Loved the all day tour. Great tour guide. Very informative. Loved the water taxi and the Zephyr cruiser and the tour of the 911 memorial. The bus was late picking us up twice because there was a parade affecting traffic and we had to forgo two sites and finished the tour at 5pm instead of 4pm. However, they extended the... More

I booked a private tour for my special education high school students this May. Fred and our tour guide Tyler could not have been more accomodating and understanding of our students (and the difficulties of booking a trip like this for a school group with special needs). We had a fabulous time and almost a month later my students and... More

My wife and I visited New York city the weekend of May 17-19th. Neither of us were familiar with the New York, so we searched for guided tours on the Internet. We came across the On-Board premier tour of New York and booked it online a few months prior to our trip. We arrived about 45 minutes early and had... More

On Wed. April 24, my sisters, friends, and I took an On-Board See-it-all shuttle tour in NYC at 10 a.m. with Robert Cruz. He is an excellent guide and storyteller, so genuine and knowledgeable. He didn't seem to have a set script but drew from his experience and reading. We all think he was the best, never boring or rushed,... More

I have booked our tickets online for "NY See It All Tour", not the premium one. Even though I have called them up to verify the date, somehow my family name was missing in the list. I showed them my voucher and get accepted. So arrive there 30 mins early otherwise you might be bumped to the next bus. Anyway,... More

Whenever we visit a new city, we get on a tour - we find it helps us get our bearings and to decide what we want to explore further (and what we won't bother with). This tour has to be the best we've encountered, head and shoulders above Bath, Oxford, London, Paris, Vienna, Barcelona etc. Why? We had a real... More

We did this tour at the behest of our traveling companions. I personally would have preferred to explore on my own but it did give a broad overview of the city and it's neighborhoods. If you are at all unsure about finding your way around or you are just beginning a week stay-I would highly recommend. Our guide John was... More

We enjoyed our tour over all. Our tour guide was funny and interesting, and we had very little waits for the water taxi and other things. I see someone said that the "See It All Tour" does not include the 9/11 Memorial site....but we were taken there, got to go to the head of the line and spent time inside... More

We originally were going to walk around lower Manhattan ourselves but decided to do the Freedom Tour instead. Our guide was great and kept us informed all the way around the tour. She made sure that at each boat ride and the 911 memorial site we skipped all the lines and went to the front of the queue! She was... More

We really did enjoy the all day tour, but I can't ignore the problems. First, Howie, our tour guide was amazing, he tried his best to survive the problems, and Joe our driver stayed overtime to help us finish our tour. But I just cannot give a high rating to a tour that got us stuck with nothing to do... More
