Amazing, the tour guides were so funny. Did the 72 hour ticket and was worth every penny. The night tour was the highlight. The tour of the Bronx and Yankee stadium was also really good. Get an early start in the mornings the traffic on the downtown loop is manic. Wish we had the time to do the Brooklyn tour. Will definitely use the bus again its a good way to see many sights in a short time and get your bearings of the city.

I'm normally not in that kind of tourism, but it was the best way to see all New York for the few first day to know where I would like to go back and also use it as a nice transportation between attractions! A great deal to really recommend!
