I enjoyed this tour, the guide was knowledgeable and personable. The weather was good for walking and you see that "Big Apple" is not that big.

This was the perfect way to round out a wintertime trip to New York. James is an expert at navigating the crowds around Rockefeller Center, and shared the history of the area in a fun and engaging way. I definitely recommend this tour!

We had a large group -- 10 -- ranging in age from 6-81. We were prepared for a lot of walking and for the cold. The tour was good but not great. It did not exactly match the description and was more of a history tour of New York than a focus on the holiday stuff (I did not particularly care to go down diamond alley and hear about Adam Sandler's new movie.). The main thing I wanted to see with the kids was the Saks display and we did not stop there. Granted, the city was mobbed and that is not the tour's fault. I also thought that the tour ended where we started and it ended at Macy's. I should have asked so be aware that you have to figure out the parking situation.Daryl_B
