“Our tour guide Ray was great so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a bit of a slow start on foot but once we got on the bus 🚌 it was awesome. The driver was a gem and navigated the streets beautifully. The coach was amazingly comfortable seats were like armchairs. Ray covered so many of the hotspots which really helped us to get a good grounding of the city. The trip over on the ferry was great too. Would highly recommend this to anyone especially on first day of a NY holiday”
