Thank you once again,"

Eileen & Jack

"We had a great time and it was the best I could of asked for. Jerry was the greatest and when we come back we want him again. We saw everything and the history was fantastic. You are great and Jerry was perfect. See you again very soon."

"We had an absolutely wonderful time with Jerry and would be honored to be in your testimonial page. I would highly recommend your tours for anyone visiting the area. Jerry was great and my daughter still talks about him."

"Hi Stephanie

Wanted to let you know that the tour was fantastic. My parents loved it and they really enjoyed John. This was the perfect tour for them as they got to see more of New York than they ever would on their own and the pace was just right for them. John was probably bored ;) but he was very entertaining and super knowledgeable. We will definitely recommend your tour any chance we have."

Cheers,
Alison

"Hi Stephanie,

Mark and his group absolutely loved the tour and the guide. They thought the guide was fabulous. Flexible, great at what he does and very informative. The restaurants - both of which were perfect he was really pleased. I must say we would recommend you anytime and will as a matter of fact, we are planning another trip to New York for Mark and another customer the last part of September and as soon as I have the dates I will contact you. Thank you so much for all your help, it is really appreciated. And I will be sure to recommend you."

"Hi Stephanie,

Just a quick mail to let you know that we loved the tour we had with Jerry :)
We had an wonderful day :) "

"Hi Stephanie,

Our final thank you! We almost died last night at Smith and Wollensky! Both service and food were out of this world! We loved Felidia's today for lunch as well - and a special thank you for our additional treat!

I really can't find the words to thank you for all your help and advice - the restaurant recommendations alone were worth a million. We loved the tour and fell in love with New York City as well. I'm insisting that we come back next year.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!"

"Thank you Stephanie! We just got home last night and had an incredible trip! We loved our tour with Jamie...he is wonderful. We can't wait to come back again.

Thanks again, we had a great time!"

"Stephanie,

I wanted to thank you and especially to John for a great time while we were in NYC. I was hesitant that the 6 hour tour would have been too much time, but as it turned out, and John later stated, we only scratched the surface of what New York had to offer. The kids had a great time at the candy store, Dylan's, one we never would have found on our own, and going to the Conservatory Water/Alice in Wonderland statue in central park. John especially dispelled any Hollywood myths and misconceptions/stereotypes of New York that seem to be attached to it. Showed us great neighborhoods in Harlem to Brooklyn Heights. We've already decided that the next time we get back to New York, we want to do it again because it turned out to be well worth it. Thank you again for a wonderful and insightful time. Wishing you both continued success,"

“Stephanie,

 

I just got off the phone with Trip. He just kept going on and on and on about how wonderful John was and what a great time they all had! Thank you so much setting them up with him. Please tell John how much they raved about their time with him.

 

I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate your help with this. They really had a day they will never forget.

Hopefully, the next time I will get to come too!! ;)
We'll be sure to give you a call.

Thanks again Stephanie. It's not easy to plan something like this from so far away. You made it possible."

 

"Dear Stephanie and Jerry,

 

I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work and personal support that made our very complicated trip a fabulous, super trip!! You two people are the kindest, most caring and greatest people I have met in a long time. You seemed like friends we where visiting, surely not a tour group!

 

Thank you so much, we had the best time in your town and I can't wait to return. Thank you with all my heart!"

“Stephanie,

Well we have returned home, and we wanted to get this email out to you before we get back into the hustle & bustle of the real life of working.

 

Our trip was one we will talk about for sometime. We both agree, we want to make another trip again some day. The best part of our week that we spent in the beautiful city of New York was with the tour we received from "My Kind of Town" New York Tours.

 

We will be telling all of our family & friends about the tour we had. Our driver (Jerry) is the bomb!! He makes it such a wonderful adventure. So to you both Stephanie & Jerry, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful tour, and seeing that it was all about us and what we wanted."

“Good Morning:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you, James and Jerry for making our trip last Thursday a success. The precise itinerary of our Tour incorporated exactly what my family wanted to do, to include my 15 year old daughter.  I’m very impressed with your services and look forward to telling my friends and business associates about My Kind Of Town.

I look forward to working with you again in the future."

"Dear James and John,

It's the AlARai family from UAE and we just wanted to say thanks for the tour. I haven't had a chance to e-mail yet. We're overlooking beautiful Cornell U right now in Ithaca.

We loved the tour and saw things we wouldn't see otherwise on any other tour of New York.

Thanks alot and John you were great!"

" Dear Stephanie and John,

I thought I would write a quick email to say how wonderful our 4 hour trip with you around lower Manhattan was last week.

We were both a little apprehensive about taking a "private tour" but John soon made us feel as ease. I think you even enjoyed our humor at times too! Glen thought the tour was amazing too, so it turned out to be a great birthday present.

The tour itself could not have been more comprehensive and I’m still surprised that we saw so much over the 4 hours. The highlights for me were driving over Brooklyn Bridge (woo-hoo!), Tudor city and Greenwich Village/Meat-Packing district.

Throughout our week in New York we took you up on many of your bar/restaurant recommendations. We sampled the delights of "the spotted pig" and "Johns Pizza" - both were fantastic. (No sign of Leo though!!)

Another highlight of the trip was getting engaged! Glen popped the question after the tour with yourselves, whilst in Rosa Mexicana. Of course I said yes and so we had Glen’s birthday and our engagement to celebrate!

Once again thanks for a great tour. It really helped us to get a feel for the city, to get an idea of places we wanted to go back to, as well as sussing out the layout of the city and how to use the subway!!

I'll definitely recommend you to friends and family,

Thanks Again"

"Our tour was unbelievable. James was the BEST. He's like a living history book for New York City. I would tell anyone planning to visit or tour NYC to call him to book a tour.

James is a very friendly person, who makes you and your group feel so comfortable. Our tour consisted of 7 people, ages 73 to 9 and everyone had a GREAT time. He actually taught us things we really didn't know and the children are still talking about things they saw. We had our own agenda of things we wanted to see and when we finished doing that James had so much more to show us. The tour took us into the night, he showed us sights during the daylight and then showed us some of those same sights in the evening. Awesome!!! You need to understand that we live in the state of New York and James showed us things we didn't expect to see.

Months have gone by since we had our tour and now I call him when I go to the city and he still tells me where to go to have a good meal or answer any question I have about my trips. You couldn't get to know a better person if you really want to get to know NYC."

"Hi Stephanie,
Just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the incredible tour. Please pass along our thanks to Jerry.

We were able to visit SO much in such a compact amount of time. I read over and over on the website testimonials that customers were able to see more on the tour than they possibly could have seen on their own during their stay. Let me just go a little bit further and tell you that I had one friend tell me we saw more on the tour than she has seen in 10 visits to New York. A native New Yorker told us that we went to places he didn't even know about. This tour was worth every penny. We traveled in style, we were safe, we had a personal tour that allowed us to see only what we were interested in. Jerry let us take our time and was happy to do what we wanted to do.

Beyond that, we had a little personal drama back home that we had to deal with via cell phone while on the tour. Jerry was courteous enough to let us have our personal moments to handle the situation, but was engaged enough in the tour to pick right up where he left off each time he had to pause for us. I'm just not sure I could have had that level of service on a tour bus, etc.

I wouldn't change a thing about what you guys are doing... Next time we're in New York, we'll see you again."

Best regards, Rita Barnes

"Hi James,
Thanks so much for making New York...Our Kind of Town for our entire group. You were super fantastic and we recommend you to everyone we talk to about our trip. Hope to see you again when we visit New York in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks a bunch!"

Stacie Chriske, AFLAC TENNESSEE-EAST

"Dear James, I just wanted to tell you how much my family enjoyed our tour with John. In our group, we had a few people that had been to New York before and some people new to the city. John taught all of us things about the city.

He was such a special tour guide, he kept the attention and interest of a bus load of women and one man ranging from eighty to fifteen and was able to point out all the parts of the town that everyone would enjoy. He went beyond the call of duty by helping us select the restaurants locals go to for our trip. My whole family would recommend John to anyone who was interested in a New York City tour."

Thank you so much, The Marcello Crew.

"Merry Christmas (oops we are behind in wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!) When we got your e-mail we wanted to jump on a plane and spend Thanksgiving in New York with you! We enjoyed our trip and can't wait to spend more time in the Big Apple with you. You are wonderful, you made us feel like we had been on vacation with a wonderful relative! Have a wonderful Christmas Cousin Jimmy, we hope to see you again soon! xoxo"

Martha, Tony, Adriana and Carina Piazza, San Jose, CA

"After seeing the Red Bus tour that would have been my site seeing fate, I'm glad I took a chance on James and his My Kind of Town New York Tour. I had the best time and didn't get caught in the usual tourist traps. James was able to show me around in a very personalized and informational way. He was also helpful in taking my picture in front of the sites. What's more, he was able to clue me in on the shopping hot spots. Thanks James!"

Robin Hart, North Carolina

"Hey James. Just wanted to let you know we are back in Kentucky. We had a wonderful time on your tour and I have recommended it as a "must" to several people. We hope to get back in May when it's a little warmer."

Jeanne Kentucky

"I just wanted to let you know how awesome it was to spend the day with you and your intense knowledge of NYC!!! It was an experience that Josh and myself will never forget. Thank you for making our time together so memorable."

Susan C. Daniel, Greensboro, NC

"Hi James! - We had a great time in the limo and we also gave your name to another Ca. Grp. at our hotel.I want to go back to New York and really hope that you are there, too!. I think that the girls regretted that we didn't engage you longer, and they all raved about it to everyone. We had a fabulous time at the Empire State Bldg. Clear and sunny!! It was the first time I felt sun on my face and it felt bright and beautiful.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed meeting you, and you made the tour very interesting. Your passion for your work and friendliness comes through with every verbal description.

Thank you again, and God bless you and all the friendly New Yorkers that we met."

Sharon O, Southern California
