OnBoard New York Tours

Worst tour ever!

by anusser at Citysearch

Tour was overpriced and overhyped. Customer service was terrible. I enjoy taking city tours in every city I visit and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had. It darkened our overall visit and impression of New York City. We may never return, which is unfortunate, because prior to this trip, NYC was my favorite city to visit!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Everything

Fantastic Tour!

by cinderelochka at Citysearch

This past Tuesday August 4, at 3pm, my colleague and I stepped on

board for the "See it All" Manhattan tour. We were more than

pleasantly surprised to say the least. First off, to start the

afternoon our tour guide Tyler was not only incredibly knowledgeable

of Manhattan, but outgoing, hilarious, and always smiling. He

introduced himself, and began the tour taking us to every place as

promised, from the website.

During each stop, we were given plenty of time for excellent photo

opportunities of the best quirky spots to snap a picture in Manhattan,

as well as constant information and facts pertaining to the history of

re-enactment of a personal story from history of each place. Tyler,

our guide, kept track of us and made sure that everyone was included

with his friendly manner and professionalism. As the tour group is

small, everyone has a chance to participate, ask questions, hear the

tour guide, and step around freely without the annoyance of a large

group of people also around trying to get to see the same places at

the same time.

Now, though I am originally from Russia, I have spent several years

now splitting time in Brooklyn and L.A, and have been on several

different tours-here in Manhattan- I must say that OnBoard Tours NYC

is by far the best experience I have had. And bringing my friend onto

this one to show him around NYC was the absolute best choice I could

have made.

Not only did I learn more about Manhattan than I ever knew before, but

I had such an enjoyable time learning it from our fantastic tour guide

Tyler, and I would definitely recommend it any day of the week to

anyone visiting New York. Whether you have one day, or you are a new

resident to New York- I truly recommend OnBoard Tours!

Great Find

My family and I went on this tour the week of February vacation. Trying to keep 2 kids, 16 and 17 interested for 5 1/2 hour is tough but Tom was able to keep all of us involved and interested. I have been on the big bus tours before and they just can't compete with this small tour. The knowledge that our guide Tom had was the best. If you are looking for a tour of the city that gives you the real feel of the people that live here, do yourself a favor and take this tour. They have water and soda during the tour. As for Tom as your guide and you won't be disappointed.

• Pros: Tom
• Cons: no bathrooms on the bus
