This was a jam-packed tour. Its a good way to get an overall view of the city. The bus driver was amazing, maneuvering around the city. The guide was a walking encyclopedia. He knew so much about the city and had character. He even blew a few short tunes on his harmonica. He told you anything you wanted to know about everything in NYC, such as who lived where and when various buildings were designed and built and by who. We stopped at Grant's Tomb, Little Italy for lunch (would have liked a few more minutes there), took the Boat Cruise to view the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, stopped near the 911 memorial-but couldn't see much and then ended at the Top of the Rock. The tour went a little over time, so we got our money's worth. It was perfect timing for the city view at dusk, since it was starting to get dark. I would recommend this tour, its just a long day, so be prepared! Bring extra batteries for your camera.

This was one of the highlights of our trips. We still had to spend a fair amount of time in various lines, but to be expected for a Sunday afternoon. Well worth it!
