Great tour to explore the sights of uptown and downtown New York, with guided information for local spots. Would definitely recommend.

If they use your website or app, they will have to call you before they can access the tickets. I stood in the cold, waiting to call your people.

Truly an easier way to sightsee mid/downtown Manhattan. Ms Copeland our awesome Hopon/off driver /narrator added to our day in NYC memorable.

Great experience on this tour. Denise and Wonda were very helpful and friend with any question we had. The tour showed us all the main attractions and accessible stops.

Very informative and knowledgeable experience. I got to see all of the major areas and I appreciate that it stops at major areas, allowing people to get off, and runs every 15 minutes.

We past visited in October 2019, which was amazing. We had a tour guide who was very interactive and made the tour amazing….fast forward to December 2025 and we were very disappointed. There was no tour guide, instead we were given a set of earphones and endured tacky music for most of the journey and then some very little commentary in between. If we visit Manhattan again in the future I don’t think I would pay for the tour again. Visiting from Glasgow, Scotland

Great way to see the city!! You could definitely use a second day to see everything at all the stops. Staff is great and buses come fairly quickly

Definitely saved us from walking miles. Some of the drivers don’t announce the stops so you have to use the headphones to listen to the commentary if it works on the bus you’re on. Some buses didn’t have working audio.
