This was our 2nd OnBoard Tour. The 1st was the evening tour, which was just great. The fact that we went with the same company says alot for us. We scheduled the 11AM Sunday (4/29/12) Freedom tour and "Brooklyn Jim" was our guide. The earlier tour (9:30) had 14 people, but it was just my wife and I on this... More

I booked the NY see it all tour (duration: 5.5 hours), hoping to have the tour that would show me as much as possible of New York in one day. They do deliver, you get to see a lot of the city’s highlights, although you get to see the most of them from the bus or the included boattour. But... More

It was excellent, our tour guide Stefan was fabulous. We really enjoyed the tour and have highly recommended it to our family and friends. It is definitely well worth the money. Stefan was extremely knowledgeable and recommended other activities to do and see during our stay. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary while in New York and were very... More

We chose the on board ny tours because they offered a great package that included tickets to the 911 site as well as a walking tour of the area. We got there on time - they suggest getting there 30 minutes before - but we stood waiting for nearly 45 minutes before our bus arrived to take us to the... More

Having only one day in New York, prior to sailing out of Bayonne, N.J. we were really hoping to see as much as we could, and this tour did not disappoint! Stefan, our guide was so knowledgeable and informative from anything from the history of N.Y.City to restaurant recommendations and the best places to shop. He was friendly and more... More

My wife and I took the Freedom tour in Early April 2012 as part of a 5 day trip to NYC. It was without doubt one of the best parts of the whole stay and definitely the best organised tour I have ever taken. We saw so much of the city we otherwise wouldn't have had the time or insight... More

I read while registering that you don't need to print out your reservation number or confirmation. But when everyone met at the Theatre to board the bus, they all had printouts! So I got a bit scared. When it was my turn to board the bus, I told him I didn't have a print out - and he said you... More

Totally worth the time and money! Fast paced, so wear comfortable shoes! Leave yourself a day or so after the tour to revisit the places you liked best as the tour moves quickly, but definitely got to see the highlights of New York City. Didn't have to wait in the long lineup for the Trade Center site tour, the tour... More

My family did the "See It All Tour" of NYC and it met or exceeded all expectations. Our guide, driver and bus were all top-notch. It was Easter weekend and our driver expertly maneuvered around traffic so that we were never sitting idle. The tour guide and driver stayed in constant contact via cell phone so that the bus was...

My daughter, sister and niece travelled to New York for the first time 2 weeks ago for a girls weekend. We wanted to see as much of the city as possible as well have plenty of time to explore on our own. I am so happy we chose On Board Tours. It was so nice not to have to worry... More
