We had one full day in NYC over Spring Break. I reached out to Custom & Private Tours NYC and spoke with Cliff. I told him what we were looking for and he listened and provided an amazing private tour of Manhattan! Our family was extremely pleased! Thank you Cliff!

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Cliff! Our granddaughter is interested in attending NYU and was touring the city for the first time. Cliff not only showed us all the usual highlights but also made sure to include specifics on how to get around the city, navigate the subway, as well as low cost/no cost entertainment options for undergrads! He also showed her where to find THE BEST PIZZA in the city! Thanks again for everything, Cliff!

Great fun first exposure to NYC. Was like touring with a family friend. Thoughtful and continued to try and make the tour and trip great EVEN AFTER the tour. Mixed family, many first time New York City visitors, some from as far away as Alaska. Used it as our first full day get a taste of the city and used it to help plan the rest. His stories, quirkiness, and knowledge maybe it way better than a sit on a bus tour. Best way to tour NYC...legend has it :) My wife it also mobility impaired and he was able to adjust and let her see lots. I liked the quirky out of the way stuff (ie the tiny locksmith shop), 14 year old liked the candy store, father in law liked the architecture... and on. His suggestion for a photo stop was the 2nd best picture we took on the trip. Finally he is/was an amazing photographer and his pictures are beautiful and his book is funny (wish I read it BEFORE the tour :)

Best tour guide EVER!!!! Cliff knows every little detail about NY. Me and my 14yo son had the best trip to New York because of him. Learned so many things about the city. Amazing guy all around. Picked us up right from hotel, very private and comfortable ride all around town. Thanks Cliff for making this trip so special for me and Mason.

We visited NYC for my daughter’s 16th birthday and kicked off the first day with a 4 hour tour around NYC. It was the perfect start to our trip and we all had the best time with Cliff. I would highly recommend that you have him show you around the city. I look forward to seeing the sites with him again real soon.

Cliff gave this first time visitor a fun and knowledgable tour of NYC. Our group visited many tourist sites where Cliff provided us with his humorous and historical insights of the place he calls home. He is passionate about NYC, sharing with us his stories, his photos and his memories. I would highly recommend Cliff's tour and it gave our group a rounded and insightful look at NYC.

We were a group of 5 spending a week in New York City together. It was planned as a special trip - we had all worked together for many years. Cliff did a private tour for us and it was amazing. Cliff was incredible - we really wanted authenticity, and he has spent his life in Manhattan. It showed. His knowledge of the area, the sights, the sites, the highlights, the history...it was fantastic. I loved that he was flexible and we could change things up as the day went on. He got us access to things we wouldn't have even known about. And the stories...this is no "tourist event" - Cliff is authentic. Our driver, Jose, was amazing as well - how he navigated the city was something to see. I would so highly recommend Cliff and his company that I will absolutely book him again even if I just go back with 1 other person. A+++

This was My first visit to the exciting city . On my tour of NYC we were provided with the most amazing, fulfilling experiences the city had to offer. We say all the highlights and experienced a lot of laughs and jokes. Cliff the tour Gide made the whole 6 hours a delight. I would recommend him to do your tour of this fine city and all it has to offer. Accompanied by his driver Jose who was full of knowledge and easy pathways around the city. The two of them worked hand in hand making this the best day in NYC. Five stars all the way. Tim Halladay Delta Ontario
