Value for money. Saw so much of the city. Darius was the first tour guide we met and he was by far the best. Knowledgeable funny entertaining and engaging. He really did a fantastic job

Traffic is awful in the city (Christmas time). It took an hour to go from Times Square to Battery Park. It was so stop and go because drivers cut the bus off several times. Not a fun ride maybe other times are better to go but I doubt it. We used Uber instead. We have used hop on off in other areas and have been satisfied.

Good Morning mich1432, We thank you for your feedback. Although New York City traffic can be a challenge at times the standard travel time to Battery Park from Times Square is approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. Nonetheless, we understand how important your time is when on vacation and we extend our sincerest apologies your experience did not meet your expectations during your stay in New York. We hope this one experience does not deter you from riding with Big Bus in the future and please do not hesitate to email our New York customer service team at [email protected] should you need further assistance or have any further questions. Sincerely, BBTNY
