"We had a wonderful time.  And Marcie was the best tour guide, very informative and also very safe.  She was continuously aware of how we were doing, and made sure that we didn't get split up or lost.  We had great confidence in her, and were so surprised how easy it was to navigate New York by bike.  The tour was the highlight of our three-day weekend in the Big Apple (even more fun than the Broadway play we saw).  We have been telling our friends and we we will be sure to do it again the next time we are in New York."
