This is the best way to see NYC. The guide knew and obviously loved the city and was extremely knowledgeable. We did the 6 hour tour and we were not disappointed. Having done the “typical” group tours in other cities, we opted for a private tour and felt we got a bargain. Having a driver and a separate guide was well worth it. The spots we were dropped off were easy walking. This was the best tour I have ever been on.

GREAT experience. This was a first time in NYC for so many of our group and this was THE BEST way to explore the city. The guide and driver were both fantastic. Despite our need for a later start, we were able to see and learn so much.

What a tour! We were met outside of our hotel with a spotless van and the wonderful Bernice and Gee. Our group had a few very hard to please folks with us. Berenice never stopped trying, she kept a smile on her face and did everything in her power to put one on ours. This tour is an amazing treat, to see so much of NYC with an amazing guide and driver! Thank you so much, a group of friends and I are already planning a trip back.

We had a great 6-hour tour of the City. Very comfortable sprinter van that seemed to avoid all traffic due to expert driving and planning. Our guide, Chris, was excellent. His knowledge of the City was endless. There was no question he couldn’t answer. He tailored the tour to our likes and around what we also had planned for our weekend. The walk through Central Park was the highlight.

I did not take this tour as our plans were cancelled due to COVID-19. I was part of a 2 group tour and paid a deposit. When we cancelled, a full refund was mailed to us. I have always felt, when booking and organizing a shore excursion that a lot is arranged before hand. With Best New York tours, this process was smooth and easy. Correspondence was answered promptly and efficiently. One day I do plan to visit New York. I will book with Best New York tours.

My family and I had an amazing tour of NYC! This was our first time in New York and we got to visit many sites without feeling rushed at all. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny, I can definitely say that I’ve learned so much about New York. I really recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit NYC!!

Everything went great and amazing! We did the 4 (four) hour tour. It was all smooth sailing from start to finish throught out Manhattan and Jersey!
Enjoyed all of the recommendations, stories and overall great attitude!
Could not have been more perfect! Just let your guide know what type of scenery you want to experience and they will know exactly what you are looking for.
Great scenery for pictures, video, cool hang outs and restaurants.

My family and I did a 7 hour private tour that was hands down one of the most memorable tours we did on our vacation. Our tour guides name was Tyler and ahe was FANTASTIC!! The knowledge she shared was unbelievable. The entire tour was designed just for our family. We shared with her a few of our absolute must see places and we got to see all of that plus many other places. We would never have seen everything that we got to see in those 7 hours had we tried to do this on our own it would have taken us many days. I would recommend this tour company to anyone that wants to see New York City. Like I said earlier hands down the best tour I have ever been on.

I'm a travel coordinator and have taken tours around the world for some years now. In nearly every major city I employ a local guide to assist and this time I used Sheldon Lapidus to show us New York city. Without fear of contradiction, this was the best day tour by far I have ever had the privilege of being on. Sheldon's encyclopaedic knowledge, his passion for his city and his entertaining delivery style meant that this was a day non-one on my tour group will ever forget. We saw everything we needed to see and quite sinply it was outstanding. THANKS!!!

Does it take you to any of the attractions or is it just a tour of the city.

Are attractions included or is that a separate cost?

Would we be able to get out and walk around like if we wanted to see Coney island, standing in front of the 911 memorial, or other attractions?

Hi, we have a group of 9 arriving from JFK on June 10 at 8am. Is it possible to get picked up at JFK with luggage and book a 6 hour tour? At the end of the tour would it be possible to get dropped off at an AirB&B by Central Park, 2nd ave and E 102nd st vicinity? We still don’t have the exact address even though the room is booked since it’s not until June. If this tour is possible how much would the cost be? Thank you very much for your time and I hope to hear back from you soon!!!
Sincerely

Hello, I’m not sure about picking up at the airport, but they did pick us up at the hotel and dropped us off at another location we requested . Sheldon was our tour guide and he and our driver were super nice and very accommodating. You will
Definitely have a great time with this tour!

Can you pick up and drop off from a hotel in Long Island.
What is the price for 2 adults and 2 young kids ages 7 & 3?

The cost varies depending on the length of tour you choose. Our tour was for 4 hours and the cost was approximately $800 - we received a discount. The price included a driver and Sheldon, who was the narrator. We had 2 people but I seem to recall the price was the same for up to 6 people. Sheldon is very easy to talk with about everything, including price- I recommend you contact him to get specific info.

Hi JJ2Sail
Sorry, I had not seen your question until tonight (8/27/18) - Not sure if it is too late for my answer - but YES, we can pick you up in Jersey City. Are you arriving on a Cruise Ship ?
It would be far easier to communicate though text or email, or you can certainly call me directly.
