Booked 48 hour tickets. Excellent value for money - and a good way to get an overview of the city. Day 1 we took a south city tour - fantastic guides - entertaing and very interesting. Day 2 not as good. We took a tour of upper east and west side on a newer bus. Commentary via headphones provided was spoiled by interference and finally it stopped working! Guide said that this was a regular occurence. If so, this really needs to be sorted out. Boat cruise was good although the tour guide liked the sound of his own voice a little too much - maybe we just didn't get his humour. On balance I would recommend this tour.

The tour was great value, thought you definitely have to print out the 3 pages of data and hand this over at Madame Truseaus this is where ticket office is we used the hop on hop off doing complete circuits to get our bearings then will know where to go when we return at the end of the month. But you don't have buy in advance they had the tickets at the same price on the day at the ticket office.

Nice, but the bicycle trip (guided Brooklyn bridge tour and a day rent a bike in Central Park) we liked more, it was more active.

Great way to see New York busses ran regularly and the staff were friendly.

It was very confusing as to where to exchange the online paperwork for the actual tickets. Ended up going three different locations. The tour itself was wonderful! I think next time I'll just wait until I get to NY and buy my tickets there.

Well worth the money!! It's a great way to see a lot in a short time. I would take it again and plan to on my next trip. The Harbor Cruise meeting place directions could use a little work.

Great and knowledgeablee guides. Good routes. Pity that we were so badly let down by buses that didn't turn up on sunday afternoon so we couldn't take advantage of the night trip (already paid for) and had to get up extra early next day to fit in harbor cruise and uptown bus before flying home. Be careful where you get on and off - they aim to fill the buses at the start and ends of the route so if you're standing at stop 2,3, or 4 your chance of getting on any bus is very very low. It's not quite the hop-on / hop-off that it claims to be when you actually come to use it. If you strike lucky with the buses - buying the all-in 2 day ticket is great value for money.

Bus stops a little hard to find, but giving the vast size of the City then this would possibly a have a little to do with that! The tour guides on each of the tours we took were excellent in terms of info and humour, as a family we all learned a little more about the city we thought we knew about......
