Great private tour
Apr. 2022 • Couples
My parents wanted to see all the sights of New York. They are Asian and elderly, so I was concerned for their ability to navigate and their overall safety.

I was so glad I went with Family in New York for a private tour! They loved their trip, and it is thanks to the two tour guides they had. I think that overall it is a great value and highly recommend them!

The only NYC tour you’ll ever need!!!!
Mar. 2022 • Family
This was the best tour hands-down! I felt as though we got our monies worth - plus some. This was our familes first time visiting NYC, as well as, hiring a private tour guide. I was a little anxious, as I didn’t know what to expect, but all of that was squashed upon meeting Ronald. He was friendly, attentive, and super knowledgeable about NYC. We felt as if we truly got to see everything and more and even places that were not listed on the itinerary, as he will customize the tour based on your interests. We were never bored or uncomfortable. Our 13 y/o daughter throughly enjoyed Ronald’s fun facts and historical references at all the sites. The tour lasted the perfect amount of time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to say that they visited and seen what NYC has to offer!!!!

New York in 2 days
Dec. 2021
Our family of 5 went to NYC for 2 days and wanted to see everything we could! Scott provided a tour that was perfect for this! He was very knowledgable about the places we visited, gave good suggestions about where to eat, and tailored our tour for the needs of our groups. He even gave us very helpful advice about how to navigate the city for the other parts of our trip. He was personable and friendly and felt like we were visiting the city with a friend. We would highly recommend his tours!

Amazing!!! 5 stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
May 2021 • Family
Our tour was absolutely wonderful!!!! Scott, our tour guide, met us at our arrival location and took us to each site by foot and subway which was absolutely great as it took away the intimidation of trying to navigate the city alone as semi-newcomers and was very knowledgeable and insightful about the history of everything we saw! He also took wonderful pics of our family, gave great recommendations for restaurant choices, made enough time in our schedule to see things that were not apart of our original tour plan and he even made sure that we got to our seperate boat tour in a timely manner to purchase our tickets before they sold out! Scott was wonderful and we were happy to have him host us! Highly recommend this tour for those that want to tailor it more to their specific interests!

Wonderful tour - best way to navigate NYC
Jun. 2019 • Family
Our family of four (including our two daughters, 7 & 9) did a five hour tour by foot and subway. Our guide Tammy was fantastic. She took us everywhere on our list and more. She also knew where to get good food, which we could really appreciate. And we also took a couple breaks at playgrounds in parks along the way to give our kiddos some time to play. Bottom line - we could not have seen so much of the city without doing this tour. It was comforting to have an expert guide us. I feel like I know a lot more about Manhattan and how the city is laid out now. It’s a great tour to take on your first day so you can decide what to explore more in depth on your own later!

Ideal at the start of your stay
We booked this tour for our first day in New York. Tammi was great and took us to the places we wanted to see. She showed us how to use the subway and had lots of local knowledge. A great tour if you are short of time or want to get your New York bearings.

Scott was excellent as tour guide.
Engaging and informative.
We chose a day which was cold, frosty and then fairly heavy snow but managed to cover an extensive area on our 9 hour tour.
Recommended.
