New York: Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Tour med åben bus

Unfortunately we didn’t get to hop on the whole day, just one time in the morning and when we were trying to hop on the buses didn’t stop on the bus stop and the bus sign said “bus drop off and pick up” but the buses ignored us so we ended getting an UBER, and we spend $ basically for nothing.

I found it to be unorganized, some of the buses didn’t have working air or fans inside which was unbearable while sitting in traffic for long periods of time. Another issue was that the audio wasn’t always working, so in addition to not learning anything about the sights, we didn’t know where we were in the route or the distance to the next stop. I’ve used a service like this in Key West and it was great but, I would just as well take the subway in New York.

Booked on a Sunday morning to see as much of NY as I can in as short a time as possible. I booked a 24-hour ticket and got to use the morning the following day to go around the route again. I have not visited the city for approximately 10 years, and I wanted to see what I could while taking the weight off my feet and sis just that. The recorded tour, which they provided headphones for at times, seemed a bit out of sync, but it didn't bother me so much. Maybe because I'm familiar with the city, if I can imagine it being frustrating if I were visiting as a first-timer. Open top bus the first thing that needs to be on point was the weather; absolutely glorious. The staff were pleasant and friendly warm and welcoming like the weather. I truly enjoyed it. The first day I just rode the loop. The second day I was on a guest to find Ladder 8 Ghostbusters HQ so I rode it downtown to Canal St and went to Tribeca to see it in its glory and took the subway back to area I boarded in Times Square. It was $52 dollars with a discount. It served me.

When registering with this company, you also have to be sure to download the website so that you get critical information, such as how long it takes for a bus to arrive at the loading/drop off points. That information is not shared after your registration is confirmed on the website. If it was on the website it was not obvious or easy to locate. They do share the points of interest but no information was shared as to how to look for their signage when hopping back on a bus or when the next bus would show up for a hop-on so you could plan your journey accordingly. In addition, there were not enough buses to accommodate the number of people who had registered. We hopped off at the ferry. When we hopped back on to complete our tour there were no seats left on the bus and so we completed our tour standing. It was difficult to enjoy the tour because we were not in a position to plug in our headphones. Not only was it standing room only, but at each new stop, not enough people were leaving the bus and new people were allowed to board. The bus was packed with riders. This made the remainder of our tour miserable.

For a first-time visitor to Manhattan and Brooklyn, the Big Bus Double Decker buses provide an optimal viewing experience from the upper deck. I recommend starting early on one of the first buses of the day (9am downtown loop or 10am uptown loop) to take full advantage of the day(s).

It was absolutely fabulous. The bus is a clean. The audio works fine not every tour operator is the same one of the buses with Libni as the tour operator, his bus was absolutely fantastic. He would stop run upstairs. Tell us all what to expect in the next few blocks said a bunch of jokes had a great personality was so happy to be at work something very hard to find he made the experience even better but the trip in general the tour is fabulous. Hop on hop off to what you want. It was great. I would recommend it to anyone.

A really great way to initially see some sights when you first get to NY city and help to get your bearings. I did the whole loop without getting off at first and then after I had made plans of what I wanted to see and when,I used the Big Bus and hoped off at the nearest stop. I found as a solo traveller it was safe and good value.

you can see all the most beautiful places in less time, very convenient and great service, I recommend it

A good way to see the main sights and let me know what I was seeing but the commentary was recorded, a couple of times it didn’t seem to coincide with what I was looking at and a couple of times it stopped mid sentence for an announcement and didn’t restart where it left off. The announcement didn’t happen for the stop I wanted so I missed it. It was ok but think I’d try a different company if I did it again.

Great New York overview! Staff was very helpful and the buses did their best to stay on schedule dealing with NY traffic.
