Ticketing was done online. We just showed our paper ticket and hopped right on the bus. We loved seeing and hearing (don't forget to take earphones that are free) places on the bus. Very easy to get off and get back on.
The crew on our bus were very willing to help us find a lost item (a tiny diamond necklace) long after we had left the bus (it came back around twice) and they very graciously looked all over for it, and it was even eventually found! Thanks to the crew for going above and beyond.
I enjoyed the history provided; however, it was not easy to get to a stop. There were not as many stops as I had expected.
Hop on, hop off is very useful as you can plan your day and go to NYC's landmark or whatever order you want to visit first.
Quick view on the town, nice the concept up and go. In real, it's difficult to use it to visit something in the same time. Very great if the weather is beautiful
Helpful, friendly staff. Informative information. Especially grateful for the kindness and regard given to my mom, 85 years old.
The line for the bus at Times Square was excessively long. Had to walk to another stop to even get on. Workers at the Times Square location were then seen allowing people to cut in line ahead of waiting paid customers. UNSAT.
The staff and the audio were awesome. All the buses that we were on had NO A/C in the lower floor of the bus.
Audio guide was great. Ability to hop off & on was convenient.
Great route; easy to find the stops when you hop off and hop back on!
We enjoyed the Broʻklyn tour with live guide Ric
Very friendly drivers, clean buses.

Glad the bus had plastic rain covers. We got poured on.
Busses were way to rare for uptown NYC and there was no audio for Uptown. That is not a tour. I can have a can drive me around the park way cheaper and faster if I'm not getting audio. We waited 90m for our morning Uptown bus. Direction on site way too confusing - which stops actually pickup at which times. App was terrible. Downtown audio was fine and stops well planned.
The tour was fine but having booked from Italy I had trouble converting the ticket
View original review in Italian
It was awful- 48 hour ticket. Day 1 had to change bus on 3 different occasions, the drivers were not helpful and the buses were stifling with the heat as there was no AC. Day 2 no better, heat in the bus was so bad I thought I might pass out. Everybody was struggling with the heat in the bus. The buses need replacing and they should have aircon
Bus audio didn't work on multiple buses.
Nice experience seen a lot of New York. Buses run very frequently and if you sit on top of the bus you have a nice view. We were in the winter so a warm coat is necessary
The level of Spanish dubbing was outstanding. The windows of the bus on the second floor were dirty which did not allow us to take good pictures. We did not receive a location map upon arrival, we had to ask for it. It would be good to put some heating on the second floor. Lack of assistance at stops, although the driver was very friendly, sometimes we did not understand where the stops were and we missed visiting places. But the worst thing is that the excursion was finished earlier, and when we asked a top view official to take the bus, he simply said that he had been informed that they finished earlier, it was 16:30 which annoyed us a lot, it is absolutely claimable,

No PRM ramps on the buses We could only make one trip at $50 a seat for 6 people Pathetic for disabled people!!!

The tour didn't follow the original route, missing major landmarks for my visiting mother. Above deck had zero coverage and was wet and rainy and not enough seats below deck. No audio whatsoever. Skipped stops. Tickets needed to be on an app but never said that when I purchased so we missed 3 busses getting redirected from driver to driver refusing until someone finally explained. Would NOT recommend

wonderful view of the city with all its lights from a unique point of view compared to other skyscrapers avoided the queue thanks to the tickets purchased in advance
It was amazing. I was able to see all the attractions I wanted and had a seamless experience with getting checked in.
We had a great time. Eat before you go in. Cafe is pricy. Plan on being there at opening to have ample time and avoid a crowd for an hour or two. Sooooo much to see so plan a second visit and wear comfy shoes.
It was a beautiful place and all the staff were very pleasant and helped us when lost or in need of directions. Its a very informative place and would definitely recommend.
The system is simple and generates clear indications to the user. All the activities were impeccable. Good group guides, knowledgeable and empathetic.

Wonderful customer service & however, buses cleaning should be increased!!
I had very bad issue with bus driver. He did not allow me to take ride on bus even i was there in line with my family. He pushed my wife to get into bus so hard that it hurt her. My daughter was crying with his loud yelling. It was totally discrimination from driver with another passenger. He openly said "i will not let you take ride in my bus but take another next bus." I am not going to tolrate this kind of behaviour. Will definately go next step for this.
It was so easy to use, you literally just find the attractions you want to see and head to the entrance with your QR code ticket pass. Even those where you have to book, the experience was easy to complete through the app. Will recommend.
Such a great experience and hassle free. Combination tickets saves time and money.
It was an amazing experienced.Thank you very much

"Riding the Big Bus in New York City was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped aboard, I was treated to unparalleled views of the city's iconic landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Times Square. The convenience of the route combined with the comfortable seating made for an unforgettable sightseeing experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned New Yorker, the Big Bus tour is a must-do for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the vibrant energy of the Big Apple." Also the staff were so friendly and up beat!
Jenn's passion for what she does is infectious. Best decision I made in NYC!

This visit was like Waw experience for me and my siblings. I have never felt like that in my life and you can never find the food and drinks anywhere else I promise you. The customer service was thrilling. Overall we felt like kings 👑 my brothers are still overwhelmingly grateful for the memory we had out there yesterday.
The views of NYC: The Chrysler building, MetLife, Pepsi Cola, WTC... incredible! Also the metallic balloons room is amazing, we felt like kids again. The top roof bar drinks, Almond croissant and ambiance are tops.
We were behind a bit in time of our booking and panicked arriving! But the staff on entrance were so obliging to help my family get to gain the amazing experiencebof the edge! Would highly recommend it for all to do..
The place is amazing in every way – the view, the lookout point, the feeling, and the glass floor all come together to make the experience especially powerful.
It was an amazing experience—even though the weather wasn’t great and the view wasn’t the best, we still had a fantastic time😇
My 11 yr old son and I had a wonderful time on our visit to The Empire Building. It was educational and informative for my son. Every employee was helpful, polite and made our experience a one to remember.
It was super easy to buy tickets online and the experience inside the building was wonderful. It is worth it a thousand times over.

I highly recommend.The ferry ride allows you to see Manhattan from a new angle. Ellis island is a discovery and you can make your own genealogical certificate. The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town

The views from the observation deck are magnificent, especially at sunset. The only drawback is that it's far too crowded, which should be regulated rather than having to queue up to take a photo.

The whole experience was awesome. The ferry ride was fun and everybody was very nice and accommodating to me. I plan to return soon and hopefully this time go inside and up into the crown of the statue. And you people will definitely be my ride over there. Thank you for everything you guys did for me. It was an awesome day and I will never forget it, thank you so much and I can't wait to come see you again
The view was incredible, the energy too and everything was awesome

Fantastic day discovering the most famous statue in the world and the history of Hellis island that I did not know. Very interesting and current topic of immigration. The visit to the Hellis museum is to do it all without missing anything!!!

Everyone was so helpful and friendly. It was rainy so it was not crowded but the weather held off so we got a great view of the city.
The ferry rides are fun. The views from the boats and both islands are fantastic. All personnel were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of ferries running so there wasn't a long wait to get to the next stop.
I enjoyed the history provided; however, it was not easy to get to a stop. There were not as many stops as I had expected.
The view on the 86th floor was the best. The of historical part was to long. The ticketing experience was fine. What I didn't like was the long lines shuffeld us along it took forever to get where we were going.
Absolutely seemless experience from end to end. We arrived and there was someone to great us and get us to the right place. We were pleasantly suprised with the exhibits and the organisation was brilliant. The views are amazing and you could spend as much time as you needed to get the perfect photos.
