New York City, United States of America
When your cruise ship comes to an end in New York City, tour the city in style by private car, with your own personal navigator to guide you!

What a fantastic way to get off of a cruise ship and spend the morning while waiting for your NYC hotel room!! We had the privilege of having James pick us up without a hitch at the cruise terminal. He's absolutely a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable and personable which made our tour really enjoyable. James took us to fun stops to try the locals eats and made every attempt to customize our tour to our interests. He was such a fun guy and also very passionate about educating us about the history of the city and the diverse culture within. Highly recommended. Ask for James!

The 8 people in my group were terribly disappointed in this excursion. The driver, Jose, was very polite and professional, but provided no tour. It felt more like a very expensive extended airport transfer. The only commentary provided was to let us know where we were. When we first got into the shuttle he asked us where we wanted to go. As far as I was concerned the tour outline told us where we were going to go before I ever booked it and I should not have needed to figure that out. Our taxi driver getting us to the cruise was more informative and provided a better tour than we received for the 680 we spent. What a waste of money.

What a great tour! James - aka Jimmy - was great. He made sure we saw everything on our bucket list and then showed us sights that only a native New Yorker would know about. He was so personable - we enjoyed every minute of it. We would highly recommend!_br/_ John and Sherri Allen

Prompt pick up at the cruise terminal. Very informative. Good overall tour of Manhatten. We were able to get out at a couple of stops and do walkabouts. Great way to see the city before check in at hotels.

James was very good. He was very informative and he took us to all the locations we wantd to go to. The tour was good and the pick-up at the cruise terminal and drop-off at Newark were very efficient. Can not find fault with anything.

What a fantastic way to be welcomed to New York! The van was plenty big enough. The driver and guide both made our trip very enjoyable. They chose to take us to places that we wouldn't have gone otherwise, like Greenwich Village, which was beautiful. We got out and had a quick walk around, which we also did at the Lincoln Centre where we stopped for a coffee and facilities. The guide was very knowledgeable. Would definitely chose this option if we went again!
