We were lucky enough to experience an almost private tour with our guide Millie. The tour is like an "untold secret" and in my opinion is worth every cent. Millie took us to the best photo spots in the Manhattan/New Jersey region and, believe it or not, she was even able to postpone the rain shower until the end of the tour. It was simply perfect and Millie managed it all despite the absolute traffic chaos in New York with what felt like 1,000 construction sites. I can only recommend this tour to anyone who wants to capture views of Lady Liberty and Manhattan in postcard perfection.

My wife and I absolutely loved this tour. After visiting so many busy tourist sites during our trip to New York, it was great to walk around and relax (Greg was very flexible according to our interests) in a true neighborhood (we did not see any other tourists in Hoboken) with its own history, culture, and food. Go with Greg, you won’t regret it.

If there's 1 new York experience I highly suggest as a tourist, it's THIS. The views of NYC from this tour are better than what you can experience from within the city. Millie was EXCELLENT and you'll feel like you're with a friend. Skip the in city observatories and maybe even the helicopter rides but take this tour.

Daniel was friendly l, knowledgeable and showed us fantastic places to see the Skyline of New York. We had a great time. The tour was fantastic. Thank you, Daniel.

Daniel was good at letting us know what to expect at the beginning. He was nice and thorough.
