Definitely worth the money and time! - We are so pleased we decided on this tour! The small van made it more personalized. The glass ceiling made it easy to see everything. Even though it rained, they were prepared and had ponchos for us. Gil, our guide, was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Worth the money and time.

Great private tour for 5 - We had a private 6 hour tour last weekend, from start to finish the communication was great, making adjustments for timings and collection points to fit in with where we were staying, and what we wanted to see. Our tour guide reached out to us before to find out what we were interested in and what was not so important so we could get the most out of our trip. The vehicle was spacious and spotlessly clean. Our tour guide Rachel was very knowledgable, and pointed us out the best picture spots! I haven't ever done a tour before however this definitely changed my mind and I will be doing them on future trips! If you want to learn about the history of New York whilst also seeing many of the great places, I would 100% recommend.

Taste of NYC in a day - We got a taste of NYC. I loved seeing places that I hear about all the time. Now I can picture it. Our Tour guide Dana and driver Miquel were just wonderful. Dana is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I loved going on the ferry, seeing Central Park, seeing Time Square, taking our picture with the Bull, seeing 911 Memorial. All of it was so interesting. How Miquel can stay come and drive in that traffic is amazing. He did a fantastic job all day. We were a group of 10 and we arranged to be picked up at our hotel and dropped back off there. Pedro was awesome to work with. We even booked a last minute ride to the cruise ship terminal with him and he went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you all for such a fantastic memorable day.

Amazing Custom Tour for Our 11 year old Future Architect/Engineer - Our family was planning a trip to NYC and we wanted to show our 11 year old son, who is fascinated with skyscrapers, architecture, and impossible engineering, all of the great sites and incredible buildings/structures that NYC has to offer. So we contacted Pedro from USA Guided Tours and described what we were looking for a highly customized tour for our son. Pedro put us in contact with Debbie who would be our tour guide and immediately we knew we were in good hands. We gave Debbie a list of the sites that we knew we would not want to miss and she provided us with additional recommendations, all of which we added to the tour. On the morning of the 6 hour tour (Jan 1, 2023), the sleek Mercedes tour van from USA Guided Tours pulled up, we got in, and off we went! The tour van was great; spacious, tall windows, made it easy to see all of the sites on both sides of the van with near 360 degree precision. Debbie was AMAZING!! She was so professional, so friendly, so informative, and so enthusiastic. She clearly loves NYC and her excitement was contagious. She had clearly spent a lot of time fine-tuning the tour route and site destinations and customizing it for our son and for all of us. Debbie was like a walking encyclopedia of information; her style kept you engaged, amused, and fascinated. Beyond just showing us each site, she provided detailed background information about architecture and history along with amusing anecdotes and stories. She also carried with her an iPad to show images that were linked to the stories and sites. We learned so much about NYC and got to experience and get to know/relearn both the old New York (e.g. Chrysler Building, Flat Iron Building, Woolworth Building, Brooklyn Bridge) and also the new New York (e.g. Hudson Yards, Billionaire's row, new World Trade Center buildings). She was great at keeping our son engaged for the entire 6 hour tour and was willing to make changes to the tour on the spot. She was also great at making additional recommendations on the spot as well, all while keeping the tour on time. We were able to make numerous stops along the tour, including extended stops at the Brooklyn Bridge (to walk across it), the new World Trade Center buildings and 9/11 memorial, visit Alexander Hamilton's gravesite, get a closer look of Billionaire's Row, and examine the architecture of many buildings up close (e.g. we now have a new appreciation for the unique art deco architecture of the Chrysler Building and will never be able to look at it in the same way again). Toward the end of the tour while we approached our final destination, you would think that Debbie would wind down as well. But she did the opposite, energetically telling us about the exciting new buildings along High Line Park and Hudson Yards. She was like the Energizer Bunny and we were so grateful to have had her. We learned and saw so much during those 6 hours, so much that we are still processing the info 5 days later. Debbie and Pedro delivered an amazing tour that we will never forget and that was well beyond our expectations!
