The weather was very, very rainy but our tour guide (Chris) was great! He had rain ponchos for us and kept us distracted from the crummy weather with lots of interesting facts, stories and jokes. We saw SO many highlights and all really enjoyed ourselves! Would highly recommend this tour AND Chris!!!

My 13 year old daughter and I traveled to NYC. Our first full day I had this tour booked for us...IT was RAINING, NOT just a little a ton! So glad we had this experience, would definitely recommend even on a rainy day. We're we wet, yes! but we got breaks from the weather from the bus and other sites. It was great to get acclimated to the area and see some things right away! Chris was great, professional, thoughtful it was a delight.

This tour was an amazing opportunity to see NYC and the highlight of our trip. Chris Lee was a fantastic good humoured guide who shared his wealth of knowledge of his beloved NYC. The tour gave us the opportunity to get our bearing's and decide what areas we wanted to spend more time. I would highly recommend Chris and Experience First tours.
