Best day! - What an amazing memory!
Will for sure do this again! Wished the car was a little bigger and that the longer tour had been offered on Viator, but AAron made it work out!

Vintage car ride is tremendous fun!!! A joy! - We had a lovely, leisurely daytime cruise in a beautiful champagne/burgundy 1936 Hudson! Our driver, Aaron Tabackman, aka Dutch, showed up on time with a smile wearing his straw boater hat, pale blue pinstripe suit and two-tone wingtip shoes in keeping with the era. The ride was comfortable and we felt like movie stars going through Times Square and other areas of New York City as many tourists admired the vintage car and waved to us. The car and the swing and big band music playing on its radio brought a smile to everyone's face. As Dutch drove, he also offered a lesson on the architecture, significant people and events of the time; we learned a lot. It was my daughter's birthday and we couldn't have thought of a better way to spend the time! The experience is like nothing you've done before.

Great views by an old awesome car - We got a really nice experience. The tour was full of knowledge for us because we hadn't met the city that well at night. Times Square views were the best. Amazed of see the city at night. Thank you Eric, You're the best!

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND EXCITING ADVENTURE - We absolutely loved our exciting tour with Tim and the 1931 Chrysler. Driving through midtown NYC in this awesome car was the best thing we ever did in this magnificent city. Tim was an excellent tour guide and told us very interesting facts about the history of the city. Thank you so much for the great hospitality! We definitely will enjoy this adventure again!

Frustrating - The trip was double booked which meant that we went 1 1/2 hour later than planned and as we were only in NY for 1 day it had an impact on our other planned events. The driver did pay for us to gave a meal as compensation. The guide was very good but, because the car was vintage and quite small I had a limited view but my wife was OK.

Very Poor - This is a scam. I waited at Ella Mozarella restaurant on 1st January 2024 from 11.50am to 12.10 and the person in charge did not turn up. I hope you can refund my money.
