rivers was great too. It was a great introduction to the City!!

This tour was a great way to get some history and orientation to the layout of NYC. I wish we had done this tour on the first day but it got us into many spots that we didn't plan on or own. The tour guide, Dana, was informative and respectful to the passengers as well as other nearby visitors when we stopped. The group was small enough that everyone could hear her and get around these sites fairly easy. She also helped take our photos. Also, the driver Bobo was efficient and safe. He was always right on time. Would do this again in a heartbeat if I could have Dana and Bobo!

Rachael was our tour guide. Before we ever boarded the bus she went down the line and personally introduced herself and learned something about every passenger on her bus. And, she remembered it all, She showed a passion for sharing NYC information and made the tour fun and exciting. Miguel was an excellent driver and made sure we were in safe spots to hop off and board again. Another GREAT experience with GrayLine.

Marian P

Our guide (sorry I have forgotten his name) was top notch. I have been to NY many times but our guide told us info that I never knew before.....very informative! To assist with finding the name of our guide....we booked this tour for 12/12/19 at 11:00 time frame. Also, our driver was a very safe driver...did a fantastic job.

Heike P

I recommend the tour if you want to see a lot on a short amount of time. The check in was a bit unorganized.
