New York City Tour of Rich & Famous Creates Jackie O Sightseeing Bus Tour

NEW
YORK, NY, January 9, 2008 - Michael DeMaria, an attorney from New
Haven, Connecticut wanted to provide his wife Dana, a lifelong fan of
Jackie Onassis, with a 40th birthday surprise party she’d never
forget. Michael hired a private mini-bus with fully stocked bar,
invited 4 couples and contacted Rich & Famous Tours of New York
City to provide a special "niche" tour around the Big Apple with a
twist: viewing sites having to do with the late First Lady.

Rich
& Famous Tours Co-Founder and guide Jim Dykes thoroughly researched
the late Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy's life and included dozens of Big
Apple sites such as Jackie's former home address at 1040 Fifth Avenue
on Central Park, as well as 740 Park Avenue, the elegant building she
was raised in which was recently the subject of a best-selling book by
Michael Gross, 740 Park, The Story of the World's Richest Apartment
Building. Also featured in the tour were the various churches in
Jackie's life including St. Thomas More, St. Patrick's Cathedral and
the church of her christening and her funeral, St. Ignatious on Park
Avenue. Also included in the tour were schools, shops and hotels such
as the Carlyle where Jackie signed her pre-nup with Onassis' attorney
and JFK allegedly had his extra-marital romps and the Waldorf where
Jackie was crowned "deb of the year" in 1947.
