NYC 6 hr bus and walking tour. Good experience, nice overview of major things to see in Manhattan. For us they adjusted the order of the stops based on avoiding a parade, and our guide gave some great tips on the ferry to get good pictures away from most of the crowds. Our guide Don was a native New Yorker with good stories and a sense of humor! read more

Great tour!, Tony was friendly and greeted us when we arrived, he offered to take our picture at time square. Manuel did a great job driving around and held the water chest open between stops so we can get cold water when needed. read more

Rachel and Manuel are the best! If you can get on their tour, DO IT!!! Knowledgeable, friendly and special. read more

Had an amazing experience with Rachel! She's the best tour guide. Worked with the group as a team and covered all aspects of the tour nicely. Highly recommend her for the tour and you'll learn more about NY. Kudos to bus driver Jimmy as well! read more

Comfortable ride until the A/C was turned off due to over heating. Disappointed. Did not go to Statue of Liberty, The Bull, Universities or Cathedrals. I expected a vehicle with windows I could see out of during the tour. Was pretty boring. Bus had dark windows so we were not able to take pictures while on the bus. read more

Had a great experience on our tour with guide Rachel. She was very knowledgeable and gave us good tips for the city. Highly recommend if this is your first time and suggest doing this on the first day of your trip. read more

Totally worth the money to see all the sights of Manhattan Island. Our tour guide brought an authenticity to the New York experience! You see everything from the theater district to the Wall Street bull. You ride the Staten Island ferry to see Lady Liberty, just a great tour! read more

Wonderful, quick, informational, and fun 6 hour tour in NYC. Rachel and Manuel did a great job touring us around safely and quickly. We wish it lasted longer, but we understand we would need to take another tour. We appreciate all the time and attention of Rachel to educate us on New York. Thanks so much for the organization and information. read more

We were only in NYC for 3 nights last week and I'm so glad we took this tour. Rachel was our guide and she was personable, practical, informative, and had a good sense of humour. I learned so much about different areas of Manhattan, the history, the famous places and people, etc, and also got useful practical advise about visiting NYC, such as riding the subway, avoiding the "hustlers" in Times Square, etc. We did several stops where we were walking around, including visiting Rockefeller Plaza, Strawberry Fields memorial, 9/11 memorial (I learned a lot about that), and going on the Staten Island Ferry. We also did a quick lunch stop at a food court near the memorial. There were bottles of water and ponchos available on the bus if needed. Thank you Rachel for giving us such a great tour, especially for first-time visitors! And we left learning about places to visit on our next visit! read more

Kenny was an outstanding tour guide for the city. He is passionate, funny, and keeps a good pace throughout the day. If you are wanting to see the big city, but nervous about doing it on your own I would go with this crew. They take care of it all. It's like a crash course on the city. It's amazing. read more

Our tour with Rachel was great! She's incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to New York's rich history and Art Deco architecture. She provided us with great tips on a handout with things to do around the city. You wont get away from her on your tour, she handles her group with fun and firmness. Put the tour on your to do list when you are visiting New York. It's a winner. read more

My family and I came to New York to visit family and decided why we were here. We were going to take a tour of New York City. We had chosen to use the top bus where you can see through the top of the ceiling. Mim where is our tour guide and she did such an excellent job. She explained the history of what we were seeing and told us what we were saying and made the picture quite enjoyable and fine. I will highly recommend this tour. read more

This review is based on my 2023 September 2nd trip. I knew I should have written this sooner rather than later; I had forgotten everything I wanted to share. Ah well, that means this review will be short (I hope). TAKEAWAYS Tour Guide: Rachel At first glance, Rachel comes off as a no-nonsense and slightly intimidating type of gal. That observation quickly faded when I realized she had a sarcastic and dry sense of humor. By the end of the tour, I felt like she was part of my family, and I would text her for life guidance. I didn't. Driver: Carlos Observing such a partnership between Rachel and our bus driver was pretty impressive. And bonus: he smiles a lot and is very cheerful. Tour in General By the end of the tour, I felt there was so much more to see and learn about the city. Not only the popular locations (ie. Charging Bull, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty), Rachel provided information about the cities, towns, sectors, history, and all the stuff that I found absolutely fascinating. Take note: Rachel said that by the end of the tour, everyone on the bus will know how to ride the subway trains. And dangit, this b*tch was right. Additionally, she made me feel comfortable doing so. I watched too much SVU and felt terrified to try it when I arrived in New York. I never rode an Uber the rest of my time in New York. Verdict: Highly Recommended I already recommended it to two(2) of my co-workers, and here I am, recommending the USA Tour Guide to you! read more

Our tour guide Lyonel was fantastic. So many fantastic stops and great information provided at each place.

We booked a 6 hour tour to encompass many of the must see things on our short agenda. The rest of our trip was scheduled around the activities on this tour. We began the tour with a small group of about 14 in a nice van. The guide was not very friendly and didn't "share endless details about the city" as described in all the tour reviews. It also appeared that the driver and guide were not on the same page either. Appeared to be tension there. We were in tragic about 1.5 hours into the tour when I began to see smoke coming from the engine and smell the distinct odor of an engine overly. I was sitting up front so I attempted to point this out to the guide. He was not concerned at first but after about 15 minutes he mentioned something to the driver. They then began to argue about who was going to call in to management and report the problem. They pulled over and left us in the van with no ac on an 85 degree day as they went back and forth with "the boss". Eventually, the determination was made that they could not send a second van to pick us up and continue the tour. We were told we would be refunded and we had to get out of the van right there. No idea where we were or where to go and no advice from the staff. It took us almost 3 hours to get back to where we needed to be due to a parade that closed off the street we had to cross to get over there. The worst thing is that we missed all the most important things on the tour and were not able to get to all of them on the rest of our short trip. This was an absolutely terrible experience and I feel it was handled about as badly as it could have been by all involved. read more

We are a group of 11 and attended the tour today. Rachael was our guide and Juan our driver. We enjoyed the tour very much. Rachel was very informative and kept the group alert and together at all times. I highly recommend this tour and Rachel as our guide. We hit a lot of major places and felt accomplished by the end of day. Awesome overall. read more

We got around the whole of Manhattan today with Kevin and Juan. Juan, the driver, had all the various traffic issues of the day handled. Kevin, our guide, had so much to share and reflect upon. We had much to see, and it didn't feel rushed or inauthentic. 5 stars! read more

This was an amazing tour. Rachel was a great guide and our driver Jimmy got us through some heavy traffic. I would recommend if you are not in the physical shape to walk a lot that you skip this. There is a lot of walking involved and at times speed walking. It is a tour that gives you all the glimpses of NYC so you can decide what you would like to spend more time at on your own. We thought it was perfect. I also recommend going early or on the first day of your vacation. I will be recommending this to everyone I know who is visiting. read more

Rachel was an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable. She got us to all of our destinations in record time especially the ferry ride. Thanks so much. read more

Mim is a great guide! although we had seen most of the sights before we learned so much more and it was all so much more interesting.

Was visiting NYC for only 4 days and wanted maximize our time. My daughter's first time here and wanted her to see as much as possible. Booked this 6 hours tour. Was greeted by Kevin P and driver Carlos( I think that was his name). Kevin gave us all a wonderful backstory and history lesson about the wonderful city. Even though we hit some traffic , his story telling was superb that we didn't feel like we were in traffic. We learned a lot in a short time and was very happy about this tour and will recommend to all our friends. read more

Rachel and Juan did an incredible job showing us around New York. I definitely recommend a tour with them both!

SHOUT OUT TO OUR AMAZING TOUR GUIDE, Jim! Best tour guide EVER! It was like having your own personal Danny Devito as a tour guide the only bummer was I was under the impression it was an Open-Top Bus... because I paid for an open top bus..... but it was a glass-top bus. Sort of a bummer because I get claustrophobic and ended up in the back row, pretty crammed and I felt motion sick on the drive from Rockefeller to the Staten Island Ferry (about 90 straight minutes in the bus). So I highly recommend getting to the meeting spot 30 minutes early to get a good spot on the bus that isn't the back row. Other than that, the tour was awesome! One more shout out to Jim who made the experience SO great. read more

Rachel and Manny were the perfect team! Rachel was so knowledgeable and very witty while manny perfectly navigated the NY traffic. Plenty of stops, pictures, and i really felt a lot of ground was covered and we were able to learn so much. Definitely recommended read more

100% percent WORTH 6 hours of your NY day. Our Guide was Rachel and Driver Manny! Thank you both for a phenomenal well run and incredibly informative day. Rachel is FULL of tips and tricks that will have you feeling like a native by the end of your trip, or at least monstrously prepared for anything Uptown, Downtown or New Jersey has to offer. Do yourself a favor and snatch up this tour before it's sold out. You'll be upset you didn't jump on it sooner. read more

The good: window roofed passenger van with a smaller group. A safe driver. We went to a lot of places in NYC. The bad: Much talking from tour guide while we stood inside a mall. We waited to ferry to Staten Island, disembarked, waited to reload a ferry, then return. A waste of time that could have been spent doing other more productive touristy things. read more

Absolutely fantastic!! This is a must if you're going to New York for the first time (as I). I have been to many cities and I've joined many many guided tours, I can honestly said that this is the best. The tour guide Jonathan made the differences, he's knowledgeable , professional, kind, and friendly. He attended to the need of every member, at every stop he gave us enough time to explore. He gave detailed information of what to expect, what to do and where to meet up. I love his voice, it's soothing and clear. Love the glass top. It made it so easy to see the skyscrapers in New York. There were only 11 people in our group which made it very easy to listen to Jonathan when we're off the bus when there's no mic. Six hours flew by, at the end of the tour nobody wanted to leave. Request Jonathan if you can. I'm a seasoned traveler, in my opinion, he's the very best!! read more

Highly recommend this company and this tour for Your visit to the city. Finney and Jim.. what a great combo for a long tour. We walked on our own a day before the tour and saw what we could, we learned a few tips today that could have helped yesterday, Today felt perfect. Loved being on a very comfy heated bus with water and a wall plug to charge our phones. Loved the natural New Yorker in our guide he kept us interested and excited for each stop. We had two teenagers with us that slept in the back row in between stops but once we got home they talked about the tour as if they actually paid attention. That has to speak for the energy during the tour. This takes you to go SEE things not go DO things. You will go on the ferry and ride in a comfy bus around the city. read more

We enjoyed our guide, Brooklyn Jim, so much. What a fun & knowledgeable guy! We were on the smaller bus with only 4 other families, we really liked that! And our driver was amazing: the patience of a saint to drive in NYC pandemonium. Thank you! read more

This was the tour me and my friend booked when we are in New York City. The tour was a half day tour and it took us everywhere. We really enjoyed ourselves. My favorite stop on the tour was definitely Central Park by the Strawberry Fields. It was so beautiful. Central Park is a must if you're visiting NYC. Our tour guide Rachel was super sweet; informative, funny, and amazing. I would book this same tour again and recommend it to my friends. We also got super lucky because we stayed at the Manhattan On Times Square and the tour bus pickup location was literally one block over. read more

Dina, Dina, Dina. What an informative tour guide. We learned so much that we didn't know about New York from her. The tour started at 11am and ended around 4:45. We stopped so many places! Each location had its own personality and charm. My favorite part about the tour was the air conditioning. I read a lot of negative reviews about those open air buses so I decided to look for a better option. They did not disappoint. I was especially excited to see the Statue of Liberty up close. That was awesome. I wasn't crazy about the cruise at the end of the tour because it was really windy and the waves were really rocking! Im sure I would enjoy that on a more flat day. (I get seasick, lol). I would recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to learn about New York in a short amount of time. They have many tours going on. We chose the daytime tour. Just wonderful. read more

We booked based on the recommendation from a friend and all I can say is that the tour format and tour guide was amazing!! I've done the double-decker tours and this tour was so much better!! It is a long tour - 6 hours, but there are so many stops along the way that you are constantly doing something. If you have the time, the USA Guided tour of Manhattan is THE best way to see the city for the first time!! read more

This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about New York. He said he's been doing this for 22 years. It was a smaller bus , so fewer people. Big windows for viewing. They even supplied rain ponchos and water. There was even a USB port for your phone. Be aware there's lots of stops and walking involved. My friend struggled with bad knees. We were always behind but they were all kind enough to wait for us. It also included the Staten Island Ferry Ride. Highly recommend!! read more

My first time in NYC and I wanted a guided tour. I wanted something more than a "hop on and off" generic bus tour and found this company. For about $100 you get a 6 hour guided tour with a tour guide that gets off the bus with you and points things out. Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable and we had a great time getting driven all over town and learning about the city and its history. Even went on the Staten Island ferry. It was in a smaller group and well worth the time and money. read more

Had a tour today with Rachel and Manny. It was great! We saw and learned so much. It was just the right amount of time.
