GBWorst tour experience- ever! If you enjoy listening to someone who doesn't speak English- take this tour! If you enjoy someone who doesn't tell you anything about the stops, just says, "here is number 37,38, etc" - take this tour! Completely unacceptable!

GBAlways a great re-orientation opportunity What a great opportunity to revisit some old destinations and new. Comfortable upper deck, great live commentaries. Not enough time to view all in 48 hours, but still a great trip. Book 'on line' with vouchers being redeemed at the Port Authority or directly from Sales team at all stops.

GBmessed up the whole day! After hopping off the bus to visit Lincoln Square we tried to hop on again at the same bus station, but that did not work: Several buses from the same line passed us without stopping, several had no capacity to get on. A large crowd of people wanting to hop on, had had shaped at the bus station and begann to become frustrated with the situation. It took us several hours to get on a bus but we had to sit downstairs inside of the bus, in the heat, with no view of the city at all. We were told we could move upstairs as soon others would leave but that did not happen, so we went around central park, through Harlem without actually getting a view. Also the staff was rude. It messed up the whole day, I had spent a lot of money on those tickets and my sisters had come a long way to spend a weekend in New York. Obviously NYsightseeing is selling too many bus tickets for too few buses in order to accommodate all costumers appropriately. I would not recommend it. For $168 we could have taken a lot of cabs!

GBDO not Recommend it! City Sightseeing has not enough buses compared with other companies. For example, while we waited for our bus, six Big Bus buses passed in front of us. Also, tour guides were very rude telling people to be silent. They were all seated at the top of the bus under the plastic roof taking 2 seats while customers were seated in the open. Definitely, I do not recommend them.

GBPoor Value for Money The on board tour guides are hugely inconsistent. Some barely say anything although, when approaching a stop they do talk for a minute or two about how they work for low wages and value tips etc!
