Does anyone have any experience with either of these tour companies?

Thanks.

I have been on the Marvelous Manhattan/King of NYC tour. It was great and would recommend it. Here is a link to my trip report for more details:

Marvelous Manhattan seems to be more dependable from what I've read and they do not include the free ride on the Staten Island ferry which you can easily do yourself at your leisure.

I agree with MichelleY as I did this tour last month. I did the full day tour ( you can also do a half day tour). As it is usually a small group, it feels more personal and the tour guide gives lots of information re each place you are visiting and the history behind it. You will not be disappointed with this tour. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I think we will go with Marvelous Manhattan tours.
