This was entertaining and a little informative. Wouldn't really recommend it unless someone was really looking for something to do that would kill some time.

This is an absolute must. Entertainment was great. The lights of the city at night are beautiful while you enjoy it in incredible accommodations. This is a fun experience you will always remember

Not what I was expecting. For those that have been to New York before - I wouldn’t waste my money. You will have seen and heard most of what you get on the ride. If you are a first timer in nyc you might enjoy it. Very over rated!

Basically the weather was too cold to enjoy anything

Fabulous, loved every minute
Review by: Jason W, December 2017
The Ride is truly the most original and surprising tour I have ever been on. I truly loved it. Mixing the old tour bus experience with comedy and performance - the Ride was honestly my highlight of my trip. I don't want to spoil it for anyone but what makes the Ride unique are the street performers who appear throughout your ride - ranging from dancers to rappers - all are very talented individuals.

This was something different and fun for the festive period but not quite as expected_br/_ An hour delay in the trip starting with no notice was disappointing.

Jackie and Nancy were awesome.......great tour guides with the help of The Ride and its knowledge made the trip perfect. I chose NYC to celebrate my birthday and I was not disappointed....the street performers were all amazing......the city is alive and so much fun.....I would definitely recommend taking this tour!
Review by: CAROL R, May 2017
We were very pleasantly surprised at this tour. We were four eighty something year olds looking for a novel way to spend a couple of hours not in a museum or theatre. THE RIDE was fun, interesting and very professionally done. The host and hostess were talented and gracious and I would recommend this to all ages.
Review by: Elena B, January 2017
The tour was fun but I needed to go to collect ticket in a different place and nobody told me beforehand.
Review by: Stephen C, January 2017

Wonderful experience
Review by: JOMAR, November 2016
I enjoyed this so much. The Ride has a fresh and modern take on city tours by injecting humor lots of it and samplers of the performing arts as they show you around Manhattan. It was definitely entertaining funny and hilarious. The guides/hosts were a knockout. If you ask me what i learned about New Yorks history in this tour. . Not a thing. But it is crazy funny and entertaining really not a dull moment. I definitely recommend.
Review by: Clodagh D, October 2016
Top night really funny and gave a unique view of the city and sights.
Review by: Anton C, October 2016
We are SO GLAD we did this! Our first time in NYC and it gave us the overview and it was so much fun! Entertaining and informative, lots of surprises along the way. Not the easiest place to walk around so this was a great way to see some of the places we didn't get another chance to se..
Review by: taz, October 2016
An interactive and entertaining experience!
Review by: splasberg, September 2016
Though a little pricey, this is a fun experience. Guides Jackie and Scott added to the fun. I would have liked to see more street performers. Also, we waited in line on the street for 20 minutes in the 90-degree temps for our bus to arrive. All-in-all, though, a fun experience to try once.
Review by: lukeandelisa, September 2016
Too fun! My son and I had a great time on The Ride!!! What a great, fun first tour of NYC!!!!
Review by: Moira B, September 2016
Wasn't the best trip i've had. Felt that it was rushed in places
Review by: Helen S, August 2016
Had a great time on this tour my Grandson loved it
Review by: jothornleycox, July 2016
We had a blast on the RIDE. I loved the rapper, who creatively dealt with two trucks getting in his way. The ballerina brought me to tears. And watching the people on the street as well as interacting with them was great fun. Well worth it!
Review by: Cristy F, July 2016
The Ride was ok. It was pretty and #34;hokey and #34; for the price. Going around in literal circles was boring. Got a little info about some buildings but not much. The tour guides were nice and energetic Would not do it again nor would I recommend it to others
Review by: Mike K, July 2016
This tour was amazing!
Review by: Rachel H, July 2016
Very fun and clever. We paid less than the advertised price, not sure if it would be worth full price.
Review by: Teresa M, June 2016
It is a 10 star must do in NYC. Scott was amazing.
Review by: LindaD, June 2016
Kind of corny. Circles same area twice...average street performers....maybe worth 1/4 of what was charged. Don't waste your money....in the bus you ARE the entertainment...see a Broadway play. Much more bang for buck.
Review by: Glyn P, June 2016
Great fun, everyone joined in on this mad mad tour. This is a must that everyone should do
Review by: Amanda G, May 2016
Both the hosts were so funny and entertaining. Highly recommend it.
Review by: Tracey B, May 2016
Wasn't sure what to expect and remembered telling a fellow passenger I wasn't the happy clappy type but once onboard the Ride found myself singing and clapping along. The staff were very good and kept you entertained the whole time with their amazing energy!! The perfomers were absolute stars so talented, this is definitely a must if your in New York!!
Review by: Priscilla R, May 2016
Highly recommend this tour for people visiting New York. The hosts were fantastic and very humorous and it was a tour like no other!

This tour was fabulous. We had a great time. Our two hosts were funny and very interactive with the group. I would fully recommend this tour. We did it at night and the lights of the city were very beautiful.

Had a great time with my wife and the two host were great. The street performances were also entertaining.
Review by: nunan, November 2015
AMAZING!!!!!!! I will do this again.
Review by: Amy G, October 2015
Great tour! Lots of fun even for me, a seasoned New Yorker. Great high tech bus and energetic guides. Loved the street performers. Best part was the confused look on bypasser faces. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun experience in the city
Review by: Danielle L L, October 2015
A lot of fun...lots of interactive and interesting performances. Nice way to get a fun, historical perspective of a a small area of the city.
Review by: Richard D, October 2015
We loved it! Our kids 14 and 12 were not really into it but maybe they were a bit tired and grumpy.
