Many thanks to Best New York Tours for giving us the Best. Tour. Ever! We wanted to spend time seeing the City while waiting for a late departure out of Newark following a cruise. This did not disappoint. Our group of 7 (including a 3 year old) was picked up at the cruise port in Bayonne, NJ by a very courteous driver in a spacious Sprinter van. After a short drive to Manhattan, we met our guide who did an outstanding job showing us the sights and teaching us the history of the greatest city in the world.
Even though we have previously visited some of the same locations during previous visits, our guide was able to share additional perspective as only a native New Yorker can.
During our 4-hour tour, our guide showed us many parts of the City we had not previously seen, including parts of Brooklyn, China Town, Greenwich Village, Joe’s Pizza (a must-see!), Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and Times Square. We really enjoyed being able to get out of the vehicle and see the sights rather than simply being stuck on a bus all day.
Kudos to Sheldon for being a great tour guide and Gee for his superb driving (including a drop off at the airport in Newark at the end of the day). We could not have been more pleased with the experience they provided. We highly recommend to anyone who has a few hours and wants to truly experience New York in the best way possible. Thank you for a great time!
