Overall this experience was very good, first time to NYC for my honeymoon. Wife had been before. Limo was right on time, 10 mins early in fact, driver was friendly and bottle of champagne waiting for us on limo. Trip around Manhattan and through Times Square was beautiful and he waited for us as we had dinner at The View. Dinner was lovely, apart from the fact they never received our booking on their end which at the start was a bit of chaos but it all worked out. Food was really nice. They also brought an extra dessert as we were on honeymoon which was nice of them. Lastly as we were dropped to hotel i went to tip the driver and then he told me I also had to pay him $40 For the champagne, which was ok, but seemed sprung on me. Maybe going forward they can include this on the booking to avoid further confusion.

If I could give this tour 6 stars, I would! John is the ultimate Brooklyn tour guide; he is passionate about the many neighborhoods, passionate about biking, and is constantly making you laugh with his anecdotes. John took us through many neighborhoods to main attractions and off the beaten path; he has a deep understanding of the architecture and history of all of the places we went and shares his knowledge in a fun way that isn’t formulaic. John left us with many recommendations and ideas of what to do when we come back to visit. As stated in other reviews, John tailors each tour to the crowd to ensure the best experience. I will definitely be doing John’s water front ride down to Coney Island next time I visit! If you are on the fence about this tour, I encourage you to take the dive; you will have a blast and see and learn things that would be impossible without a local.

HORRIBLE!! THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!!! BEWARE! DO NOT BOOK! My daughters and I traveled to NY to take the 5 borough trip. We were told to meet outside of the Hyatt Hotel. The bus never showed and the tour company could not reach Amigo Tours!! Amigo Tours is not reputable, and,are scam artists. Any company that doesn't have a working contact number is ridiculous!! I am an attorney and will be taking legal action against this company!! Once we are refunded the money from the company we booked through, I will be filing a class action consumer suit against Amigo Tours!! You scammed the wrong Lawyer!!!!
