The bus is a great way to put some perspective to New York which is so huge. The architecure is incredible both in historical areas and the newer parts. Chris was a super guide, both knowledgeable and witty.

Traveled from Philly to NYC for the day. The bus was a great value and had many traveling time opening a for the day. It was convenient and comfortable. Will do it again in the future.

This was my 3rd trip to the big apple and my favourite because l had a change to visit some iconic areas of NYC.

Enjoyed the time. Easy to get on and off. Buses were always not very far apart to get on. We only got to take the downtown loop but it was very nice. Guide on final loop was very informative and easy to understand.
Maybe not possible but would have liked to have a stop at the Staten Island Ferry dock.
Plan to do uptown next time.

For such a big city felt there could be more stops instead of having you walk to various places at each stop. bus guides vary helpful and knowledgeable

We had a two day pass and were able to visit all the sights on our bucket list. The guides were very well informed and added to the trip except for two who thought they were in a comedy club. The evening tour was ruined by the guide who wasn't even aware that most of his audience was not American and didn't make any adjustments for them. Danny was a super host and we wished we had him on every tour. He was the only person to explain that different languages could be heard on different channels and he explained this in each language. So glad we at least had him once!

EVEN THOUGH i ALREADY HAD MY TICKETS, i STILL HAD TO SEEK OUT THE OFFICE AND EXCHANGE FOR TICKETS. The bus was full twice in arow had to wait till 3rd bus wwasting my time . The tour guide was very nice and informative

Way too long of a wait for buses. Sometimes couldn’ Get on because the bus was full. Many grey,Inez would go by us while we waited

None this trip, we never found the bus stop at a time when the bus was still operating. Very busy, couldn't conform to the bus' schedule.

I purchased 2 Classic Adult New York City Big Bus Tours Hop on Hop Off tickets through Viator....I still have all receipts and information for this transaction. The iternerary showed I purchased the 2 adult tickets for this tour $49.50 each for a total of $99 dollars.
When I selected the blue get ticket button on the itinerary it displayed the adult ticket to be scanned at the bus. The displayed ticket indicated 1 adult ticket ONLY. I called Viator immediately and spent more than 30 minutes on the phone with a woman from a foreign country call center.
She kept telling me she would take care of everything. She kept putting me on hold to get clarification from a supervisor. Then after a long time she told me... "Don't worry sir, Your ticket is the way all of them print out. Just show the tour bus guide the Itinerary and it will be fine".
Well, it was a LIE. I got to the tour bus in New York City and the man said No, I must scan 2 separate tickets and this is only 1. Yes, I see you have paid for 2, but you were only given 1 ticket....
You must purchase another ticket to ride the tour. So, I was forced to do so or we both could not take the Big Bus Tour....
Viator Lied....
Also s family got on the bus a stop or two later on the tour and told of having to purchase additional ticket because they too we not given all the tickets they had paid for over the phone.
