Big Bus Tours New York Anmeldelser 4.568

We did the red, the yellow, the blue tours and the circle line.
They’re all great 👍

I found two of your tour guide I had racial discrimination. They should have better lessons.

the bus tour was great and so informative! We did meet a very unhelpful member of staff that served us our bus and attraction tickets at the madame tussauds off in NY had had to go back the next day as she gave us incorrect information but then we got the appropriate information and was sorted. However the weather was forecast for heavy rain one afternoon and they just simply stopped running the buses without even putting anything on their app so we had to walk 10 miles back to hotel as didnt want to spend more money as we had paid for 3 day bus tour pass.

Best Tour in Toren. Was great.
Best regards Georg

We loved Big Bus Tours. We were able to see so much in just one day. Friendly staff and booking was easy. Will definitely do again.

La première chose à faire à New York c’est de prendre le big bus forfait de deluxe. On voit la ville d’un bout à l’autre. Coût moins cher que de se déplacer en taxi pour voir les attraits touristiques. Je le recommande.

We went on the downtown red route 3 days in a row as a way of getting to attractions and on the uptown route once. I liked each of the commentators and each offered slightly different information. The commentator on August 30th (I forget her name) on one of the last blue route runs of the day was not as good, using poor grammar and she seemed bored with the sites. It would have been nice if the routes ran a bit later given the length of daylight in the summer. Most of the drive ers and guides were very nice and helpful, providing directions to attractions. My only complaint was with one guide on a red route bus (bus AK114, license plate 36646-BB, at about 5:00 pm on August 30th). We had just been told by a red route guide that the blue bus would pick us up one block north, so we walked to the next block and we saw a Big Bus with the door open and I stepped on and waited by the door to show our tickets and others were also approaching the bus. The guide came walking towards the door yelling "HEY GET OFF! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING? THIS IS TBE LAST STOP, THE BLUE BUS STOPS BEHIND US. GET OUT!" I REPLIED that he could be polite about it and walked behind the bus where a big bus pulled in a couple of minutes later. This man should not be working on a tour bus.

Good for gaining knowledge about the city but depends on the speaker. One was great but the next was hard to understand. Lots of stops along the way to let people off and on.

I booked the big bus with attractions before I went in holiday. This allowed me to plan what attractions I wanted to see over the number of days I was visiting New York. When I arrived at Madame Tussaud’s it was easy to retrieve the voucher for the bus & the attractions were went to me in email, where I could either download it to the big bus app or retrieve it via the email link. Getting into the attractions was easy. I cannot fault it. Over the 3 days the main tour guide that stood out was John Harkins, what a character.

Everyone was very friendly with the exception of one elderly gentleman on the morning red route who was very annoying and abrupt. The gentleman who we had first contact with was very friendly and accommodating and remembered us every day. Mark W was a driver on the red line this morning and the gentleman giving us the commentary were both excellent and a very good example of what an employee should be in the hospitality business.

Our tour director was great and very knowledgeable. The reason I gave it a three is because of the traffic. I know the company has no control over that, but it was a real downer. It seemed we stopped at every single light in Manhattan! Being that I tend to become car sick with heat and stopping and starting, this was not a fun experience! Other than that, it was alright not a long wait the bus stop and the stops were at convenient places.

Great tour, easy to find stops and great tour guides!

long wait for the bus at the stop. No AC at lower side.

Enjoyed the 2-days of touring NYC. Sitting up top is the best. Some guides were better than others. The Sunday afternoon around 4:30pm traffic was not moving, the bus was packed and sat below. Air conditioning not "on" or "not working". Crazy hot and uncomfortable - everyone upset! Windows didn't open - worst 60 mins ever!

Great tour guide, moved along at a good pace. Was well worth the money. Will recommend to others.

A day in New York.
The morning went fine but come evening, we waited through three buses before we were able to get on. Only 3-4 people were able to get on at a time. The third bus we opted out of due to only being able to sit on the bottom and no AC. The fourth bus we got on but had to sit on the bottom and could not see anything out of the windows. The guide said every bus would be just a full. It was a HUGE waste of money. They do not have enough buses running in the later afternoon/evenings.

First time to NYC and this was definitely the best way to get around. Plenty of stop to choose from and ideally chosen. Boat ride was awesome also. TopView was another option around town but they were on every corner pushing pushing to buy tickets. Made them look desperate. I don't like pushy people/companies so was very impressed with BigBus. Not to say they weren't on corners also but they had signs and let people come to them. I am so glad I chose BigBus Tours prior to my trip out. Every employee was pleasant and more than helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend BigBus to anyone visiting NYC for the first time or even if its not and you want an easy way to get around. We did the 48 hour tour and if I ever go back to NYC I will definitely use BigBus Tours.
