New York Shuttle Tours

We took the 9 hour main NY City tour because it would get us to see pretty much everything we wanted all in one day. We did go to all the locations listed, but we didn’t go IN to all the place they said we would go in to. We did not go into the following locations: Saint Patricks Cathedral (just drove by), Federal Hall (we were there on a weekday) or Trinity Church, We did not hear anything about the Ticker Tape Parade route, not sure if we drove it or not.
The ‘walking tour’ of Little Italy can’t really be considered a walking tour. It was just a few facts while we stood outside the restaurant and then walked back to the bus. The food was OK, but didn’t seem any more Italian than what we get at home. I might suggest taking them up on the option to eat elsewhere.
We were supposed to have 45 minutes at the ⁹⁄₁₁ Memorial Pools and really only had about 20 – 25 minutes there. That was a real disappointment.
The bus was about 15 minutes late to arrive and then at the Empire State Building we waited at least 30 minutes past the meeting time for 1 person who hadn’t returned yet. I wonder if those 45 minutes would have allowed us to get all of the experiences we missed. I can see waiting 5, maybe 10 minutes, but it’s not fair to the rest of us to miss out on things because people don’t pay attention to the time. (the Empire State Building wasn’t crowded so it wasn’t an issue of him not being able to get to see it all).
Overall, it was a decent tour in that we got to see a lot, but definitely short-​changed us on a few things.

Loved this tour we had with this company. We hit pretty much all of the touristy things you could do in NYC. knocked it out in one day. We had Sean as our tour guide and it was awesome. So informative and funny. He gave great recommendations for just about everything. And plenty of tips for cab drivers, subways and daily NYC living. Would definitely recommend this company.

I would give them more stars if I could! This tour is awesome!!! Our tour guide Derrick was very informative, really nice, made us laugh, n was an excellent fuide. Gotta give jus as much credit to our driver Nadine… driving in NY is crazy, but she kept us safe n the ride was smooth despite all the traffic and she was always smiling! 9 hr may sound like a long time, but u see a lot n the time flies! Not a boring tour n these 2 really timed everything perfect again despite all the traffic, roadwork, n unexpected lane closures!!! LOVE IT n highly recommend it! We definitely will hv a lot to share when we go bk to hawaii!!!

My husband and I were visiting New York for the first time to celebrate our first anniversary. We had many friends give us suggestions on restaurants, activities and shows, but since we were unfamiliar with New York we had no idea where anything was located. We came upon the 9 hour tour and decided to book it — we figured it would be a great way to help us acclimate ourselves with the city and see all the tourists sights right off the bat. This was the best decision! We booked the tour for the first full day we were in New York and couldn’t have been happier about the decision. It truly helped us get a feel for the City, learn uptown from downtown and experience all the great tourist attractions without the hassle of booking/​paying/​standing in line for another ticket. Our tour guide, Mark, was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable and we greatly enjoyed chatting with him. He was personable and even suggested a fun bar for us to head to after the tour. For those of you going when we did — in the middle of winter, while it is snowing — it was great! The bus was covered, heated and the driver was great too! We highly recommend this tour for anyone heading to New York!

Exactly what I was looking for. This was an amazing tour. I got to see practically all of NY’s landmarks in a day and what really made the tour worth it’s value is our tour guide Jack. He gave so many interesting facts that you wouldn’t get in an ordinary tour. Got to skip lines, didn’t have to pay additional for tickets to the Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, etc. Very much worth the trip.
