Viator is the worst

The whole experience from booking the tickets to the tour itself. I was so unhappy with it! The tour guide was completely unaware of crowds and we could barely move she kept leaving everyone and no microphone we couldn’t hear her at all

Hi Meghan, Unfortunately we have no control over the booking process. If Viator is such a terrible company than don’t use them in the future. That being said, you are not leaving a review for Viator but a separate entity. According to our records you took a Holiday tour in a Saturday. Unless you’re completely oblivious you should have known there would be crowds. Our guide did not leave anyone behind. All of our guides carry flags making themselves extremely visible to the group, but for those that choose to ignore instructions that’s one them. If you couldn’t hear..than you should have said something, we’re not mind readers. Some guides choose not to use mikes because they often do not work properly. If you’re hard if hearing we suggest you let future guides know so they can situate you closer to them or speak louder. It sounds like you’re not really the type of person who should be be taking tours as you cannot appreciate the experience with a highly rated guide and company and might be better off doing things solo.

Our tour guide was wonderful and had plenty of isight into the history and goings-on of the area. She provided lots of information, tips, and photo suggestions. This was a great way to see the area, take in the good sights, and not feel overwhelmed trying to see it all. A wonderful tour and great guide.

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.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. But, it wasn't really a Christmas tour. It was more like a NYC history tour. We were disappointed because we were expecting more of a Christmas-y tour.

Enjoyable brisk winter evening walk. Even though it was cold (and a times a bit crowded) we really liked the information, both regional and historical, about the buildings, architecture, and cultures from Rockefeller Center to the Empire State Building. Hannah has got to be the best guide! Can't recommend this walking tour or our guide enough!! Be sure to wear clothing appropriate to the weather! It will make your evening much more enjoyable.

We had the guide, Nicole, to ourselves. Everyone else scheduled had cancelled because it was so cold. She was great with the locations we visited including a wealth of information about the locations and areas that we visited. It was extremely crowded in the city and she did a great job keeping out of the worst of the crowds. The tour was exactly as described.

Jason W
, Dec 2017
Sean was our guide, really nice bloke, very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He took us round all the nice places and it was a really fun experience. I would like to make a suggestion - rather than start with the Rockefeller Centre - I would end with it. The tour was nice, but nothing could surpass them afterwards. If you started at Macy's and worked your way towards them, I think it would work out much better. But its a minor thing - really nice experience.

Our tour guide was Nicole, she was awesome. She was very knowledgeable about where we were going and little things you wouldn't even think to ask. she was very nice and helped me and my mother he was in a motorized scooter navigate the tour by always finding a ramp or handicapped entrance for her to follow so we never missed a beat. I would recommend this tour to any of my friends who come to New York and tell them to ask for Nicole.

Our tour guide Sean was phenomenal. He had an expert knowledge of each and every stop and then some!. The tour was extensive and very thorough, really giving you the context of the historical sites. We departed the tour feeling very satisfied and that much more in tune with such an iconic city. Well worth the time, money and potentially chilly conditions!
