LETTERS AND EMAILS FROM OUR TRAVELERS

I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I had a wonderful time on our NYCVP that you booked for us. We were in NYC from 8/11 through 8/15. It was so nice to have everything laid out for us and we didn’t run into any snags. We were able to breeze onto the Amtrak train without having to stand in any lines. The ride to NYC was comfortable and fast. We loved the Warwick Hotel. Although we arrived early, the hotel staff made us feel comfortable and they stored our luggage until check in time. We had time to take a leisurely stroll around the hotel and enjoyed lunch in a nearby Irish Pub. We took advantage of the free passes to visit the Museum of Natural History and the Empire State Building. We went downtown to the South Street Seaport and over to Ground Zero to pay our respects. The two shows were terrific, it was so nice that they were within walking distance of our hotel. Thanks again for helping us have such a nice vacation. I will definitely be in touch when we want to plan our next New York City vacation. Sincerely, PB, York PA


I guess anytime one does business on-line, there is a question as to whether you are making the right choice. I want to thank you and your company for a great time. Everything you promised was there and on time. The seats at Yankee Stadium were right in line with A-Rod's 500th home run and the tickets to Avenue Q were better than we had hoped for.

When we were told that the Yankee games included transportation to and from the game, we didn't expect a tour guide. Chris Lucas was the most knowledgeable Yankee fan as well as New York City tour guide of any we have had the opportunity to know. (This was our third trip to New York and each has included a city tour).

Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. We will definitely be using your services in the future as well as recommend you to those we know. NC, Eureka UT

Hello, Just wanted to drop you a line that we had an Amazzzzzzzzing trip to NYC with my wife and son(07/07-07/11). I must admit that I was skeptical of having coupons for all of our trips that we scheduled with you, and the hotel reservations etc. I must say that EVERYTHING worked perfectly with NO problems at all. It was great that all you had to do was to give them the coupon for hotel, tours etc. and we were on our way with no credit cards needed etc. Everything was paid for upfront which was great. We will be coming back to NYC next summer and will be using your company to book our trip. We have also passed your name onto friends and family that if you are going to do NYC to go with your company. Your hotel rates are better then what I can book online on the companies main web site. The room we got at hotel had a fantastic view and not a budget room that you might have expected with discount. DV, New Cumberland PA

I wanted to let you know what a terrific time we had and how good the results were for the things you booked for us.  The Waldorf was great, the people friendly and the service first rate.  The Tavern on the Green lunch was also excellent we were seated right on time and were well taken care of during our visit.  The walking tour of ground zero was also great as was or tour guide.  Very well organized and informative.  We had excellent seats for the Lion King and the dinner at Patsy's was also well done.  The highlight of the trip was the Yankee game with our tour guide Chris Lucas.  Chris was simply outstanding, probably one of the best tour guides I've ever been with.  His knowledge of NY in general and the Yankees and Yankee Stadium in particular was first rate.  He made the whole experience very memorable.   
The bottom line question is would I recommend NYCVP to others and would I book with your company again and the answer is YES.  All in all, it was an excellent vacation.  Our first trip to NY would have been overwhelming without NYCVP and the people you employ.  Keep up the good work. TC Lafayette IN

My wife and I used your company for a Christmas vacation with our kids a few years ago and it was the families favorite vacation of ALL time! SS Apopka FL

I am a single Mom and this is a requested birthday trip for my 9 year old son and me. I am so glad that I found this site and am able to do the things we want to do for such a great price! Sarah, Wappingers Falls NY

Michelle - I  wanted to let you know that the arrangements that you made for our New York trip the week after Christmas, were just excellent.  The hotel was very nice, the check in was quick and easy as they were expecting us and we were prepaid.  The tickets for the shows were good, also.  I am so glad that I discovered your website, I will certainly pass on the information to other NY travelers - as well as keep you in mind for our next visit.  One thing that happens when visiting NY is -  you find yourself saying :    "....the next time we come to NY, we need to go to...."
FYI, we traveled by train from Pittsburgh into Penn station and it was sure easy, convenient and on time.Thanks again for your help, June, Toledo OH
 

Sorry for getting back to you so late.... I just got back from NY and it was truly a great time.  The hotel was just fantastic - I never want to stay anywhere else but Embassy Suites now.  The trip to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty (the tickets were enclosed just as you said they were - I don't know how I didn't see them the first time), the Shuttle service, the vouchers, tips - I felt super prepared for my first trip.  The convenience of knowing I could call for help if needed, was a great relief also.  I saw a lot of the main attractions in NYC and walked most of the way myself with my son.   I also took the subways and learned how to get about during the 3 day visit. 

I saw the areas of the Financial District, South Seaport, Manhattan, Times Square, Broadway, Rockefeller Center, Soho, Queens, Central Park South -  and more.  We got many souvenirs.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do the Early Morning CBS show, because they were in Florida on Monday, but everything else that I was able to make went perfectly.

I can't say enough.  Thank you so much. Delia

Hi Chaquitta,
We had a wonderful time in NYC and just want to thank you for all of your organizing.  The weather held out good until late Friday night. 
We were able to do almost all the things we wanted except for visiting the History Museum.  I guess that will be another trip.  From all of us many thanks and have a great holiday season.  Oh, I almost forgot, the seats for the Rockette's Show were just two rows from the stage plus we met a couple girls after the show and were able to talk with them. What a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Thanks, Patty

We just wanted to tell you how terrific our Thanksgiving week trip to NYC was.  Everything you arranged worked perfectly for us.  The vouchers were honored without question and all accommodations exceeded our expectations.  We want to do this again in a year or so. Robert and Diane, Birmingham AL

Tara we had a great time.  Thank you so much you did an unbelievable job, everybody was so impressed and I am very sure several people in the group will be using your company in the future.  This trip was by far the best trip to NY everyone has taken so far.  You guys are the greatest.  I have already forwarded your name and phone on to two people in the group.  Again thank you and sorry i was delayed in emailing.  Thanks for everything. 

Just wanted to drop you a line and say a belated thanks for all you did. You and your team were great. Everything went off with out a hitch. The flight, the dinners and the hotel were all expecting us and they were of the highest quality in product and service. The tickets to the show were great we were in the 1st row and even though the middle is supposed to be the best I preferred it. It was my wife's 1st theater experience so thanks for making it a memorable. The baseball tickets were also great. I actually came with in an arms length of catching a home run ball and saw my self in the highlights on ESPN. The Mets game was even better and the seats were great. I didn't have a single complaint, except that there is so much to do we ran out of time. I have been recommending your company to everyone when I tell my NYC trip story and I will continue to do so. Even though I switched one big city for another and knew how to move a round a large city. It was still nice to have it all laid out so we didn't have to always hunt for things. ES, Aurora IL

 

Thanks, every time we go to NYC I have never thought of every contacting anyone else. You and your company are fabulous. If people every mention NYC I always tell them to contact you guys or send them your link. This is our first time taking our daughter and she is very excited. Thanks again! Chantelle

 

Beth,

Just a quick note to say thanks, we got back on Monday and every thing went brilliantly!

The hotel was great and the Blue man group were hilarious.

Be sure that I will be in touch when we return in the next couple of years.....and I am telling all my friends how good you were.

Once again thanks  Martin G., Doncaster England

 

We had a wonderful time in New York!  We can’t wait to return.  Everything was so near by.  The tour guy was a very nice man. When I find his business card, I will let you know.  Thank you for everything!

 

Bethany,

My wife and I have just returned from our trip to New York.  I wanted to personally thank you and your company.  Everything and I mean everything was wonderful.  The Hotel Novotel was great and the location couldn't have been more perfect.  Our restaurants were wonderful.  Most everything was within walking distance for us.  Our tours were superb.  We had no problems finding the pickup sights.  The Statue of Liberty tour and guide was breathtaking.  Never did we feel lost.  The guides kept us well informed and watched over us constantly.  The guide who worked for your company on the Liberty tour was not only knowledgeable but very entertaining.  After that tour we walked up to Ground Zero, Wall Street, Canal Street, China Town and Little Italy.  Then caught the subway.  And the subways couldn't have been easier to understand. 

The Manhattan Comprehensive tour was terrific; from Harlem to Downtown Manhattan.  We also used the free vouchers for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Empire State Building. 
We managed three plays, the two we booked with you and one more.  I've was in awe as was my wife.
On our own time we visited the Garment District, all the 5th ave shops, Macys, Soho, Greenwich Village, Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building, Coney Island in Brooklyn (had a Nathan's hotdog), went and saw the Mets play up in Queens.  We saw Madison Square Guarden.  We covered the east side, west side, Tribeca, and on and on and on.
Forgive me for going on, but this past six days was grand.  We plan to go back again in our future; but this trip could not have been what it was had it not been for your service.  You took wonderful care of us, and to think I had never heard of your company until I searched it out on the web.  Again, thank you so much.  I've enclosed a picture and Brenda and I on the observation deck at the Statue of Liberty.

Again, Bethany, thank you so much, and please let your superiors know how much we truly are grateful for all you did. GM Clay City IN

 

I just want to thank you for the great job you did putting our trip together.  We had such a fun time we're already talking about our next trip.  THANK YOU!!! Thank you.  SN, Sumner WA
 

Hi Bethany,

  Well we made it home. Thank you so much for setting us up at the double tree

it was great. We had a great time.

Wow what a city! I had been there before and my husband but the kids had not so they were amazed. We were so busy and saw soooo many things. Loved all the attractions.

The Lion King was so awesome my younger son Jacob who is 10 loved it so much. It was great!!

 We are exhausted drove the whole way home today it only takes a little over 7 hours but still that is a long day.

Thanks again I will refer anyone to you. MC Erie PA

 

Our trip to NYC was awesome!  We will definitely go again, because we did not see it all, and we will without a doubt go through you guys.  Your part of the reservations all went off without a hitch. SA Lake Onion MI

 

Hi Jim,

Just a note to thank you for all your kind help in preparing for my trip to NY with my granddaughter.

We went on June 14th through June 16th. It was wonderful. Everyone was very kind and helpful.

The Hotel Edison was located in a great place for all the broadway shows we took in. We arrived at 12:30 pm and our room was ready for us.

I do want to tell you the seats to Lion King were fantastic and it was one of the best broadway shows I ever saw. The vision that Julie Taymor had to put on such a spectacular production was amazing.

When I plan to go to NY again, I would definitely book through NYCVP again.

Have a great day. MD, Medford MA

 

Dear Celia,

Ralph and I have just returned from our fantastic three week vacation. We want to thank you SO VERY MUCH for planning a spectacular three days in New York City!!  Our hotel was right in the heart of downtown Manhattan and was smack in the heart of the theater district just as you promised. The production of “Wicked” was superb; I cried it was so amazing and Ralph was equally moved. Since we were near to absolutely everything we experienced fine dining, shopping, and sightseeing easily!  We were offered so many percs for planning our trip through New Your City Vacation Packages we weren’t able to find time to fit each opportunity into our timeframe yet we did take advantage of the free admission to the Museum of Natural History and just paid a bit extra to take in the show “Cosmic Collisions” at the planetarium there which was- almost literally- out of this world! 

Truly we thank you for such a great time…we would be interested in any promotions you ever have because we’d go back in a heartbeat!!

Sincerely, Pam and Ralph

 

Hi Beth,

I just wanted to let you know that my husband, son, and I had a great time in New York this past weekend and that we were very happy with all of the arrangements.

We loved Patsy's and were thrilled to have such good seats to the shows.

Thanks so much for taking care of everything for us. Regards, Lynn

 

CELIA!!!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!! AWESOME, FANTASTIC, THRILLING, WONDERFUL!!! Thank you for such a fantastic trip!!!! Once we arrived in JFK, it was move, move, move the entire trip!!! The Marriott was beautiful!  I was so lucky; this hotel is right on Broadway (which you already knew!!) in TIME SQUARE!! From our window on the 23rd floor!! We could see where they drop the ball for New Year’s.  We took the subway!! Yes you read right the subway and it was nice.  Not filthy or smelly or anything the good ol’ T.V. portrays.  The Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Ferry ride were awesome!!  Ms. Liberty is breathtaking!  We had the time of our life!! We ‘accidentally’ found Grand Central Station, Central Park and Rockefeller Plaza---we walked and walked and ended up with shin splints!!!  We were across from MTV’s Total Request Live and saw the singer Rhianna being hurried into the studios.  We found Fox News and looked in through the windows!!  What knuckleheads we were!!! Total tourist, but then again so was the majority of everyone else out there!!  Yankee Stadium was the highlight for my husband and I think I saw a tear or two!!!  I will MOST DEFINITELY contact you again when we decide to go again.  Since I have been back I have passed your name and company name to all who have asked so I hope you get a lot of hits. 

Celia-----No words can express greatly how I feel other than THANK YOU so much for your time, consideration and knowledge. RE, Pueblo CO

 

Your web site was easy and fun...I know 'nothing' about NY and your site made things easy!
Again, thank you. LW
 

NYCVP, Just wanted to drop a note and tell you all that my family has just returned from a vacation that you all helped us plan. We would not and could not have enjoyed our time in New York any better. Your staff was great to work with and helped us fit everything into our short visit. Without your help we would only have seen a fraction of the city, would never have gotten a hotel so close to times square (the center of the world), and last but not least....to get us tickets to two of the most popular broadway shows was just above and beyond. I could go on and on...but please just accept a heart felt thanks from our family. Reeves/MacDonald Family Jacksonville AR

 

Beth, we returned from our trip last Sunday night. It was a great four days and using your company made it so easy. Everything was seamless, from the hotel to the show tickets. I will recommend you to others who want to visit the Big Apple. We got tickets to Good Morning America on St. Patrick's day and were even on TV for 5 seconds. Seeing the parade standing across from St. Patrick's Catherdral was an extra we didn't even plan on. Thanks for your help. You made our vacation easy and fun. SB Dallas TX

 

Hi Beth,
I just wanted to let you know how much my wife and I appreciate everything you and your staff at NYCVP did to make our visit to NYC the most wonderful experience that it could be!!
All of your recommendations couldn't have been better!!
The Empire State Bldg. tour included free in your package was breathtaking!! We visited at night and had short lines and great views of the sparkling city!!
The Warwick Hotel was fantastic with a huge, elegant, quiet room; generous and helpful staff as well as the perfect location!! Everyone there was so friendly and made us feel right at home.
The theater seats for "The Lion King" were dead center and perfect!! What an amazing show!! My wife loved it!!
The menu choices for the pre-paid dinner at Broadway Joe's Steakhouse were better than we ever expected, as well as Tavern on the Green's lunch menu!! The meals were amazing and the desserts at Broadway Joe's were some of the best we've ever had!! We appreciate you changing our dinner reservations at Broadway Joe's to accomodate our change of plans as well.
I also appreciate you getting back with me so quickly with my lost departure flight information on our last day, you and your staff went over and beyond what we expected from an online travel service!!
There was nothing that you could have done to make our trip any more enjoyable, (I guess you could have made it a little warmer, it never really got above 40 degrees while we were there!!! hahahah)
We have already recommended you to some of our friends and will be sure to tell more!!
Thanks again!! Chris & Tiffany O. Homewood AL

 

BETHANY,

    HOWEVER FASHIONABLY LATE ( SORRY!) I JUST WANTED TO SEND YOU A LITTLE THANK-YOU NOTE  IN REGARDS TO OUR NEW YORK TRIP THE FIRST PART OF JANUARY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP. THE SHOW WAS A PERFECT PICK.  THE PACKAGE YOU SENT ME HAD EVERYTHING SO ORGANIZED AND LAID OUT PERFECTLY. NOT ONE  PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING!  (IMAGINE THAT!)  I HAVE RECOMMENDED YOU AND YOUR COMPANY VERY HIGHLY TO ALL MY FRIENDS. THANKS AGAIN SO MUCH!!!   MY DAUGHTER'S 21ST BIRTHDAY TRIP TURNED INTO AN UNFORGETTABLE MEMORY BECAUSE OF YOU.

THANKS AGAIN, TS, Greensboro NC

 

Dear Bethany,

Back  just before the 9/11 disaster, my wife and I took a trip w/ NYCVP.  I have never been more satisfied with a company in my life.  We have been dying to go back.  I took home the itinerary last night and my wife is very excited.  I just wanted to check out the hotel and the shows before I made my choices.  She might want to see the producers.   We are still thinking about what else we want to do.  Last time we visited MMA, so this time we want to visit the Museum of  Natural History.  I am excited about using your company again and I trust you explicitly.  I have nothing but wonderful things to say about you and your organization. E O'D Mt. Pleasant SC

 

Dear Beth,

    Our trip was wonderful, thanks to you. You did A great job! Are seats were front row, our room was over looking 49th street, very cool! Thank you for having the Grey Line tour buses during the strike. If ever we go again, which I want to, We will definitely call on you. Have a wonderful new year!! Thank you soo much! 

Sincerely,

Marc & Sharon, Lancaster CA

 

Hi Celia,

Just wanted you to know what a WONDERFUL time Dana and I had this past Dec. It was just as you described...but you don't know until you see it. We were on the terrace overlooking Time Square for New Years...AWESOME! After speaking with you about extra tickets for performances...I did call the Broker directly...spoke with Theresa and we saw The Lion King. Everything was wonderful. Thank you so much for helping us to plan a great vacation. I will remember you the next time myself or anyone I hear needs help in planning a great vacation to New York. Happy New Year! ES, Alexandria VA

Wanted to check back with you to let you know all went just great in New York over the holidays.  Enjoyed the hotel as well as the shows.  New York is something else - no place in the world quite like it.  We usually stay at the Marriott Marquis Hotel on our visits but this time stayed at the Crowne Plaza per your tour.  Excellent hotel and excellent location.  Actually nice to be out of the thick of the crowds where finding a place to walk on the sidewalk is a challenge.  Overall it was a super trip. DW, Champaign IL

THANK YOU so very, very much.  Our first experience in New York City was incredible.  Everything with NYCVP was perfect.  The room was great, the vouchers were easy, I am in LOVE with the city and will be returning (probably when warm b/c we FROZE lol but still loved every minute of the glamorous NYC)! JL, Hattiesburg MS


Just got back…NYC was fantastic! The voucher booklet provided by yourselves was the icing on the cake – I will have no hesitation in recommending NYCVP to anyone and everyone, the hotel exceeded expectations…everything was peachy! TO West Yorkshire UK

Hi, well we survived our trip ... what a wonderful time was had by all...The brunch at the Crowne Plaza was awesome..it was so much fun..also we met some very nice people there..the only thing not perfect had nothing to do with you, but the airlines lost 1 piece of my luggage...all dirty clothes...what a stinker...if you have never stayed at the Sheraton New York, you really need to. the service was great, and the beds were the best I've ever had "on the road"..thank you so very much for planning this trip for us...now think about a short trip for my grandaughter and me. NF Louisville MS

To Jim,

Thank you for the vacation package that you put together for us. We spent Sunday to Wednesday in NYC and had a wonderful time. We encountered no problems, had great seats for Mama Mia and enjoyed the Waldorf=Astoria. I highly recommend your service! JS, Hickory NC

Hello Beth,

Have now returned from the Big Apple.
Palace Hotel was excellent. Tickets ready on arrival. Room superb and with fantastic view as requested.
It was a brilliant experience all round. 
Just a thank you for your prompt service and attention to detail.

The British tourist industry could learn an awful lot about real 'customer service' from your company! SM, Oxford UK

My sister and I just returned from our New York City vacation. What had a really wonderful time. Everything was perfect. It was our first trip to New York and your planned vacation was fabulous. Wicked was wonderful and the 4th row seats were fantastic. We will never forget it. Tavern on the Green was very special. The Marriot, at Times Square, was more than we could have imagined. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. I planned this vacation on line, and communications with your company was fast and efficient. Thank you so much for everything. MH, Johnstown PA
Thank you so much for your help. Finding the NYC package enabled us to come back to New York. We are so looking forward to seeing The Christmas Spectacular and Wicked---and New York of course!! Thanks again. Cece
Stefanie and I are back from our trip to NYC. We had a fabulous time. Thanks so much for your help. We loved the Belvedere Hotel. Everyone there is so nice and it was a great place to stay. The Fun Bus to Early Show was a hoot.

The World Yacht Cruise was amazing and, of course, the highlight was our trip to Wicked!!

Everything was perfect. I'll recommend your company to our friends.

Thanks! DPT, Manassas VA

Hello Bethany,

Thanks to you--we were able to show our friends in Toronto (who were experiencing NYC for almost the very first time) such a special three days in New York and I couldn't have done it without you.  We laughed and cried our way through "Wicked" -- and had the most perfect seats in the house.  Shopped, noshed our way through Soho, Chelsea, Greenwich Village and 42nd St.  The Belvedere Hotel was perfectly situated for all our needs ... and the concierge was an absolute doll!  You should be so proud of the perfect service that you gave us!!!  I will tell all of my friends about your website (or maybe I should keep it as my little secret!) lol

A very sincere thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts. It was truly the most special three days of our lives!! Sincerely, DL, Washington DC

Debbie, Just wanted to let you know that my family and I just returned from our weekend at the NY Palace.  The hotel was absolutely fabulous and we really appreciated all the "extras" that you threw in with the package.  This is our second time using NYCVP and we will definitely use your services again.  Thank you for a job well done!! DB, Western Springs IL

Thanks for such great customer service, I will keep this email in our travel folder for future use! We hope to come up soon, but it looks like we won't make it this month.
Thanks again and feel free to keep us on your mailing list! BK

My wife and I want to let you know how pleased we were with the accommodations and tours your company arranged for us in June 2005. The hotel (Warwick) was superb in every way. We particularly enjoyed the All Loops Tour recommended by you and the theatre orchestra seats were much better than we had expected. Thank you again for this memorable trip provided by your company. Sincerely, RS, Eustis FL

Hi Beth,

I know you haven't a clue who I am but we have "talked" many times this way getting my trip organized. My friend Karen and I would like to tell you what a fantastic time we had in NYC and that you are one great trip organizer!!!! We had a ball - all our tickets were first class and all our restaurants were fabulous. We loved our hotel ...it was SO central to everything we did and it was next door to a fire station which was a BONUS especially for Karen who is a firefighter here. (Lots of photos taken there) We were treated like royalty and felt very special absolutely everywhere we went. We found the packet very organized and easy to use. Everything was done for us and the map was fab. We packed as much in as we could and are now planning another. Karen insists we use you again and I must concur. :) There aren't enough words to tell you how wonderful it was.

Thank you again and I look forward to dealing with you and your fab company once more.

CM, NS Canada

Dear Celia, Kelly, and anyone else who worked on our vacation to NY:

Thank you so much for our wonderful vacation. It was absolutely perfect. All of the ladies had a wonderful time, and we will be recommending your company to others.

 KB, Jacksonville FL

Beth,

I've been meaning to send you a quick e-mail and thank you for your help in planning our vacation to New York City (June 27-29). To say the least, it was wonderful! I really appreciated the second row seating for Stomp...my niece and nephew had an absolutely wonderful time being so close to be able to interact with the cast. The Double Tree Guest Suites is a perfect location in Time Square and the staff was very helpful and friendly! The room was very clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoy the Rockefeller Walking Tour with the free tickets that were included in the package. It means a lot to me when I find a service that is trust worthy enough to recommend to others and to use in the future...NYCVP is on my list.

Thank you again, LK, Oxford MI

Hi Beth, just wanted to let you know I just returned from my trip to NY and all the arrangements were great. It did take the super shuttle awhile to pick us up in Newark, but all was good. We used our extra shopping coupons and Empire state building ones as well. As an agent, I love your packet with all tickets and vouchers included, I see some of the other companies that don't make reservations for dinner or just give vouchers not tickets for shows, and yours is the best. Thanks again, good job. LW Cruise Holidays Redding

Celia,

Thanks so much for booking our trip to New York. We all had a great time. The hotel was so convenient. We went to Chicago, French Culinary School for lunch, Grey Line hop on off, we were on Good Morning America Tuesday a.m. We saw a lot in 3 days. We rode the subway and did a horse and buggy ride in Central Park. Talk to you soon.

Thanks, Jane

Debbie, I just wanted to write and say that we had a wonderful time in NYC......everything was perfect, the accommodations were awesome and the 4th of July boat cruise was the BEST!  The people from your company that were with us were so great.  Just wanted to write and say thank you for a great vacation!

MW, Ft Wayne IN

Hi Beth,

We loved our vacation in New York!!!!! It was so great! We would love to go back some time again. Not sure when but we will. :) Thank You so much for all your help you gave us.

KO, Toledo OH

Good afternoon, Beth

I booked through your site in May and my client's had a fantastic time in New York. They had such a good time that they would like to take friends and family along. With that said, I was wondering if you do group travel?? If so, would you let me know how to quote it on your site?? I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks Again

Stephanie

Executive Tour and Travel

Alisa:

Our trip was superb. We had great seats for all shows and everything just fell into place. The girls had such a good time. Phyllis was a pain but a trooper. She is 82yrs old and could walk as much as the rest of us. She just didn't want to spend money after she got there.  We rode the bicycle pumped buggies and that was a blast. Rode the buggy around Central Park. Had first row seats for The Blue Man Group and they were so good. Messy but good. We had to wear ponchos during the show and oh heck! Phyllis got splattered good.

We voted "Mamma Mia" our best show.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR A SWELL JOB!!!!

ROBBIE

Just wanted to tell you thank you for all your help, we are all looking forward to visiting New York for the first time. You really made this easy for us, I appreciate your help and advice.

Thanks,

Cindy

The first time I visited New York City I made the arrangements myself. The second time I used NYCVP. The third time I'll use NYCVP again. The coupon book was so simple to keep track of and I had no problems at all. I'll be contacting you next summer. Thank you for your assistance Beth!  BH, Chesapeake VA

Debbie, I wanted to get back with you and let you know that the trip went without a hitch!

The hotel was great, the show spectacular, and the weather perfect. We had one day with light shower and we just continued right through it!

I want to thank you for everything you did to make this trip a reality. Your website made it so much easier for us to determine what we wanted to do, but also what we could afford. And then . . . it was still more than we'd hoped.

I've told everyone I know about your site, so hopefully you'll be getting some more trip requests coming your way.

ND, Columbia SC

Hello Bethany,

I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that my very best friend and I went through you to plan our trip to NYC. We went 6/1-6/3 and it was wonderful. Everything we planned on doing, we did! Planning the trip through you gave us the best possible deal. The map that you provided was very helpful, we were able to plan our days based on proximity which allowed us to see and do everything that we wanted to.

I would definitely go through your company to plan my next trip!

Thank you very much! RR, Camden DE

Beth, Thank you so much for all of your help. Our trip to NYC was wonderful. You put together exactly the type of trip I was looking for, we had plenty of time to see and do everything, we felt informed and safe. The View was perfect for my daughter's 16th birthday dinner. Everything that you arranged for us was very easy. As you know, we all have our stereotypes of New Yorkers, hicks from Kansas, cowboys, etc....HOWEVER, I found New Yorkers to be friendly, courteous, kind and charming. The only rude people I ran into were the other AMERICAN tourists like us on the day we waited outside the Today show.

Thanks again for serving us and for sharing your city with us. I've traveled a lot, but I'm not sure I have come home feeling this proud to be an American in a long time. SP, Wichita KS

Beth:

 Just wanted to thank you for all of your help. We just returned from our trip and we had a great time. Everything went very smoothly. Loved the city, the sites and the people! Dinner was great at Patsy’s and The Lion King was Totally AWESOME! Great seats and great show!

 Thank you and we will recommend using your company to anyone considering visiting New York!

Hi Beth – thank you so much for everything. We loved our hotel, and the shows and tours. Everything was planned so well. We were able to have enough leisure time and still see everything we wanted to see. The seats for the shows were fantastic. It was just a wonderful vacation in every way. We really appreciate everything you did for us. CN Tucson AZ

HI BETH: THIS IS FLORENTINO , I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ARRANGEMENTS,  EVERYTHING WAS JUST GREAT. YOUR LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS WORKED OUT FINE. EVEN THOUGH WE ARRIVED ANOTHER DAY LATE DUE TO A STORM, EVERYBODY HONORED THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE.  I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP, AND YOU GUYS WERE JUST FANTASTIC.

Beth,

I just wanted to say thank you again for all that you did in booking our trip!!! We just got back last Friday night. We could not have had a better time...everything we saw was fantastic and the weather was perfect!!! I will definitely forward your name and your company on to any of my friends that want to come to NY!!!!! The highlight of the whole trip was that we

were on the Today show Tuesday and Friday and Regis and Kelly Wednesday and Thursday!!!! We are sorta "home town celebrities" ha!!!

Thank you again.

KE, Waldron, Arkansas

P.S. If anyone asks about the play "Hairspray", it is awesome. Highly recommend it!!!!

Dear Celia:

What a wonderful time my sister and I had last weekend in New York!!!! The package we booked was perfect. No hassles, no problems - and lots of fun. The Warwick was fabulous. The transfers to and from the airport were great.

We were so centrally located that we found our way around the city very easily. Not bad for 2 gals that have never been to New York before. Wicked was the best performance I have seen in a long while.

I did fill out and drop into the mail yesterday the comments coupon that was included.

My only comment to improve on your packages is to add more restaurants to your evening dinner restaurants selections to choose from. The prix fixe meals were GREAT. We had very nice selections to choose from and no problems. Eating at Tavern on the Green was like eating in a fairy tale. So Beautiful!!

My sister and I have told so many people about your services including the 7 people that we rode the shuttle back to the airport with on Sunday. They all wrote down your web site. We can't wait to come back to the city and do it again. We will most certainly call and book it with you.

Thanks for helping us to plan such a great trip!

Hi Bethany

You did a wonderful job putting together our vacation to New York City, everything was perfect (except weather) we had a wonderful time. My mother's dream came true, and on top of that she met Katie Couric and had a picture taken with them both.

There is so much to do in New York City and never enough time. I would love to go back soon, but [this] vacation inquiry is for our friends. I printed out an example of the great packages you have he will look at them. Again many thanks for the great vacation package. Looking forward to our next visit to NYC.

 Have a wonderful day

Sincerely

CC Clinton Township MI

Hi Beth,

It has taken me awhile to get back to you regarding our trip to New York. It was awesome. Mama Mia was spectacular and worth seeing again. Everything that you booked for me was perfect........Broadway Joe's - oh my God! Everyone really enjoyed it........I will recommend them to anyone, as I will also recommend NYCVP to anyone that is thinking of coming to New York.

Thank you for all the help you provided to me. The smile and look of awe on the faces of the ladies that went with me was worth every penny that I paid for the trip. I couldn't have asked for anything else.

PA, Kenosha WI

Your package appears to be the best overall deal. I would like to pay one price for an all-exclusive package because on vacation you should be enjoying yourself not stressing out. DM, Vancouver BC

 

To Whom It May Concern: Our family just returned from a weekend in NYC. We had a wonderful time. Our travel agent put our weekend package together using your services and we were very pleased. We especially enjoyed our tour guide on Sunday to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Darryl Reilly provided us with a wonderful walking tour of the Battery Park area as well as Ground Zero. We felt this was a terrific and unexpected benefit to our group meeting a 8am and boarding the ferry at 10am. We were not rushed (a novelty in NYC) and felt the visit was informative on a more personable level. Our two sons, ages 8 and 11, also enjoyed Darryl's antics. LW, Manchester NH

Dear Beth,

I just want too give you a feed back of our recent reservations at the Sofitel in NYC. The hotel was superb. They were able to give us the two adjacent rooms at the end of the hall, so it was like a suite set-up, very convenient and the rooms were in the 19th floor. One of the rooms had a nice view to the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings.

I really appreciate your service and help with the reservations.

Best regards, GM, Daly City CA

Dear Bethany,

thanks for the follow up. I'm impressed!

I did indeed call direct and booked with Jim.

Sincerely,

SG, Travel Agent

Beth,

Well.................I just got back from NYC on Saturday, and I wanted to tell you what a FANTASTIC time we had. Every single detail came off like clockwork. The show tickets were outstanding (2nd row for Phantom--wow!), the hotel was perfect, and the tours awesome. The instructions for where to be and when couldn't have been better. I want to be sure to give the company a GLOWING recommendation, as well as the tour guides we had. They were all so informative and interesting, and so knowledgeable! I know you'd probably like for me to go to the website to leave feedback (right?), but I wanted to be sure and thank you personally for the vacation of my lifetime and my mom's too! You can't believe how much we were able to fit in in those 6 days! Besides everything we had planned, we also managed to fit in another show ("Wicked"--awesome!), David Letterman (Robin Williams was there!), and Good Morning America (the nicest bunch of people!). There's still lots we'd love to go back to see and do, but we filled every minute we had on this trip! 

We decided we wouldn't take a million dollars for the vacation we had, and we'd spend twice as much to do it again. Thanks again for your help! Please let me know if I can do anything else to brag on you guys, OK?!! CG, Nagodoches TX

Hello Celia! My husband & I returned from New York last Sat. We booked the Hotel Edison , a bus tour & Mamma Mia tickets through your company. Everything went smoothly. Loved the Edison- small, clean, updated corner room on top floor. Perfect location! Central Park is absolutely amazing. I had just read an article in National Geographic Magazine regarding the planning & making of this gorgeous park. What an oasis in the middle of a busy city! I love Manhattan! But it's nice to be back in our quiet little city. Many thanks to you! IE, Sudbury ONT

We have been using NEW YORK CITY VACATIONS  for several years. We have found them great to work with They go out of their way to be sure that we their customer is well satisfied. There have been times that they have found things for us that were nearly impossible to get. If all our vendors did as well as New York City Vacations it would make life much easier.

They would make a great preferred supplier for New York City.

MK, Travel Agent, Fredericksburg VA 

Beth: 

We just returned from our 6 days in NYC, thanks to you and the package you put together for us. We lucked out and the weather was just great. The two shows- Mama Mia, and Lion King were wonderful--and you got us great seats. This was a surprise anniversary trip for my wife--and celebrating my retirement on 4/1. The Hilton was great--and located near the activity. Getting around was a snap with the subway and bus system. The dinner at the VIEW was great as well, as was the World Cruise on the Hudson/East River on our anniversary night. JH, Bellgrade MT

Jim,

My friends and I just wanted to thank you for arranging our trip. We just got back Friday evening and had a wonderful time. The Belvedere was a beautiful hotel with very helpful staff. Our seats for "Wicked" and "Hairspray" were terrific...only four rows back at "Hairspray"! The shows were tremendous. The vouchers made everything go smoothly. We will not hesitate to recommend your company to friends and family, and of course, we will definitely visit New York again with your help. Thanks again.  

Sincerely, RW, SN, SH, RW, Russell KY

Bethany: 

We just had to send you a note to let you know what a wonderful time we had in New York City this past weekend. The Broadway show Wicked was excellent, dinner at Gallagher’s was scrumptious, and the sightseeing was fantastic! We encountered no problems whatsoever with any of the reservations. We have to admit, however, that we were waiting for something to go wrong (because with our luck, it always seems to), but nothing did --- it all went very smooth.

We will definitely use NYCVP again if we ever make it back to the Big Apple.

Thanks again for all your help!! B and D W, Newark OH

Beth, thought I'd let you know that our trip was great, thanks to your help. Spamalot is absolutely fabulous, the Belvedere was great. Thanks for all your help. BW, Edmond OK

I've read all the positive comments from other folks who have used your service and feel very encouraged we have trusted our trip to your group. We are all very excited about our first visit to NYC.

Just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful time on our trip. Hairspray, Wicked, and the cast party were our favorite moments. Thank you so much for all of your help, it was great! Amanda

Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for a great vacation package! we had a fabulous time in NY! everything was just fantastic! BJ, Indianapolis IN
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to NYC 12/21-24! Was wonderful to have the vouchers and everything taken care of for us. Kudos to the front desk staff at Novotel for offering to change our room for a Times Square view. We had a great time at the Intrepid, seeing the Rockettes and doing the NBC Studio Tour. DC, Maryland

Having just returned from their New York City Vacation, the two couples just couldn't talk enough about how well the trip went and the wonderful job NYC Vacations did in setting up and fulfilling all their requests. Therefore, some wonderful and fond memories this Christmas Season of 2004 will always be shared.

I would personally like to extend my thanks to Jim and to Susan for their job assisting me, along with others who helped along the way. I will not hesitate to use NYCVP time and again. DL, Travel Agent, Colorado

Mom and I were talking about what a great time we had last year on our vacation you organized for us. Thank you for helping us have such great memories. You were so awesome! Mom had a quadruple bi-pass in early December, so this New Year's Eve was a little different that celebrating on Times Square. But we kept seeing things on the TV that we had seen in person last year. It really helped to have such a great trip to remember and such a great trip planner. Thank you. Hopefully next year I'll be contacting you to schedule another fun trip! RL

Hi Bethany -- just a note to tell you your arrangements were great -- the tour was excellent -- amazing how much one can fit into a week end! 

Thanks for all your help. MO'C Cincinnati OH

My friend and I just returned from NYC on one of your great packages and want to write a review for the Novotel Hotel and for your company, if we can.

We were more than pleased with everything!

Tell me where I can write this info.

Many thanks TC, Coarsegold CA

Beth,

We got back from our New York trip yesterday. Everything was fabulous! You did a great job of organizing everything for us--far better than I could have done on my own. Thank you for all your help and patience. The Waldorf lived up to its reputation, the plays were wonderful, plane trip went smoothly both ways. We did have one minor snafu--my husband had a minor medical problem which kept us occupied for half a day, which meant that we ran out of time before we did everything we wanted to do. We were not able to go to the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island, and we did not take the Rockefeller Center tour. Is there any way to get a refund on the unused tickets? If not, it's not a big deal, just thought I would ask. Again, you performed a wonderful service, and I have been telling everybody about your web site. BW Edmond OK

DEBBIE, WE HAD A GREAT TIME EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COLD AND RAINY. I WILL SEND YOU THE COUPON TOMORROW. WE JUST RETURNED TONIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH! GREAT WAY TO SPEND YOUR 50TH. NYC, LOVED ONES AND LOTS OF LAUGHS. MK, West Hills CA

Bethany, I wanted to e-mail you and say thank you very much for the week end package you put together for my wife and I for our 25th anniversary. Every thing worked out great. We got to do and see just about everything. The flights were smooth the hotel was Sofitel and the play was funny. So again Thank You and God Bless. RS, Springfield OH

Just returned from a great trip!! Everything fell into place wonderfully!! Send us an e-mail now and then if you have a special Radio City in Nov and Dec. Thanks again, KB, Dagsboro DE

[My clients] had a wonderful time! Everything was perfect -- they enjoyed themselves so much they wished they'd planned for a longer stay! Their walking tour of Lower Manhattan was on 11 Sep -- it was moving! Thanks for all your help! Barb (travel agent) Arcata CA
Bethany, THKS for all your patience and help. I did not make this easy for you and I applaud your persistence at getting back to me, with exactly what I asked for, and doing it so nicely. Please pass this info on to your boss as I see you as an asset to your area. THKS B O'B
Sorry to just be getting back to you, but we had a wonderful time in New York. Everything worked like clockwork. Thank you for making our vacation effortless. I think we will probably make this a yearly trip if not more often. Please feel free to send me any specials you have as you get them. We do a lot of two, three, and four day getaways because of being realtors we can't always plan to far ahead. Thank you again for your help. DB Arlington TX
[This package] sounds great to me! so we'd see wicked AND the lion king, or wicked OR the lion king (like it really matters, so long as we see at least one!!) yey! i am excited! and I like the museum thing, and the not having to search for restaurants and yeyeyeyey! will we see central park? can I look at times square? do I have to sleep? (does this package include lots and lots of coffee/mountain dew, lol) ok, bye bye! DH

Hi Beth, Just a note to say thanks. Everything went as planned. I never thought planning a trip could be so easy. Just click and get ready to go. I'm in love with NYCVP and will use it every chance I get. By the way, we loved New York City. Can't wait to go back. Many thanks again.

Sincerely, KR, Mandeville LA

Dear Beth,

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for all you did to make my wife and my 25th Anniversary trip to New York so fabulous. Every detail you handled was smooth and easy. We loved the Warwick hotel, the seats to the Producers were the best we've ever had to any show we've ever seen, and as a baseball fan, my trip to Yankee Stadium was like a trip to Mecca. We truly had the time of our lives, and it was probably the first vacation we have taken where we weren't anxious to get back home. We would not hesitate for one second to recommend your service to anyone contemplating a trip to the big apple.

Thank you again for everything.

Sincerely, MO San Leandro CA

Dear Debbie,

We're back! We had a great time and want to thank you for all you did to make everything a happy memory for us. We want to tell you about everything we liked. I know you don't want to hear it all, but we figure it will help to share our experiences with others who might be planning a trip. Feedback as it were.

My family loved the vouchers...with everything prepaid, we felt like we here traveling as honored guests. The DoubleTree worked perfectly for the 3 of us and the staff was very accommodating... especially our maid Carmen (she even left us thank you notes for being so neat!), the doormen (always cheerful, professional and informative) and the attendants (ready to get us a cab, provide directions, help in any way). The concierge was helpful as well (made calls to set up our transfers). The room was comfortable, provided all of the amenities that we desired and was 22 floors away from most of the street noise (higher is definitely better). The hotel was perfectly situated to everything we wanted to do and we walked everywhere from there.

The Grayline bus tour provided a great way to observe the city and we explored much based on what we saw on this tour. The tour operators were very knowledgeable. Of course, some of the tour guides were better than others. The only drawbacks were a few mechanical glitches that slowed down the tour and kept us waiting a short time on the second day. Would still highly recommend first time visitors to enjoy this method of getting to know the city.

We enjoyed the variety of the many experiences as well. We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art and took the ride up the Empire State Building to the Observatory. The pageantry of the Lion King was something to see, but the comedy and musical precision of Stomp was definitely our favorite.

All of our cab drivers were quick, efficient and fun to talk with. We learned about their work, their families and their hopes and dreams as they came from Haiti, India, and Bangladesh.

So many of our meals were so very good. We can't say enough about Broadway Joe's and Langans. The food was better than fantastic and the people there took such good care of us.. Especially Franco at Broadway Joe's. Hurley's was also very good... the best cheesecake ever. When we missed our original reservation, they were very kind about our showing up very late....like 4 hours. They just joked and said they missed us and brought out the best food. Lindy's and Tavern on the Green were the only places that were just okay. Tavern on the Green was a beautiful place but the food was adequate in comparison to the other places and the prices. The staff, however, was very pleasant unlike Lindy's. Stopped at Ray's Pizza and it was great.

The flight was great. Would also recommend the Embraer 145 jet. It was quiet and you could keep your bags close... at least in Greensboro. They took them (the larger bags) at the gate and returned them to you as you disembarked. At Laguardia we had to check them but that was fine too. Checking in with an e-ticket is definitely the way to go. Getting to the airport too early is a waste of time. At Greensboro we were ready to go 15 minutes after we arrived...it took 30 minutes at Laguardia. I guess you still have to be sure, however.

The trip to the top of the Empire State building and our meandering the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art were equally inspiring. We saw Usher at MTV and Norah Jones at the Today show and had our pictures shown on a billboard at Times Square. We ferried over to see Lady Liberty and found our family name at Ellis Island. Everything we've seen on TV, we now have our own personal reference point. We loved the architecture and were intrigued by the workings of the city.

I'm still tired so I'm sure I've missed something or haven't explained it very well, but the short of it is, we were very pleased with our trip and we appreciate everything that you and NYCVP tours did to make it special and hassle free. Thanks! KH, Statesville NC

Beth,

Just wanted you to know that our family just returned from the New York City vacation you arranged for us and we had an absolute marvelous time. Everything was outstanding. I could not be more pleased with the results. The accommodations, play and sight seeing passes you provided us were just the right ticket. We are already planning our return trip for next year and will definitely let you know when we are ready. Thanks again for the memories I am sure will last us a life time. Respectfully, DH Alliance, Ohio

Beth, you helped me set up a vacation to NY in June. I just wanted to drop you a line and say "Thanks." We had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything was great. The Belvedere which you suggested was the perfect location for us. Having already planned a number of events really helped us organize our trip and use the most of our time. I have been asked by several friends what travel agency we used and how much it cost. I have given your company's name to everyone who ask because we had such a great experience in NY. Again Thanks for all your help in setting up our vacation and rearranging it at the last minute to include Fae.

PS Leesville LA

Bethany,

Just wanted to let you know how well it all turned out.

The seats for Wicked were incredible (as was the show)!! Hairspray was a hoot. Our hotel was wonderfully situated.

All in all it was a WONDERFUL visit.

Anyway, I have recommended your company to others considering a trip to NYC, and will certainly come back to you in the future.

Thanks again, NL Bremerton WA

Hi!

Just thought I'd let you know that my friend and I had a fabulous time in New York. The hotel (W New York) was excellent, the shows were wonderful, and the sightseeing exceeded to our expectations. Booking through NYCVP simplified everything - I'll definitely use your services again (and recommend you to others!) Thank you! 

Regards, KG, New Haven CT

Hi Bethany,

I booked a tour with your company through my travel agent - Hartville Travel in Hartville, Ohio, the other day. It was a pleasure doing business with your company.

Thanks,

Jim

We just got back. We had a great time. Everything was perfect. The people are just excellent, friendly, helpful, fun and "great drivers". We'll be back. Thanks for the help , the hotel and Broadway tickets were excellent. CR, Dartmouth NS

Hi, Bethany:

I was trying to get an idea of the cost of a Christmas week trip to NYC but we will probably not be making it until December 2005. We're busy saving the money and will make our reservations with your organization for sure! It IS a wonderful deal! KM

Dear Sandy,

This is in reference to my clients (June 1-June 7, 2004). I just wanted to let you know they had a wonderful time. This is the 2nd time I've used NYCVP and both times you guys have been great! You are easy to work with -- you know your product and sell it well. So THANK YOU! SF, Iowa City IA

I've been visiting the NYCVP site so much, it is a great relief to know that such a site is out their for people like me who would like to visit NY and have an outlet that is so willing to help out!

Hi Debbie, thanks for following up on my inquiry. I am a travel agent in northwest Arkansas and know nothing about NYC, but have a client interested in coming in September. Does your company contract with agencies for commission? I was very impressed with the website and all the options available. The package options were great. Let me know where I stand as an agent and I will try to follow up with Ms. D. to see if any of what I got from your website is what she has in mind.

Thanks again, LAT

NOTE from NYCVP: Yes, we do pay commission to travel agents on all packages and options!
