It's a great way to cover the world famous sights and monuments of NYC in this efficient manner. But something unfortunate happened. It started raining. so all the passengers from the upper deck rushed to the covered deck below. The driver forcefully shooed all the non seated passengers off the bus in the middle of nowhere, under pouring rain. I understand that this is a safety guideline but there ought to be a more considerate way of doing things. I felt so sorry for those who were affected.

Was too long sitting in traffic. Too much filler music on guided tour. How about educating us on all the gorgeous architecture, the beautiful churches? There was plenty more to talk about. And you really dont see many of the sights from the bus. A bit misleading. 2 of our headsets were static. Not worth the money.

Truly enjoyed the city tour. The 9/11 Memorial was something we will remember for a very long time. Tour touched a lot of different locations. I felt the commentary could have been better. It worked but more info and history would be good...a little humor too.

It was a great way to see the city highlights in a day. Great to be sble yo hop off snd back on. Would have preferred headsets that actually worked well. It was our whole group of 6, not just mine. You might need to update the recording. More info on the area/buildings instead of information about movies. When I road this in the past there was a person on the bus speaking so we could ask questions during the ride.

Ticketing was very smooth. Bought online and staff member scanned QR code and printed tickets and off we went! Red Loop was great, Jimmy was very informative as well as entertaining. Blue Loop was not so good as too many stops and not so much info.

The first part went well. Unfortunately, the bus we took for the last part was not functioning properly - so little commentary, slow driving (couldnt get vehicle in gear) and no air conditioning. Oh well..
Alastair
Aug 2024Verified booking
The frequency of the downtown hop on/off bus service in the morning was fine but in the afternoon there were very few and we waited 40 minutes to go back to Times Square: an empty bus ignored us and drove past, a full bus ignored us and the growing queue, a third bus dropped people just past us so we couldn't get on. One driver lied about the next bus being in 2 minutes but didn't like being challenged. We used a public bus to get home. I wouldn't recommend this hop-on/off - there are better ones in Manhattan.
Joan
Aug 2024Verified booking
The concept of getting on and off at various points is great; but one bus dropped us off a block before the regular stop, and there were no directions to the sights listed - for example, Rockerfeller Center and Grand Central Station were a few blocks from the drop off point, and there was no one to direct us. The audio gave very little direction or informaton; too much of it was just music, and the narrators were silly. I would not recommend Big Bus for New York.

We had a good time ! A lot of buses, so we didn't wait a lot. We have discover New York (very useful for the first day!),
Karla

I liked it because the bus goes through the emblematic places of Manhattan. What I didn't like is that there were several audio guide devices that were not useful. Also, I didn't like that one of the stops didn't match what the map we were given said.

The convenience of getting to a destination without having to drive or walk. The only issue we had was not always knowing where to get off that was the closest to our destination.

When I purchased the tickets for the red and blue line, I did not expect that going to both venues were not possible. They should recommend doing one or the other, not two. I was not able to see it all. Then the bus conductor was very disrespectful, he was using foul language and then wasted about 15 minutes, since he insisted on doing this paperwork at that very moment and not utilizing the time to drive to the various locations. With that being said, the time crunch set in. I have to experienced hop on at many places but this was the worst.

First and foremost,I enjoyed the sightseeing experience on red and blue lines of the Big Bus Tour.My 4th of July was fun and memorable experience, being in a crowd at Time Square.New Yorkers and visitors enjoyed the Independence Day filled with entertaining activities,and the early evening spectacular fireworks celebrating and commemorating the Day of Freedom of all walks of life.

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

It was a great way to see the city highlights in a day. Great to be sble yo hop off snd back on. Would have preferred headsets that actually worked well. It was our whole group of 6, not just mine. You might need to update the recording. More info on the area/buildings instead of information about movies. When I road this in the past there was a person on the bus speaking so we could ask questions during the ride.

Ticketing was very smooth. Bought online and staff member scanned QR code and printed tickets and off we went! Red Loop was great, Jimmy was very informative as well as entertaining. Blue Loop was not so good as too many stops and not so much info.

The first part went well. Unfortunately, the bus we took for the last part was not functioning properly - so little commentary, slow driving (couldnt get vehicle in gear) and no air conditioning. Oh well..

It's a great way to cover the world famous sights and monuments of NYC in this efficient manner. But something unfortunate happened. It started raining. so all the passengers from the upper deck rushed to the covered deck below. The driver forcefully shooed all the non seated passengers off the bus in the middle of nowhere, under pouring rain. I understand that this is a safety guideline but there ought to be a more considerate way of doing things. I felt so sorry for those who were affected.
Gabrielle

Was too long sitting in traffic. Too much filler music on guided tour. How about educating us on all the gorgeous architecture, the beautiful churches? There was plenty more to talk about. And you really dont see many of the sights from the bus. A bit misleading. 2 of our headsets were static. Not worth the money.

We originally booked tickets for Sun evening but on arriving the weather was bad and told no view so we were easily able to change to another time.We changed to Tue 10am ,the opening slot.When we arrived at 9.50am there was already a huge queue down the street.We weren't sure whether to join it or go to the front...several other groups had the same confusion.We were allowed to go straight in as had early tickets but only because we asked..it's not very clear.Once inside there was already another large queue for security!We were abit limited for time due to all the queuing so rushed through the museum part which did look really interesting about how the building was constructed.Once at the top the view is awesome ..the lift is so fast up the 87 floors!It's all very organized,some of the staff are abit abrupt but they are trying to keep everyone moving along I guess.Large gift shop on the way out .

Loved all of it. Exceptional tour. The only thing that could be improved is the information on where to queue when first arriving. The man on the door didn't make it clear, then got cross when folks where getting it wrong. But it didn't spoil our tour of the building. And it's def best done at night. The view was incredible.

The courtesy and kindness of the staff to begin with. They guided us in the correct directions, because it can be a bit confusing as to which way to go at first. But then....wow! What an experience. The views are absolutely incredible. It was quite windy on the 86th floor, so when the wind gets a bit much, there is an enclosed deck a couple of stories down that offer wonderful views. The gift store is your one stop shop for everything you want. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, thank you!

Excellent displays Wide-ranging variety of artists and art forms The crowd was moderate - enough people to give off a vibe of excitement, but not so many that it was hard moving around, reading captions/explanations, and getting some up-close views of the work Easy access to stairs and elevators Exciting to see in-person some works we have only encountered in books or via video

time to get inside to the main event took way too long. i thougt i was at disney world, not what I was expecting or cared for.. once inside the main area, everything was fine..but the lines getting to this main even was just too long and too slow for my taste

I could have spent all day on the observation deck. This experience was amazingly breathtaking. The only downside was when trying to leave. The line to exit was wrapped around twice with no clear beginning or end. There were so many people you really could not move. In the event of an emergency, it could have ended poorly. Establishing a better exit strategy will make this experience even more magical than it already was.

The access point was not clearly marked, lines to go up and down were too long, and the observation deck too crowded to enjoy. This is a recipe for sowing bad behavior among customers, and we saw that, too. We will not come back or recommend this activity to anyone else.

Seeeing the Empire State was amazing. I think it's slightly overpriced, whilst we were there8( of us) We all wanted a drink and I found the drinks and gifts completely overpriced. X

Not your fault but weather spoilt it , also could not walk on glass floor , loud school parties which I was not expecting, apart from the extra payment to climb , there didn't see much to do unlike ESB , Summit and World trade , it needs something else for the money I paid

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE VIEW OF NYC, the attraction starts in the elevator, I thought the projections on the walls were really cool, a mixture of technology and nostalgia. I also really liked the service and the organization, but it was a shame that the day was cloudy and the scenery was a bit spoiled. I'll definitely be back.

It's a great way to cover the world famous sights and monuments of NYC in this efficient manner. But something unfortunate happened. It started raining. so all the passengers from the upper deck rushed to the covered deck below. The driver forcefully shooed all the non seated passengers off the bus in the middle of nowhere, under pouring rain. I understand that this is a safety guideline but there ought to be a more considerate way of doing things. I felt so sorry for those who were affected.

There was too many people, maybe you should put some time limit. Because everyone wants to take a picture and to walk, to see the city from the rooftop. But there was a lot of people at same time on same place. We were not able to take a photo. Maybe time limit will solve this problem. Time limit of one hour

This was a great experience. Views are breath taking and there was no rushing you away. We could take out time to take in the views and get some pictures. Went at sunset and it was busy and plenty of people who didn't understand the concept of queuing for certain locations. The outside deck is on one corner but you can get inside views of the whole 360 degree surroundings. Longest queue was to get down but even that went quick quick. Can definitely recommend

Was too long sitting in traffic. Too much filler music on guided tour. How about educating us on all the gorgeous architecture, the beautiful churches? There was plenty more to talk about. And you really dont see many of the sights from the bus. A bit misleading. 2 of our headsets were static. Not worth the money.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Incredible Experience at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt** Our visit to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views of New York City that took our breath away. The immersive experience, combining art, architecture, and technology, created a truly unique atmosphere that we won't soon forget. The observation deck offers unparalleled 360-degree views of the city, and the mirrored rooms added a surreal, almost magical quality to the experience. Each level provided something new and exciting, from the glass floor to the open-air terrace. The staff was friendly and informative, ensuring we got the most out of our visit. Whether you're a local or a tourist, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is a must-see attraction that offers an unforgettable perspective on the city. Highly recommended!

Early afternoon visit with clear skies. It made for breathtaking views and unforgettable photos. The activities were just as great. The floating balloons, the faces on panoramic screens... Too bad about the wait to take pictures in the air. But that in no way detracts from the pleasure of this activity.

The whole experience was so well organized. And so unique! The excitement started in the elevator, and continued through to the reflection room, the sphere room, and the levitation room! And the outdoor deck provides an alternative, peaceful, end to the experience! The unique experience would I believe put it "a level above" any other usual observation deck experience.
