Recently, my partner's family visited us and we decided to take them all on an OnBoard tour. Our tour guide and driver were both great. In all honesty, this was not an easy group--one 78 year man who has problems walking, my sister in law (who was not feeling well), her fiance, my partner, and myself. But, everyone had a... more

Great tour for everyone who has a limited time to spend in New York and wants to see as much as possible. The itinerary is very comprehensive. The bus is a good size (capacity of about 30 passengers). Our tour guide Tom is excellent and shares a lot of great NY trivia such as what movie a landmark was featured... more

Took the 5 1/2 (actually 6) hour tour at 10 am Aug 27 with Melvin, our driver, and Laurie, our guide. Both couldn't have been better. Give Melvin credit for navigating the streets of NYC and getting us everywhere on time. Laurie had a ton of info and stories and managed to keep everyone together and entertained. My 23 year... more

My mother and I bookd OnBoard's 5 1/2 hour New York Tour on August 16. This beats the double decker hop on hop off buses any day. The buses are smaller (not crowded like the double deckers) and extremely comfortable. They also provide cold bottled water at all times. The tour guide was terrific and got off with us at... more

We were about to sign up for a double decker red bus tour but saw that this was highly rated on TripAdvisor so switched. A great choice - having the tour guide walk around with you in small groups is really the way to see NYC. Do this early in your NYC visit so you can decide what you want... more

A good tour. Its a stop and snap a picture tour. We did the five hour tour. The guide was informative and pleasant. If you have limited time its a good way to see new yorks greatest hits. more

Twilight tour was okay, but guide did not wait for the group to form at the sites before talking, stops seemed rushed, free water was there, but never offered -- several people finally asked if they could take one. If you weren't standing next to the guide, most times you missed whatever she had to say, as you couldn't hear... more

This excellent tour should be taken as one of your first activities on your visit to NYC. The trip will give you a good feel of many of the main areas of the city and probably knock out some of the items on your 'to do' list. Our tour guide and driver, Shawn and Linwood, were funny, friendly and personable.... more

This was our first trip to NYC, so we wanted to take a tour, and see all the stuff we had heard about , read about, seen on TV and movies, etc. We booked with OnBoard, mostly because of the small groups, and the idea that when you stop and get out at various places your tour guide comes with... more

We took the OnBoard Tour in NYC on July 19th. I found it through TripAdvisor after reading not-so-great reviews of the other bus tours and glowing reviews of OnBoard. I’m so glad I checked TripAdvisor! This was a fun, informative 5 ½ hour that covered Midtown Manhattan up through part of Central Park and then Downtown to the Staten Island... more
