Recently I visited NY for the first time and took 2 tours from OnBoard. One was the night & the other one was all day. For both trips Robert was my tour guide. He was the best EVER. I took 3 other tours (different companies) during my stay and he surpasses all others. There wasn't an answer he couldn't provide... more

We are not big on tours --we tend to do our own thing, ie in rome, paris, etc...Still, we were short on time and wanted to understand the whole NYC thing. This was a good way to do it. Reviews are right on point. They were professional, knew their information, and covered all the key places in actually a short... more

We booked a private tour for a family visiting us from Slovenia, most of whom spoke no English. We hired a Slovenian intepreter to accompany us (try finding one of those!), which could pose a challenge to any tour guide, but our guide Shawn, and the interpreter very quickly developed a rhythm, and the tour was perfect. Although constrained by... more

We booked this tour based upon all of the great traveler reviews. We were debating between this tour and one of the doubledecker buses, we were glad we chose this one because of the A/C. Our tour guide was Shawn, and our driver was Sergei. Shawn was energetic and a walking library of knowledge about the city...astonishing. Shawn was very... more

I had found Onboard New York tours through Tripadvisor and read quite a few really good reviews,so I decided to give them a try. I was visiting NY for the first time from Toronto with my cousin from the UK, and booked the NY See It All! tour on the phone for $60 ea. The a/c bus was on time,... more

My husband and I took the 10 a.m. 5 1/2 hr. tour June 21, 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed it. You stay on the same bus with the same people, with multiple interesting stops, including a ferry ride. It's fast paced, but you get to see all areas of the city. Our tour guide ( I think his name was Luke,... more

We arrived in NYC on a Friday afternoon and took the On Board Tours See It All tour a 5 1/2 hour overview of Manhatten. Our tour guide was Robert and he was a fountain of knowledge about NYC. What a wonderful experience. This was a perfect introduction to the city and Robert made sure we 'saw it all' including... more

All the good reviews your read about this company are true. Fact. My girlfriend and I took the 5 and half hour tour at 10am on our first full day in New York last week, and even though this was my second time visiting the city (first time on the tour) I still found the tour fantastic. The tour guide,... more

We took the 5-1/2 hour tour on Memorial Day 2008, with Shawn as our guide. I was a bit apprehensive about booking with this company just because other reviews on this site were so gushing and positive that they made me suspicious, but I finally went ahead, and I am glad that I did. We thought the tour was excellent,... more
