Took this tour on Saturday October 4th. Recommend going on early tour to avoid traffic. Driver and guide Sean were both very good. Obvious that they both enjoy their job and go the extra mile to make experience pleasant. You see a lot of attractions with good insights to history so that when your trip is complete you can make... more

My husband and I just took this tour on Sunday. Our driver was Melvin and our guide was Trey. They were both wonderful! They had a great sense of humor and were very entertaining the whole day. We had such a great time. You see so many things in a short amount of time! We only had 2 days in... more

I am surprized to see the negative reviews of Onboard bus tours. We took the 5 1/2 hr day tour and we loved it. It was our first time in New York and this tour was great as it gave us a good idea of where things are and what we would like to go back and explore further during... more

My husband and I took the See the Lights Tour (On Board Tours New York) on Monday, June 09, 2008. I had called two days prior to going, to confirm which guided walking tours were included in the See the Lights Tour. I was told that, among others, the World Trade Centre Zero site was one of them. This was... more

In my opinion Do not waste your time or money with this tour company. The tour guy we had was not friendly at all and had a bad attitude. The bus was not as clean as it could be. They acted as if they had not time to answer any questions and they flew past everything you wanted to see.... more

We have just returned from NYC and took the onboard tour at 3pm on a Saturday. The bus was full but roomy, air conditioned with free bottled water available The tour gives a pretty full snapshot of New York, but it was a little rushed and we found ourselves driving past many sights with no opportunity to take pictures, except... more

just returned from the USA and lucky enough to go to New York , after reading all the reports on TA booked the 1/2 day tour and it was really good , the best thing for us as compared to the hop on / off style or the sit on the bus and look style was that the Guide got... more

In New York, there are many tour companies trying to flog you tours on the street. To me there is no personal customer service in this. That's where Onboard tours is different. It is smaller air conditioned bus which sort resembles a school bus. The AC was much appreciated in the soaring temperatures of the city. Laurie, our tour guide... more

Recently, my partner's family visited us and we decided to take them all on an OnBoard tour. Our tour guide and driver were both great. In all honesty, this was not an easy group--one 78 year man who has problems walking, my sister in law (who was not feeling well), her fiance, my partner, and myself. But, everyone had a... more

Great tour for everyone who has a limited time to spend in New York and wants to see as much as possible. The itinerary is very comprehensive. The bus is a good size (capacity of about 30 passengers). Our tour guide Tom is excellent and shares a lot of great NY trivia such as what movie a landmark was featured... more
