A 10th wedding anniversary made perfect
"For our 10th anniversary, I really wanted to blow my wife's hair back with a special gift. Having already given her the diamond anniversary band on our 5th and the Grand Cherokee on our 7th, I needed a gift even a slightly jaded wife could remember. Thanks to my well informed travel agent, we got set up with Romancing Manhattan. Upon arrival at the airport, we were met by our well dressed driver who was holding a printed name card. Only then did my wife know something was up. After being driven to Trump Towers to freshen up, we were later picked up by our black limousine. My wife was thrilled when our guide - Jason - opened the door to reveal fresh roses, shrimp cocktail and chilled champagne. The tour was incredible! Chinatown, Little Italy, the Financial District - everything! We couldn't stop talking about the tour. It was our favorite part of the entire trip! Next time in the Big Apple, treat yourself - or your spouse - to a wonderful experience. You'll never forget it."

We will never forget our visit to New York city
"One year ago today our family experienced a once in a lifetime event. Romancing Manhattan Tours toured us through your grand city. Since then we have commented on the passion that your staff exhibited when describing your city and the knowledge that they had about all aspects of the city.
This past week, we have been shocked and horrified at what has happened in your country and we have had an opportunity to once again remind ourselves of your hospitality one year ago.
I wanted you to know that we, in Canada, share your pain and we are thinking and praying for you. We will never forget our visit to New York city - and you were instrumental in making it memorable for us."

A concierge service that truly knows New York!
"My wife and I booked a six hour tour with Jason at Romancing Manhattan Tours. They also booked our hotel at the Waldorf-Astoria, made show reservations, dinner reservations, and created a complete suggested itinerary for us for our 8 day visit in Manhattan. Quite frankly, we were a little apprehensive at first about doing this over the phone without ever meeting him. When we arrived at JFK airport, Jason personally picked us up in a beautiful stretch Lincoln limousine and took us to the Waldorf-Astoria. From the moment we stepped into his limo we knew we had made the right choice. Jason was friendly, easy-going, very knowledgeable and entertaining. The 6 hour tour gave us a great grasp of Manhattan (it was our first visit) and allowed us to feel oriented for the rest of our trip. We saw 4 Broadway shows, ate in fantastic world class restaurants, toured all the attractions and shopped till we dropped. We were so impressed with the job that Jason and his staff did in helping plan our trip that mid-way we called him up and took an additional all day tour to visit the Hamptons and wineries! I would strongly recommend Romancing Manhattan to anyone who really wants to see the City and have the benefit of a concierge service that truly knows New York!"

A 25th anniversary made *extra* special
"Jason...just a quick note to let you know how much fun we had on the tour and how completely satisfied we were. Your knowledge of the city was incredible and we experienced so much of the city we could never have done on our own. In addition, please thank the limo driver for us... he was amazing. The pizza in the limo was a nice touch and something we will be talking about for a long time. The whole thing was just the perfect ending to our visit to New York and our 25th anniversary! Also, the suggestion of Gallagher's on our last night was GREAT; the meal was fantastic!

Jason excels in his personal touch
"The first time I used Jason's expertise was three years ago when my wife and I were vacationing in Manhattan from Phoenix. While I go to NYC frequently for business trips, I never make time to tour. However, since we were on vacation I wanted the best tour service available. A business associate recommended Romancing Manhattan Tours. While knowledge of the city is a core requirement for any tour operator, Jason excels in his personal touch. He made us feel special and altered the tour to meet our special requests. Two years later we brought our two children to NYC. It was a prerequisite to schedule a tour with Romancing Manhattan Tours, and we scheduled our trip around their availability. Our kids still rave about that trip as their favorite vacation and much of the thanks goes to Jason and his staff. They made them feel special. Thanks again Jason for being so good!

The family trip to New York was a wonderful success!
"Jason, Many, many thanks for your efforts in making the Rome family trip to New York a wonderful success! Jordan and Jan were very impressed with the personal tour (especially the limo) and Suzanne was especially impressed with your intimate knowledge of "the Big Apple".
Thanks also for the restaurant recommendations. They were excellent choices! For our next trip to NY, I will call and seek your advice and recommendations during the early planning stages.
If you are coming to Louisiana anytime soon, please give us a call and allow us to reciprocate your hospitality!" Thanks again.

The tour and attention you gave us was very special
Jason: Thank you once again for the great tour of NY. Betty and I really enjoyed the many sights, sounds and smells of NY. The tour and attention you gave us was very special and it allowed us to see the city from your eyes. The many places you took us to were ones that we would never have been able to see on our own, not knowing the city.
We will be looking forward in getting your business cards to pass out to all those who are going to come to NY in the future. Although we were able to get around on our own the next 2 days it was not as interesting or as relaxful as it was with you. We did enjoy the subway out to Coney Island.
Again thanks for your special care and give Michael a Hello from us. He is truly a gentleman and a great asset to your company.
Feel free to have anyone call us regarding your excellent service.

"Romancing Manhattan" made the experience perfect
"We visited New York for the first time with our two grandsons 9 and 7. "Romancing Manhattan" made the experience perfect. With the crowds, the heat and short amount of time the private limousine and guide service was just what we needed. We will hold on to our special memories forever and are spreading the word on "Romancing Manhattan".
Jason - We can't thank you enough for your fine service. You and Debbie treated the children so graciously. It was so wonderful - hope we can do it again with other family members."

You have amazed us with the way that you set everything up
"Hi Jason! Sorry we have not had the time to get back with you until now. We had a Great Time. The Mansfield Hotel was excellent. You can let them know that they did great. The dinners were good. The show was fun. The private tour was fantastic. The boat ride, the plane ride and the helicopter ride were the best. You have amazed us with the way that you set everything up. It was too bad that you did not set up the weather. We had the best get away we have ever had. You made this an unforgettable experience for us and we will be looking back at this trip for a long time. If we get the chance to go back, we would like for you to set it up for us. We will recommend you and Romancing Manhattan Tours to anyone we know going to New York City.
(separate e-mail) Once again thanks for making our trip a dream come true. You sure can use our e-mail on your website. We hope to send you business and to use you again when we take our children to New York. -- Thank you very much"

You were much more than a great service to us
"Thanks so much for the great time in New York and the tour. We all enjoyed the limo ride and your company was excellent. The picture we took did not come out real well, was very dark, but we will treasure it for a long time. We hope you had a great Christmas and hope you will have a happy new year. Thanks again and you were much more than a great service to us. We loved you and for T.C. it was a real experience. We really enjoyed the boat tour on Saturday, it was great! Thanks again.
If we ever come back in the near future or know anyone that plans a trip you will be the top of the list. Tell Michael we really enjoyed him too! Happy New Year and hope your new year is a successful one!"

The family was thrilled! The driver was terrific!
"Good Morning Jason! I just wanted to get back to you and let you know our thoughts regarding the tour. The family was thrilled! Being picked up in a white stretch limousine in front of MadisonSquareGarden is nothing that my Mom and Dad ever imagined. Unfortunately the weather was bad, Fifth Avenue and Wall Street were closed... the typical New York issues, but I think we saw as much as we could in 4 hours. Harry provided us a lot of information and the driver was terrific!!
Thanks again for all your assistance in arranging this for us and sorry we did not have an opportunity to meet."

Jason put the whole thing together and we had a perfect weekend
"I learned of Romancing Manhattan Tours while searching the internet to plan a getaway weekend to NYC. The couple joining my wife and I would leave the planning up to me. I wanted it to be special.
Jason put the whole thing together and we had a perfect weekend. The hotel was just what I asked for...small, elegant and centrally located. Romancing Manhattan's Personal Concierge Service included reservations at great restaurants for our dinners and a terrific Sunday brunch, along with a range of suggestions for shopping and night clubs, not to mention Broadway tickets to Les Miserables on Saturday night! The highlight of the weekend was the escorted stretch-limo tour of the City that included fascinating narration and a fun walk through the bustling open markets of Chinatown and Little Italy.
I would not hesitate to call Jason again for help with personal and business travel arrangements in New York City."
