5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent, very well worth it. Our driver was excellent, funny, friendly, patient and explained it all very well. Only thing is if you book this trip, which I would highly recommend, when you print the details where to meet, ignore the instructions as to how to get there, they are very confusing - just make a note of The Seaport Hotel and go to the front door of this hotel, get a cab if you are not on a cruise, otherwise the cruise people might be going to take you there.
Fantastic trip and highly worth it. Enjoy.!

Excellent. We ended up spending all the time at the JFK Library and didn't join the rest of the trip.
