“My Ultimate Broadway Tour in NYC made outstanding with Cliff's tour!”

Reviewed February 15, 2012

This was my first trip to NYC and the trip was definately enhanced by my experience with Cliff at Custom and Private tours. Cliff is warm, friendly and VERY funny. It is easy to see he is a proud New Yorker with an outstanding amount of knowledge about this beautiful city. The wealth of information regarding the history of Central... More

“SUPERB!!!!”

Reviewed January 23, 2012

I arranged a sightseeing tour for a group of corporate clients we flew over from London to New York for the weekend. I was a bit apprehensive as we did the same thing the previous year and took a recommendation from the concierge at The Ritz Carlton which frankly turned out to be a disaster. Cliff was very reassuring prior... More

Great time with Cliff - we managed to cover a large amount of ground in a short time, while never feeling rushed, and learning lots of random new facts (especially for someone who has been to the city multiple times). I would highly recommend Cliff again, I always say I'm allergic to tour guides, but he has a unique style... More
