Back in Time - Toured Manhattan in a fully restored 1920s Ford Model T. Omar was my guide and he was full of knowledge on NYC. The car looked so good and he was in character that it was definitely a show stopper. The amount of looks from people giving thumbs up and taking pictures of us was definitely an exciting experience. Tour was so good and at $45 was definitely a steal. I tried to book again to see Times Square at night, but all the slots had filled up quickly. I would definitely recommend this.

Awesome!!! - Tim was our guide for the afternoon. He was very knowledgable! One of the best things was how many people LOVED the car....asking to touch it & take pictures with it. Everywhere we went people were excited. It was a great way to see the city and to learn some of the little known details of the city. Tim even made recommendations for restaurants and other things to see. Well worth the money!

Brilliant! - We loved this so much we did one trip mid-town and one down-town. Beautiful car, on time, saw all the main sites in the areas. Our driver Tim was ex NYPD. He was knowledgeably and friendly - and we taught him some English expressions!

Monty - There car was awesome and gets a lot of attention. I really enjoy the tour. Timothy, our guide was very knowledgeable about the city, and we learned a lot of good history. This is a cool concept. If you're into the history of New York I would recommend.

Nice tour, company is not very organized - Mixed experience. The tour was actually really good and the tour guide was pretty good about answering questions. You t was fun to ride around in the classic car and have a private tour! The “bad” was that the car was very, very late arriving! The company handled it pretty badly because they didn’t call me until it was time for the tour and we were already there waiting. First, it was a one hour delay, and then it became “any minute now.” All told, the car was almost 2h late. I understand that things happen but be honest with me. If it’s going to be 2h, then say 2h. Don’t string me along.

Not as advertised - The tour was okay because we could not really see some of the things we thought we would see such as the One World Trade...we saw it between buildings. The tour is advertised as stops..there are no stops! Our driver was knowledgeable. Also advertised as an hour and we were only 45 minutes but likely would take 60 minutes in traffic.

Car was cool but tour was 45 minutes late with no warning - The car itself was cool but the scheduling was very disorganized - there was a lot of confusion and going back and forth after we booked it, and then the driver was still sent to the wrong location, so he ended up being 45 minutes late. We didn't get any notice from the company, and we were standing outside the meeting spot in the cold that whole time. When we called after 15 minutes and then 25, all they said was that he was almost there. The driver was nice and offered us an extra hour to make up for it, but we had dinner reservations so we couldn't. We also noticed that he was on his phone a lot during the drive and at times driving quite recklessly.

THEY DON’T SHOW UP - Our ride never showed up. We were told they were running about 10 minutes late. 30 minutes after scheduled start time we called and told them to forget it as we would now be late for our evening event.
