Had a bit of trouble finding the office to exchange the Viator voucher, but once that was sorted it was plain sailing! Trip was great and used the hop on/off many times for the various tours.

great way of getting around a large city, and sight seeing at the same time, tour guides make it fun..

Review by: PAMELA D	October 2011
Easy to catch this hop on hop off as we were staying in Times Square area. Unfortunately,we didnt use all the options on the ticket, due to bad weather. Didnt feel like getting drenched. We didnt use the night pass as we had bought broadway shows from ticket booth in Times Square and ran out of time on our 4 day pass._br/_ We travelled all the areas of Manhattan though and found these most enjoyable. Top of the Rock was great but had to pick the day that the weather was clear. Woodbury shopping was great and we spent the whole day there. Easy to get the bus as we were staying a block away from the bus depot.

Brilliant way to see New York - we probably saw far more than we would have done without this ticket. Again bus stops are not that well signposted and map is a little confusing but overall this was the best ticket we bought. Uptown tour a bit boring but Downtown tour excellent. Shopping trip OK but took over an hour to get to outlets so bear this in mind if you only have a few days in total as this trip takes up nearly a whole day. Top of the Rock ticket great - didn't queue at all.

Review by: mandyvanzantwijk	June 2011
A great way to see as much of the city as you can, within a limited time. The outlet trip was well arranged, Top of the rock is really worth going up!

Review by: DJ	June 2011
It rained! But the Tour was prepared with rain slickers. The guide was amazing! Even though it rained it was a great tour!

absence of buses- one turned up after considerable wait- only to have to get off immedietly because it had broken down._br/_ was only able to get on once (filthy bus)- bad value

Review by: Denise P	December 2010
Top of the Rock, best at night, spectacular!!! _br/_ City tour bus, very cold,no option to sit inside,but definately the best way to see New York.

Very good value for money, great day out at Woodbury Common and fantastic views from Top of the Rock.

Review by: Andrew D	November 2010
Excellent value for money. Once we collected the tickets everything went without a hitch.

Review by: Brian G	October 2010
Very good service. Easy to understand and plenty of guides to ask for information. And when it rained we were provided with ponchos which came in really handy.

Review by: Carol M. S	October 2010
Was a great package, very good tours around New York. It could use a better bus with a lower level for when it rains.

Review by: Barbara C	September 2010
Very good, except for the night tour, travelled too fast and again the microphone did not work and could not hear a word the guide was saying. Just as well I had done this before so I knew of the sights.

Super

Review by: Anne-Maree H	September 2010
Trip was OK, a little disorganised at the bus terminal.

highly recommended. best way to get about! everyone was really friendly

Review by: Joan G, United States of America	June 2010
This was a great way to get an overview of the city however, the bus drivers and tour guides could be trained with more patience and to be more helpful. The majority of the guides were knowledgeable and cared about their jobs, but there was a female guide on the downtown bus who was rude and kept yelling at the driver in her mike to get going in the midst of traffic, and her narration was "blah" where she just stated what the next stop was. I think in irritation, the driver started to jerk the bus which I think caused a whiplash that I didn't feel until 2 days later. The worst part was trying to get directions to your destination, and they were very rude to those who did not leave a tip. In spite of all of that, I did enjoy the overview of the city.

Tour guides good but tend to be a little Over the top. Covenient for getting around. We received false info regarding times of buses and it did not tally with Viator's write up. We would suggest trying Greyhound instead!

Review by: Kelly T, United Kingdom	January 2010
A brilliant way to get around and find the attractions that you want to see! They have plenty inclusions, so you get bonuses as well!

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	December 2009
Although this appears to be a good value, my partner and I found that the tube was the best form of travel from downdown to uptown. Due to the heavy traffic at this time of year the journey can be too long especially if you're only here 4-5 days. The Top of the Rock is a must-do and the Christmas Lights tour was fun as our guide was a comedian in disguise. Woodbury Common is OK but the discounts have to be checked out as we found some prices the same as in shops off 42nd Street! In summary, the next time we come to NYC we will get a tube pass and pay separately for the included extras.

Great way to see round New York, excellent tour guides, each with a different story to tell, a must for anyone wanting to see round the city.

The tour bus is certainly a must for first time visitors. This was our second visit and decided to book the tour bus as our transport to get us about New York as our walking ability is limited. However, due to the various events of Fashion Week, the Marathon, etc., bus routes were disrupted and we found we were actually walking more than traveling by bus. The night tour and boat trip were really good. On the tour my sister-in-law was sitting in the inside seat of the row in front of me as we had both chosen to sit this way for photographs, etc. While on a tour, one of the male guides approached us and said as we were traveling together, could we move into the same row. I said no as we had chosen to sit this way and he then said that I could explain to the next passenger why he could not have a row with 2 seats for himself. Sorry, but as a paying customer I should not be approached to move seats for anyone and we were was not the only people he approached however we were the only ones to say no. Also customers need to be advised that if their actual travel ticket expires that the added extras (night tour, boat trip etc) can still be accessed up to six months after the the date on tickets.

This is a very good way to see the 'Big Apple'.

Review by: Cynthia S, United States of America	June 2009
There were plenty of ticket sellers on the routes. The Madam Tussauds fellows where we presented our online receipt weren't friendly. The many flimsy proof of purchase receipts we received were problematic and confusing to manage for 4 days. These tickets do not clearly show what you have purchased. A simple, heavier ticket-like receipt would be easier to manage and would hold up better. Several tour guides were wonderful, and several were very rude. One fellow wasn't knowledgeable but was very insistent about getting his tip. It rained all 4 days, but each bus was prepared with ponchos for us to wear and sit on. Some microphones did not work well and we could not hear. The worst part of the bus tour involved a large area of the route being inaccessible because of a Puerto Rico parade. Three major museums were impossible to get to except for walking. In this part of the route, the bus driver missed the temporary stop and caused me and my 75 year old mother to walk at least 12 blocks to get back to the Guggenheim. We gave up the bus tour and just took cabs after that for the rest of the day. Next trip I will for sure try a different tour company for comparison.

This tour is a great way to see many things and hear a commentary. You can breeze by what doesn't interest you and stop where you are interested. You cover much distance without having to determine the destinations or do the driving or cabbing or subway. You can also combine hop on hop off with getting to other destinations unrelated to the trip. We had an excellent tour guide on the Brooklyn tour. Great way for adults to see the sights while kids rest their weary feet.

Review by: Jan B, United Kingdom	December 2008
Top of the Rock brilliant but Hop on Hop off not as good as I have had in the past. We were not overly impressed with Woodbury Common, personally I would have rather have stayed and shopped in New York as it was mostly clothing and shoes.

Review by: WENDY H, United Kingdom	November 2008
This tour was brilliant. We went on all the tours except the uptown one, we ran out of time! We didn't get to the shopping mall or on the harbour tour, again due to time. The information on the tours was brilliant. They cover most of the city. The price was very good. Can't fault it. I would recommend your company to anyone.

Review by: William P, United Kingdom	November 2008
Top of the Rock excellent, especially at dusk when you start to get the best view of New York lights. The night ride is the best part of the tour I think the 4 day ticket was a waste of money though especially in cold or rainy weather. Shopping excursion was also good value.

Brilliant way to see the sights with interesting and informative facts en route.

Review by: Sylvia M, Canada	September 2008
The hop on, hop off tour was good, but some guides are much better and more interesting than others. I did not enjoy the night tour because the driver would not stop long enough to get decent pictures. He's an incher. When the traffic light is red, he'd stop, then inch forward, then stop and inch, nonstop - pardon the pun. That is not conducive to good nighttime shots. I also could not hear the guide on that bus. I didn't get a chance to do the Top of the Rock, the Brooklyn tour, or the river cruise. I was not impressed with Woodbury Common. Even the outlet prices were beyond my financial means in almost all the shops.

Review by: Anonymous	August 2008
Wonderful experience.

Review by: Tracey S, Canada	July 2008
Good value, great information on the tours. The only downside was that we visited during a heat wave and once you are on the hop on bus they can't let you hop off until the next stop, which depending on traffic can be half an hour or more. Plan ahead. Take a hat and a bottle of water. Outlet shopping was great, not many people, and a good variety of shops with bargains. Harbour cruise was excellent!
