TEP deserves more than 5 stars for the amazing start to finish service we experienced on our 7 day…read moreadventure to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

We booked our private 30-person ski trip to Windham through Jason at NYMT and I can honestly say I…read moredon't think I'll ever look anywhere else when planning a group day trip out of NYC. As coordinator and tour guide, Jason was quick, courteous, and knowledgeable. His connections at various local ski resorts combined with his relationship with the bus company brought our prices down to less than what I would have paid had I booked it separately. But it was his services that I found to be absolutely essential to the efficiency of the operation, which included the booking of the bus & driver, ordering & distributing tickets, escorting our group through the rental process, and helping beginners get to their lessons. Without him, our day trip would have been way more stressful on me and nowhere near as fun for the group. So, do your homework, gather your prices, call the group booking desk at Hunter or Windham, and contact local buses for hire... But then do yourself a favor and call New York Mountain Tours. You'll save money, headaches, and time, and your group will think you're the hero!

We bought 10 tickets about a week before our trip. The day of the trip as we waited for the bus, they told us that there was no more room for us and that the bus was full, mind you we had already paid for our tickets a week before!! The owner/manager Dean was not helpful or apologetic at all! They oversold their tickets and left us literally hanging. We demanded for them to refund our money immediately and Thank goodness that they did. WORST BUS COMPANY EVERRRRRRRR!!!!!

We ended up taking what we thought was Uber but what was a Mexican car service and it cost 6 people $42. I saw the owner Dean when we were getting in the taxi and told him that he should be picking up the cab fee. All he could do was laugh in my face and say no sale. this is how Funaway aka Sterling operates their bus service to Atlantic City. Oh and by the way For no reason at all Denise the woman who sells rockets had an attitude when I got on the bus at 179th street and told Ron the bus driver that I was a bitch and giving her a hard time because I questioned the fact that they made everyone pay for a cab after they bought their bus tickets and then had to leave Burger King in Yonkers by cab to get the bus at 179th street to go to ac. Is this any way to run a business? Shame on you Dean, the owner of Funaway bus Shame on yo Denise fit your attitude problem. You took away all the fun of being able to take a bus to AC. Oh and by the way had a broken seat on the bus and there was nowhere else for me to sit. They only have 2 buses W

The Street Teacher, Bill Goodhart, was exceptionally well-prepared for presenting current and historical facts about The Village, including significant events, unique architecture, famous residents and side bar items of interest. Bill's love of New York City and his unique "feel for place" made this tour a memorable experience for all of us. I highly recommend The Street Teacher for corporate functions and family outings alike. Bill's articulate, very well-educated style and wry sense of humor really humanized the tour and made everyone comfortable. He was very accessible to our questions and stimulated conversation among us. He ensured that he knew the "audience" in advance by prepping with me and even followed-up post-tour to ensure that we were satisfied, which we were. It actually exceeded our expectations. This is was a five-star experience which I plan on doing again with Bill in another area of NYC!
