What to do and see in Queens, Queens: The Best Bus Tours

March 9, 2022 Marlin Saiz

Queens is the most ethnically diverse area of its size on Earth, which means there's a little something for everyone. Chow down on Indian food, sit in on a traditional Irish pub music session, and dance the night away at a Puerto Rican nightclub, all of it located within a few subway stops. Queens is also the home of the Mets and the US Tennis Open, and the former home of the New York World's Fair, now Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, and Paramount Pictures, now the Museum of the Moving Image.

When I booked this tour I had to talk my wife into it a bit. By the end of the tour and the rest of the day it was all she could talk about. We both loved it!!Our guide was incredible and so much knowledge about this subject, area and buildings. Learned new things about the mob and laughed so much, he kept it so entertaining!! This is a must do if you are headed to NYC and best way to see Little Italy/China Town for sure.

THIS IS A SOCIALLY DISTANCED TOUR. This private guided tour takes you beyond Manhattan to Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx — the "real New York," where most tourists never venture. Hop out wherever you like! Far more than the Empire State Building, Times Square and Rockefeller Center, on this tour, you'll travel out to visit local neighborhoods, sights and markets and have lunch at a local place. Transportation is provided in the comfort of a roomy late model Toyota Sienna minivan, with capacity to accommodate up to six guests. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRIVATE DRIVING TOUR IS SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM THE CROWDED CITY SIDEWALKS, SUBWAYS AND BUSES.

Inclusions: Private tour, Driver/guide, Transport by private vehicle, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Gratuities

Excellent tour for those looking to explore the Hamptons and LI wineries. Ronald was informative, patient, more than accommodating and most important knowledgeable. Ron was also very sensitive to our concerns regarding Covid and it was obvious that his precautions were above standard. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour with Marcos! The tour was given in both Spanish and English and the amount of information that was told was unbelievable. The sites we were taken to, the organisation of the tour and the general atmosphere in the bus is to be commended. Would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

Overall this experience was very good, first time to NYC for my honeymoon. Wife had been before. Limo was right on time, 10 mins early in fact, driver was friendly and bottle of champagne waiting for us on limo. Trip around Manhattan and through Times Square was beautiful and he waited for us as we had dinner at The View. Dinner was lovely, apart from the fact they never received our booking on their end which at the start was a bit of chaos but it all worked out. Food was really nice. They also brought an extra dessert as we were on honeymoon which was nice of them. Lastly as we were dropped to hotel i went to tip the driver and then he told me I also had to pay him $40 For the champagne, which was ok, but seemed sprung on me. Maybe going forward they can include this on the booking to avoid further confusion.

I booked a tour with my mother and we had Gary as our tour guide and Boris as our driver. Both were superlative. The staff took what I wanted to see in NYC and designed a plan to see most of it. Gary's knowledge of history and movies of New York was great conversation for the tour and Boris was a perfect gentleman helping ma get in and out of the SUV.

HORRIBLE!! THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!!!!! BEWARE! DO NOT BOOK! My daughters and I traveled to NY to take the 5 borough trip. We were told to meet outside of the Hyatt Hotel. The bus never showed and the tour company could not reach Amigo Tours!! Amigo Tours is not reputable, and,are scam artists. Any company that doesn't have a working contact number is ridiculous!! I am an attorney and will be taking legal action against this company!! Once we are refunded the money from the company we booked through, I will be filing a class action consumer suit against Amigo Tours!! You scammed the wrong Lawyer!!!!
