"Great deal for all of the sites"

We purchased the 3 "pack" tour for 4 of us. Unfortunately we ran out of time, so we were only able to go to 2 of the attractions. Both were amazing though (Top of the Rock and Empire State Building). That being said... We did do the hop on hop off bus both days. It was ok, plus we learned a few new things (even those in our group that have been to NYC multiple times). The fact that it was included with our package at no additional cost was nice. Two more things included in the cost (that we didn't have time to do) were a comedy club night and Ripley's. The last "freebie" that was included in the package was the hop on hop off ferry ride. We ended up taking this during the last run of the day on Saturday (just before sunset). Oh my gosh! Best part of our sighting by far! Our guide was amazing, the sites were amazing (no need to do Statue of Liberty if you don't care to get off the boat - our driver made sure both sides of the ferry got a nice view for photos).

Overall, great purchase for a good price. Oh and, we did purchase online so had to go to the office to pickup our tickets. Very friendly gal helped us.

Bottom line, it's worth the $$. Wish we were there for 3 days to enjoy all that was included. Also, purchased online, through Ebates, so getting a bit of money back. 😁

"average, enjoyable but some flaws"

The guide pointed out landmarks but was not specific as to their location. The Windows inside the bus were covered with a film which made it difficult to see through, therefore had to sit upstairs and it was
Cold.

"Well worth the money"

We wanted to do a helicopter tour of New York and looking at the internet Newyorksightseeing was probably the most competetive, but it had loads of add ons, 48hrs bus tours uptown, downtown, Brooklyn and night tour. Boat tour, comedy club and other things. The helicopter tour was excellent 20 mins ride and seeing all the sights, the hop on hop off was also very good, with very informative guides. I would definitetly recommend the river tour, you will get some great views of NY, Statue Ellis island and more.
We only had two days in New York and it is a very busy city so you can only do and see so much, but i would recommend the sightseeing tour it was well worth the money

"TRIP QUITE GOOD, BOOKING DIFFICULT"

I enjoyed the "Bronx Tour", though only about opne quarter of the trip was in the Bronx. Of the two guides we had, one was good and responded well to questions, and the other was set on giving the set script regardless.

The booking experience was very poor. From 74th street where we were staying, we had to go to 55th street to collect the tickets we had booked on line, and then to 122nd street for the start of the tour. It was difficult to collect the tickets because we had not been able to print out our booking confirmation, although I had it on my iPad, which was not sufficient for the booking agent (this is not how the process is described on the website).

"NYC sight seeing tour"

Good tour depending on what kind of tour guide you get. You can hop on and off as many times as you want. First guy was pretty lame but the second guy was very knowledgable and explained alot of landmarks and attractions. As long as you have an interesting tour guide its pretty neat. Otherwise it would have gotten 5 stars.

"Great service Jimmy & Shawn"

We had 2 experiences with sightseeing and both were great..!
First was the uptown bus tour which I booked online. Easy to book. Unfortunately I had prebooked a specific day - which was the wettest day of the week. This didn't spoil the experience as we had Jimmy as our guide. A truly knowledgeable guide even though you couldn't see out because of the rain we still felt that we got the full experience.
Second was our encounter with Shawn (8793). He stopped us outside the Empire State, and we had walked past many of your agents... His charisma help to get our attention. We were only planning to attend ESB but he got us express tickets and upsold us another trip which was equally amazing as the ESB. What can I say? Shawn saved us a lot of time and money, so for that Thank You..!

"Could not understand tour guide and didn't share much history"

It was difficult to understand our tour guide because he would talk fast and then move his voice away from the Microphone. Also he didn't share much history. Really disappointing. I've been many times on these tours and years ago it seemed people shared more history.

"100% Disappointed"

Sat on the bus without moving for over 30 minutes with a tour guide that had such a heavy middle eastern accent, none of us could understand him. Protestors were marching (president-elect Trump); however, there should have been some disclaimer stating normal routes would be altered, delayed, etc. We had two of our grandchildren with us and they were bored to death. We hopped off after one stop, wasting our $200+ tour.
