So happy we booked this tour! We only had 3 days in NYC and this tour covered so many of the major sites/tourist attractions. Our tour guide Robert (a local New Yorker) was very informative and friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour as a way to begin your holiday!
Excellent tourWe did the NY 6 hr all day tour and saw just about everything . Very informative and professional.
Rachel our tour guide and Arlis the driver were the very best! Rachel tells many fun facts and shares information about almost everything we pass on the 6 hour tour. Organized and friendly. Stops for a closer look and photo ops of best known landmarks. The Staten Island Ferry was great.
We had an amazing time with the tour. Our guide Martin Kelley was so much fun, he was not only informative about the city and history, but took the time to make personal connections with everyone. Well worth the money and time. Will recommend the tour with Martin to everyone. We will definitely be scheduling an evening tour with Martin very soon.
Jim our tour guy was awesome. If you get him as your tour guy. He will do an awesome job. He is very knowledgeable about the city. We did the tour on Sunday 6/18/21. On Sunday there wasnt any traffic. So Jim had the driver show us where all the movie stars live. That was cool. I give Jim and the driver 5 stars. We would do the tour again.
Wonderful and very informative tour guides and chauffeurs/drivers I will definitely make a return visit.
Great tour! We took the 6 hour day tour and covered so much ground which included a ride on the staten ferry and a stop for lunch! Gill (our tour guide) was excellent and very knowledgeable. Would recommend if its your first time and in NY for just a few days.
Definitely the best way to see NYC! I don’t believe we missed a thing. I loved that each stop included a short walking tour WITH our guide. Riding the ferry and seeing the Statue of Liberty was just the “icing on the cake!” I would recommend taking this tour and look forward to taking the NYC at Night Tour next time we visit! Good value and great tour!!
Best tour I have ever been on. The tour guide Deb was great. 6 hours of non stop information. She took any and all questions. We have been on other city tours around the country, and she made it the best. We hit alot of different sites around the city. If you go ask who is the tour guide.
Fantastic! This was the best tour I have ever been on. Gil, the tour guide was AMAZING! His memory and knowledge of NY is top notch. Juan, the driver, was right on and did a great job moving us from place to place. We saw all of the major and minor tourist sites of NY as well as unknown places. If you want the best tour, book this one and ask for Gil and Juan!
Great tour of the city with lots of stops. We had a bus with a glass roof so we could see everything. The trip included a trip on the Staten Island ferry. Jim was a great guide, and Betty did a great job driving!
We were unfortunately extremely disappointed. Our tour guide Jim was very hard to understand and his tour was very unstructured in our opinion and only random facts came without real explanations. He wore his mask only over his mouth. Most of the time he showed us private photos of his family and house on the bus and also only addressed certain people.On top of that, he was rude to us and he made fun of a couple on the bus that our group had lost (due to the fact that he was really very hard to understand). The couple had to wait in the cold for the next bus.The bus was comfortable, the bus driver Antony good and friendly.
Fun tour with our guide, Buster! Lots of sites visited in 1 day!
Knowledgeable guide. Was not expecting the commentary for the entire trip. It was nice. I did not like the hand out at the end for a tip. Dont make a speech about how its a part of your salary and guilt people into it. Thats why 4 stars.
Beautiful experience with our tour guide Tyler she doesnt miss a beat!!
We did the night tour with our family and Rachel was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very detailed which kept us all interested. Thanks Rachel for a great experience!
Great time you see a lot for 6 hrsThank you Gil for all the information
Gil and the driver were incredible , so knowledgeable and tour was the best experience I’ve had !!!!
This was an awful experience. The bus was old and noisy. Our guide, Jim, mumbled and was difficult to understand and refused to use the microphone on the bus so we could hear him. And when my wife, at a break, politely asked him to speak up, be got belligerent and started cursing at her and told her he knew how to do his job and she didn’t. (In fact, when she was younger, she was a tour guide.) We left the tour at the first stop and got a refund.
We enjoyed our day tour of Manhattan! The tour guide was great! I appreciated all of the inside tips of how to get around the big apple! The stops were terrific! I especially enjoyed the 9/11 memorial and Central Park.
My mom and I took this tour and I recommend that if you are looking to see the sights in NYC, you do the same!! We were guided by Tyler who was incredibly sweet and knew EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING and driven by Jose who somehow navigated the city without aggressively using the breaks or honking. The harbor tour at the end took us for about an hour and we go really close to the Statue of Liberty! This was the best and so happy I did it.
Worst Guided tour. Please do not trust them. We were really upset due to cant see anything. We didnt have enough time for sight seeing that why we bought that expensive tour so that we can at least see the tourist Places. But all in vein. I can earn the money, cant get back the Time & hope.The Guide was such a joke. the first place we stopped at central park for few minute, did not even know that was central park, after that we wait long time for Bus. We saw Statue of Liberty from very far from a free ferry. The Lunch break was in ferry terminal where there is no restaurant at all. All tourist was frustrated, some of them even did not get back to the Bus in one point. though they told the tour will be 6 hours, truly it was less than 3 hour. rest of the time was waiting time( lunch break, wait for ferry in Staten Island. waiting for bus at central Park etc)I am sorry to say that but trust me, THAT TOUR WAS TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.Trust me Or Be prepare to write an expensive review after the tour.
This was excellent and the tour on the fairy to see the statue 🗽 was Amazing.
We finished this tour today, and it was awesome! Our tour guide was named Gil. He really new his stuff. There was so much to see, and Gil had so much information about the citys points of interest. The tour was a nice mix of riding in the bus, hearing about the places we were driving by, and on-foot excursions. Also included was a ferry ride past the Statue of Liberty. Gil also provided many good tourist tips, and recommendations on local cuisine. The tour lasted about 6 hours, including a stop for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and would highly recommend it.
The tour used the FREE government ferry service NEWYORK AND STETEN ISLAND to show the statue of liberty. Made elderly tourists to sprint across to catch the return ferry. Shocking after collecting money for viewing the lady of liberty. Not happy at all
Great experience. Excellent service. Tour guide Gerry is knowledgeable and entertaining . Highly recommended.
We had a great day with Gil! He was knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. Seeing all the major attractions with Gil in an air-conditioned bus was a great way to experience Manhattan, its rich history, its stunning architecture, and its diverse culture. We visited a lot of sites and learned a lot about the city in just 6 hours. Even my two teens enjoyed it!
If you want a crash course of new your city in 6 hours or less, its perfect. It goes to all the important places and you can always explore more on your own. Our tour guide lady was awesome. So knowledgeable about the history of the city and very pleasant. Air-conditioned bus was the best to ride in in a 90+ humid day.
The one day bus tour and the staff is amazing. The places where they took us was amazing, some of the main things you need to know in NY. Tyler sour guide was amazing she knows everything about NY, streets, avenues, restaurants, highlands. Highly recommend it!!
Had a good time with family. Thanks to Tour guide Martin Kelly for very fun and informative(historical and local) tour in New York and driver Ross for driving us around safely and escaping the busy routes.
Rachel and Manny are great! Rachel is informative and entertaining! Manny got us around NYC quickly and safely! HIGHLY recommended!
This was an awesome tour. Jerry our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and keep the tour moving. He was not scripted, he has done research and knows a lot of history about the city. The tour itself covered a great array of attractions. Highly recommend.
Gil and driver Carlos were great. Definitely exceeded my expectations
Brendan was a great guide, lots of knowledge, always looking out for the group, and anticipated every possible snag that could slow us down. Anyone can keep up with this guy, and he took tons of pictures of us. Raymond, the driver, was an absolute ninja. It was over 90 degrees during our tour and he kept us cool and moving right along. They were a great duo, and we would do the same tour again! Thanks, guys!
Excellent tour today. Our guide Brandon and driver Jose did a great job of showing us NYC!! So much information. I highly recommend this tour especially if you don’t have a lot of time. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much.
Rachel was brilliantly funny :) knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her passion of guiding tourists with tips, tricks and history of NY :)
Guided tour very informative. Guide was very knowledgeable. Got to see alot for a little money would definitely rcommend us guided tour
Excellent “sampler” of NYC. The bus was vary comfortable, the tour guide was really nice, and we got to see all the remarkable points of Manhattan compressed in 6 hours. Recommend it.
Excellent tour! Gil was a brilliant guide and extremely knowledgeable. This tour is a must do if your sightseeing in New York.
Best value for money guide to New York there is and our guide was superb, made the day fly by and gave so much information.
Steve was great. The tour ran smoothly. No issues
Rachel was an exceptional guide. Where to even begin...her energy and love for the city was very apparent. She was extremely informative with interesting history and fun facts about the city. She was spot on with all her tips on how to get the best photos, the best seats, best views, and how to be a New Yorker for the day. And she kept us fully busy and entertained for 6 hrs. Would highly recommend. The tour is also great to see the maximum amount of sites compressed into one day without care for age or physical limitations.
Gil and the driver were outstanding. I highly recommend this tour before you go sightseeing in NYC.You will have a whole new perspective of the City..Thank you Gil. Looking forward to my next tour.
I just got off the bus today and did the five hour tour guide with Buster freeze the tour guy in Manny the driver, it was a great tour , I really enjoyed it , Buster was familiar with all the historical places and knew history and had great stories plus a sense of humor and manny did amazing job driving through traffic, The first bathroom break is at Rockefeller Center , then the next bathroom break is that Staten Island ferry where they have a bathroom and food, there you get on the boat he come right back then you have lunch then you drive a little bit and then you go to 9/11 were you can take another bathroom break, I highly recommend it for a day trip for the day to see New York!
Betty, our driver and Dana our guide provided me and my friends with the best ever tour. Dana was not only knowledgeable and formidable, but entertaining. She was cautious, yet dedicated to taking care of our group. The ferry tour was also very good and quite enjoyable. Guy guide with dread locks was hot. Wished I were 20 years younger. Lol. Joking aside this is the best tour guide to take. A definite 10 in our book. Thank you for such a fun day. S Baker, Kansas City, Mo.
Perfect for the sisters! We had a lot of fun with Manhattan Jim and Roy was driver!
This is the way to see NY. The tour was a hop on, hop off 6 hour tour. Jim from the Bronx was awesome. He was a walking encyclopedia of NYC and made the tour absolutely perfect.
Our tour guide was really great will definitely use them again
Very disappointing! Everything since we start the tour was in a hurry, it’s NY and we all now about the traffic so maybe they should know better in my opinion! They say you will have 20 min in every stop to take a look and take pics but it was only 5min because of traffic, they charge for being in the bus the all time, when you can take the City pass for $30 instead, same thing but cheaper, for me the all point was to get to see the Statue of Liberty but once you are there on the Ferri they don’t even stop for 5 min, people running from one place to other to get a good picture! Even that the tour guide was great the tour is disappointing, look for better options, or I really recommend you to do it in your own the places you really want to visit, you probably get to see more, paying less and getting great memories!
We took the New York in a day tour and it was awesome! Tour guide Tim and driver Tony are outstanding at the job they do. They made the trip to New York for us. Take this tour. You will not regret it. Thanks Tim and Tony. --Houston, Jr.
A friend & I took the NYC In One Day guided tour on 7/22/2019 at 11:00 am. Rachel was our guide & Arles was our driver. This was a fantastic tour & recommend it highly. We learned & saw a lot. High point World Trade Center & so many other sights. Then a boat ride. For lunch we had the best Pizza. All in all, this tour is worth taking. Go do it, you will be glad you did!
Our tour guide, Gil, as well as the driver, Raymond, were great!Because of traffic our time got very limited but they did their best to fit every attraction into the schedule.Gil was very nice and regularly took pictures of us on every stop and provided a lot of local tips about the best food and best places to go.
Excellent guided tour of Manhattan/NYC. It is a bit confusing exactly where to meet/gather at, but when you get to the location, it works itself. Just know you are not looking for a physical location, but a person who will help load you onto the buses. Our tour guide was Tyler and she was amazing. She did a great job keeping us moving and on schedule, while taking enough time to explain and show us the city. There was a great pride in her city she gave, which cannot be faked. Great little tid-bits of information through out. The tour was long, but it is pretty comprehensive. Definitely gives you a great overview of Manhattan and what to follow up to visit in the future. We did the day long 10-4 ish tour.
We had the best time on this tour, the one day guided tour .Gil, our guide was so knowledgeable and answered all questions. Anthony, our driver got us safely there. We loved this tour, it gives you such a great intro to what this city is all aboutThanks Gil and Anthony!!
Very interesting. Tour guide was very knowledgeable
Awesome our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. She had an answer for every question, loved her character such a wonderful lady
This is the best tour of NYC. Tim and Pedro are the best. Tim is very knowledgeable and is up to date with pop culture. I will suggest this team to all of my friends!
I made a mistake on my booking date and was surprised when I was called by the tour guide to find out why I wasnt there.He then quickly changed my booking date without a charge. On the day of our tour I continued to be impressed by Gil and Anthonys thoughtfulness and how they anticipated our needs. They had rain panchos and water available. Gil called an audible and gave us a tour of Grand Central instead of getting us wet in Central Park. Gil was very knowledgeable and personable.He made the time go quickly.I was surprised at how much he knew about pop culture as well as history and practical tips about NYC. I appreciated how he made our international tourists comfortable . Anthony negotiated some difficult traffic situations and his driving put me at ease. I have back problems and appreciated Gils silently keeping track of me as I lagged behind at times. I knew I would not be a lost sheep under his watch.
Unfortunately I cannot review the actual tour. My wife and I were in town for our honeymoon June 8th – 15th and had booked the 11am tour on June 9th. I suddenly became ill (something I ate the night before??) just before we left and we had to bail. The employee who was checking everyone in was so quick to offer to look for seats on the same tour the next morning. That was so awesome!! Unfortunately I had not recovered by then and we had to cancel the tour altogether – an informed them so that they would have the seats available. I was so happy with the level of customer service that I simply had to leave this review. Any company that takes care of customers this well deserves mention. Thanks guys!!
Although originally disappointed that the bus was top-covered, Gils personability, his vast knowledge of the city, his sense of humor, and passion for The Big Apple [art, old movies, food] made this tour an enjoyable one.Gil isnt just fun to have around. He is also an advocate. There was an Italian family in our group, a group of loud and undisciplined kids and parents. So, instead of letting them run around, ruining the whole trip for the rest of us, he repeatedly called them to order [politely, but firmly]. He gave us great tips on where to eat, which Broadway theatre has the most discounted tickets, where to be at what day and time, and what to say/not to say to cab drivers [and actually stayed behind working a good route so me and my boyfriend can commute cheapely to Newark, NJ, where we would be taking our plane back to Seattle - an error that overwhelmed us throughout the tour, being new to the East Coast].Gils warm professionalism, along with Roys mad driving skill, made a day that would have otherwise been rushed and too short, plenty to learn through.5 stars for both. You wont regret choosing this company.
My group had an amazing tour! Tim was the best tour guide you could ever ask for! We got to see the entirety of Manhattan! I would definitely go again!
Gil, you were an awesome guide. Very informative and fun tour. Driver Anthony was great! Always felt safe. We really saw a lot, Fabulous day. Thank you
Jerry the driver and Dana the tour guide were so friendly and full of interesting NY facts so patient with the large group. Instructions when leaving the bus always clear. It was a fun day all due to Danas friendly dispersition and Jerrys excelent driving skills.
My teenage granddaughters and I took this tour and it was amazing due to our guide Racheal! She is not only brilliant, but entertaining and humorous. It was by far the best tour I have ever taken - learned so much!
Regardless of tour company, the tour guide is ultimately the person who will make your experience good or not. We had a great tour guide who provided a lot of details and stories at each location which kept us interested and entertained.
I submitted a detailed report to them but doubt that anything would be taken seriously. This tour was mediocre to say the least. There Re other cheaper options that offer so much more. If they pay attention to the small little things they can be a great tour operator.
What a great day! Thank you to Roy our driver and J our fantastic tour guide. So much interesting information delivered with good humour. I highly recommended these guys!
Great experience overall just wish it wasnt to regimented.. no one likes feeling like they are in grade school with lining up and following the leader
Our guide Tyler was just wonderful and how could wen forget our driver Betty! She navigated the bus through the crazy Manhattan traffic expertly
Viewed historic landmarks! Great tour and very knowledgeable!
A really great way to see NYC, especially if you are short on time like we were. Our guide was awesome and told us so many interesting things.
Our travel guide, Tyler, was very knowledgeable . She was pleasant and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour
Love this tour...If u have short time span and wanna see main attractions of NY then go for it.
Great way to start off a trip to New York City and understand its history. They also provide a list of the best eats around town and other useful information.
Nice your. Brandon was very knowledgeable of the city and points if interest.
Everything was great, the shocks need to be fixed on the bus we were on.
Newyork tour guide was not familiar, he doesnt spoken any time with us.many time we slept to understand him but he didnt Care.
Was fun but a little cool riding the top side.
The tour guide and the driver were awesome!!
Good to spend time u cab find alot to have fun with
We enjoyed the guided tour. The guide was excellent. It is worth taking this tour.

Really nice and friendly people 😊
FABULOUS TOUR
Our guide, Rachel, was just fantastic! Not only did this tour take us to many of the landmarks and must-sees in New York but also taught us history along the way and also how to be a New Yorker for the day; what lingo to use, who to look for when buying a service, how to bargain/haggle on price, and how to properly make your way throughout the city (Uptown, Downtown, Historical areas, East vs West). Very thorough and our family enjoyed it.
We had an AWESOME time with Gil touring NYC!!! The tour shows so many iconic places of the city!!! Gil gave so much history and knew so many interesting facts!!!! I would highly recommend this tour!!!!
6 times tour of Manhattan. The guide was knowledgeable. A small bus with 30 people was convenient. 1 hour boat trip was included and it was also nice. The trip can be recommended.
Very good and very nice guide
Hurry to guide you through most of New Yorks attractions. The guide is very interesting.
I dont know them

2022-03-31All I can say is Kudos to Betty for being an amazing driver through the city! She kept everyone safe through the smallest areas of the roads, Excellent driver! Jim was spectacular hosting us through the city.. from joking to detailed info of the city he kept everyone entertained. This was my first time doing a tour in a city before as well as a first time visit to NYC and I couldnt of had a better time anywhere else. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you guys for showing my wife and I such a pleasant experience.

2022-04-30Excellent dusk to dark tour of NYC. Robert the tour guide, life long New Yorker, gave the insider view of life and history of the City that never sleeps. Best part of the tour is the three different bus stops and walks that give you an insiders visit to some of the best landmarks. The bus was comfortable, climate controlled and complementary water. Highly recommend this tour that feels private not just a hop on hop off double decker. Bonus points when the tour ended at the last stop we saw Pam Anderson leaving her Broadway play!

2022-06-21USA Guided Tours was an excellent way to see the city! I really enjoyed our guide Steve. Steve gave great insights to the city and even went out of his way to teach me the basics of the subway (which I used later on my first try). The tour was a fun way to see parts of the city I wouldnt have been able to along with great information from a local. Also want to give a shoutout to Betty our driver! I recommend taking the smaller tour which is the open top bus! Remember to tip your driver & guide!

2022-06-06Pedro was amazing to work with. I spoke with him many days in arranging this tour. If possible take a private tour. It wasn’t that much difference in the price. Jen was an excellent tour guide. She knew her history. And she had a very touching personal story she shared with us about her 9/11 experience. They did a great job. We even stopped for pizza at a great pizza pie restaurant with Pedro and Jens recommendation.

2021-12-21This was our first visit to NYC. With only a couple of days in the city, we wanted to learn the lay of the land and get a feel for places we might want to further explore. This tour was PERFECT!Tyler, our tour guide, was terrific! She has a true love for New York. Her knowledge and passion are apparent, and she made the experience absolutely wonderful! Our driver was awesome as well!The tour includes a ride all over the city in a very comfortable bus, during which we learned about the sights and the neighborhoods. There are several stops, where we got off the bus and were able to walk around with our guide and take photos.The description of the tour online gives all the details … but, what it doesn’t tell you is just how fantastic the experience is. Tyler and our driver knocked it out of the park! They gave me and my mom an unforgettable day - I absolutely recommend this tour - THANK YOU, USA Guided Tours! #usagt

2021-11-23Excellent! Gil and Jose made a terrific tour-team. Covered a lot of ground and saw so much more than we could do on our own. The bus was very clean and luxurious. We used Gil’s hints and recommendations throughout the rest of our trip. Worth the $$$$.

2022-04-15My first time in New York, with much to see and do. On a short stay, I didnt want to just wander around. So I booked both the evening and day time tours with USA Guided Tours NYC. Perfect thing to have done! Open tour bus the best! Excellent services from...Adrian who will check you in and on; Carlos the driver; Brenden evening & Rhonda day time guides 👏🙌🙏
