The trip was great! The shows we saw, the hotel, the hotel location, the tours and activities, the guides, the bus transportation, the harbor cruise, the restaurants, the guides leading us through the subways, the train ride, the botanical gardens - we enjoyed it all. There was just the right balance of activity and down time so we could do activities on our own, rest in the room, etc. If tipping will continue to be expected and not be built into the cost of the tour in the future, then please give us more of a heads-up on who our daily guides will be in advance, how long they will be with us (e.g., one hour, one day, multiple days, etc) so we can be ready with tips when their time with us was over. We were disappointed to learn some guides had left us and would not be coming back to us before we had a chance to tip them. Our seats at shows were consistently to the rear of other members of our tour. We suspect that seating may have been assigned alphabetically. If that was the case, and that was consistently done, then perhaps mixing it up in the future so that the last names starting with "A" don't always get the seats closest to the stage would be a more balanced approach.

I had a great time. The itinerary was good, the accommodations were excellent - comfortable & good location - met some great people. Thank you.

I had a great time on the trip. Just the right amount of things to see and do on this trip.

Seeing NYC during the Christmas season was a bucket list trip for me and this did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the NY ballet Nutcracker and the Rockettes. The food and accommodations were also top notch.

Our accommodations were very comfortable, hotel staff were very obliging/helpful, and was located within easy walking distance to many sites of interest. The musicals, Christmas Spectacular, and Intrepid visit provided varied genre’s as well as quantity entertainment. While the mezzanine seats for the Broadway musicals were located within easy walking good views of the stage, the individual seating space am as limited and very uncomfortable. While I understand ticketing for a group poses challenges, on my previous MTW Tours our seats were in the orchestra sections. The restaurants selected for dining were good but Becco only offered variations of pasta dishes with no protein. As a diabetic, I need that protein with all those carbohydrates. There was a small dab of fish on the antipasti plate but was too fishy for my taste. . Bond 45 was the best as the chicken main dish that accompanied the other dishes met my needs. The tour guides were pleasant and knowledgeable while shepherding our group around. Also, Break-Away staff were approachable and helpful when needed. Overall my NYC adventure was successful.
