Fred was the best ever. Knowledgeable, funny, interesting and really took the time to answer everyone's questions. We were on our honeymoon and weren't sure if we wanted to spend five hours doing this but opted to go. Glad we did, it was so great and we had a blast. We both had been to NYC a number of times...

Owner description:
With NYSee Tours, you'll experience the Big Apple through the eyes of a native New Yorker. We stop at Chelsea Market for lunch, where you'll find almost anything your heart (and stomach) desires. It's surely a hot spot for locals looking to grab a bite. And at the end of the tour, your guides take you back uptown via the Subway. Your guides have lived in New York for years; some all their lives. They couple their knowledge and history of New York, with personal anecdotes and stories that will allow you to experience New York in a way that only NYSee Tours offers! This highly rated NYC tour is a walking/riding tour of Manhattan. The guide remains with you throughout your tour of New York City, as does the vehicle. You’ll see many of NYC’s most popular attractions, like The Dakota, 5th Avenue, including Saks and Bergdorff Christmas windows and The Rock Center Christmas Tree, Central Park, Lord&Taylor Christmas windows, Bryant Park ice-skating rink, Grand Central Terminal, the World Trade Center site, plus more. We provide our guests with an affordable experience that will have you touring NYC like a real New Yorker! At the end of the tour, we’ll board the subway and head back uptown to Times Square. This unique and highly rated NYC tour is a combination of walking and riding. Your guide remains with you throughout your exploration of New York City, as does the vehicle.

I've just been on the best tour of New York. Fred was an interesting and engaging guide. The tour was a great mix of walking and driven and Fred had loads of interesting stories to tell at each stop and whilst we were. I keep trying to decide what my favourite part of the day was but, in truth, it...

Dear Jenn, Thank you so much for your kind words, you were a fantastic guest! Every time I looked over to you you had a big smile on your face. We had a wonderful group on Saturday and beautiful weather. What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in NYC.

My boyfriend and I spent 1 day in NYC before cruising out of Bayonne, NJ. I chose NYSee because of the great reviews and we had a nice time.
Our group consisted of 14 ppl, which was unfortunately overbooked by 1 person that day, so the van ride was cozy. The van picked us up and dropped us off at...

Yes, it was a bit cozy, but thanks for being a good sport about it. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Weather has been wonderful in NYC, watched "The Ball" drop in TS last night, great crowd, fun night.

As a first time visitor to New York I wanted to get a feel for the city. As I was only there a short time the 'Get Aquainted' Tour was the perfect way to do that. Our guide was really knowledgable and you could tell he was passionate about what he was saying - after listening to him speak you...

Hello Salt Lake City! Thanks for joining us on tour, we had a great time. First-timers to New York present us with a blank slate, and we appreciate you allowing us to help fill it in with our love for the Big Apple. Hope to see you again in the future.

I was born & raised in and around NYC but had moved away. On a recent visit my wife & I thought a tour would be a good way to revisit some of NYC’s great attractions.
Booked the NYSee tour & were picked up in Time’s Square.
The tour guide, Fred, was a true native, extremely knowledgeable. He was full...

Hi Robert thanks for your kind words, there is a fair amount of walking involved, but as you say, nothing a reasonably fit person can't handle. I debated initially when I structured the tour how to handle our locations and realized soon enough that walking is the best way to really get to know the city, After all, NYC is...

I took the NYSee "Get Acquainted with New York City" today, and, as a new resident of The Big Apple, I found it well worth my time.
Fred, the guide, was born and raised in the city and clearly has a love for its history, present and future. He not only showed us sights from the upper West Side, Central...

Fred rocks. Took his tour a year ago and came back with my family. Best 5 hours of the weekend - from Central Park down to Battery Park with many stops in between.

My family moved to Long Island about a year ago and have taken a few trips into NYC on our own. We love it and wanted to share the city with my parents who were visiting for the very first time. After reading reviews I decided NYSee tours would give them a great overview of many great sites without the...
