There is no live narrator and you plug in headphones. Good you just use it as transportation to different neighborhoods. Not great to see the sights from the bus.
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the experience did not meet your expectations. While our audio commentary provides information in multiple languages, we recognize that some guests prefer a live guide and a more immersive sightseeing experience. We're pleased that you found the service useful for traveling between neighborhoods and appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. Your comments have been noted and shared with the team for review. Alex@BigBusTours

We have had the worst experience with this tour. We rode all day and the buses were so crowded my family did not get sit on top one time. The inside was so hot my daughter got sick. We came back for the night tour, went a few blocks and something with the bus is broke and we have been sitting on the side of the road for 30 minutes. Nothing about this was a good experience
You will get to see many of New York’s highlights and it allows you to know which locations you want to go back to. Well done!

Jose is a very passionate and funny guy. We’re enjoying the tour with him all way long.
The hop-on-hop-off bus tour was a good experience overall. We absolutely LOVED the night tour and would do it 1,000 more times. During the day is not quite as enjoyable just because there are a ton of people booked and the busses fill up very fast. That is our only complaint. It is worth the expense!
Hi there, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you absolutely loved the night tour. We also appreciate your comments about the daytime buses filling up quickly and will share this with our team. We hope to welcome you back on board again soon! Alexandra@BigBusTours

Even as a native New Yorker it was still a super cool experience to share with my family. It was great to experience the city without the normal daily hustle and bustle.

It's especially rewarding to know that the tour offered a fresh perspective on a city you already know so well. One of the things we love most about our tours is giving guests the chance to slow down, take in the sights, and experience the city from a different viewpoint.
