Amazing tour and cool tour guide big shout to Cici and driver greg.
Had a great time with Zizi and the driver Greg.
Yo and Fang were such a fun tour guide
Our evening tour this past Friday with Shelly and Chen was a great way to start our NYC vacation! Shelly was an excellent guide sharing historical and fun facts, photo opportunities as well as tips for tourist! She was engaging and seemed to enjoy her time with us. Chen drove us like an expert through Mid-town traffic across the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn and back. I recommend this tour.
Dawane and Sergio were awesome telling history about each building overall a great time and each place very funny very kind
Great experience with great guide
The day time get on/hop off bus was alright. We were not given headphones or asked if it was our first time on the bus. The people on the streets trying to sell tickets for this were not very helpful and were very pushy. When dropped off at a location, driver never indicated where the sight was or pointed us in any direction, just simply dropped off. Buses were fairly crowded, some times the top was completely full. Waiting for the next bus to arrive was not every 10 minutes, I'd say more like every 15-20 minutes. The night tour was amazing. Tour guide, Rick, was amazing and funny. We were given headphones for the night tour but wasn't needed as we could clearly hear the tour guide. I definitely recommend the night tour!!! You don't get off on the night tour so it was relaxing and informational. The day tour is better if you want to sight see and not do as much walking.
Excellent tour, we had the opportunity to watch parts of the city that we didn’t see in the day tour, totally worth it. Our guide was Aaron and the driver Miguel.
We never saw Little Italy, or The Lincoln Center. It rained. We were inside a stuffy bus with poor ac or air circulation. Thankfully it stopped raining and went back out on the deck and saw a beautiful sunset. But overall not really what I was expecting.
NY at night is beautiful & this tour did justice. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & shared information about every location we crossed.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed seeing New York illuminated at night and that the tour delivered such a memorable experience. It’s great to know your guide’s knowledge and commentary helped bring each location to life along the way. Florin @ BigBusTours
