We bought at this company because you recomended, but they dosn't give the information or have nice people. One day the bus get stopped on Manhattan Bridge and we have to wait without air condition or anything more than an hour for other one that day we missed all the museums and the liberty boat because we get late, and the guide said that the next day we can use big bus b to get to the liberty cruise, because of the problem with the bus. Next day the men doesn't wanted to listen and wh ern we explain he get apart and said that he won't even listen to us, and my husband with me and our two kids have to stay there without transportation that we paid already. Then we got to the liberty cruise and they say that only we can go on the 10:30 or 4:30 cruise. We said to the big bus b man that was in there that the man who sold us the 3 day package doesn't told us and in map either not says times, but he said that every day happens that and he was tired to tell the company to say there workers to told all the information when someone wanted to buy. Then we said that he has to call someone, but we doesn't have more time to loose, and he says no and that if we insist he will call the police and get us in jail. I got angry and said to him that we are going to call the police if he doesn't give us a number to call and then he gave us a number. I called and someone named Monica answear, but she said that they are not doing anything and I have to pay usd 10 more per person and then the company will see if they refund us that. Obviously we went then for the refund, because we already paid the cruise when we bought the hole package that they offer, but they doesn't even listen to us. On the brochure says that we have to oay if we want and upgrade to the other cruises because they are a 1 and a half and 2 hours ones, and we have the 1 hour cruise, but does't says special schedules or any schedules. When we was on the pier, we saw more than 30 people that were in the same situation, so is something that they are doing always to all one. I don't know how TripAdvisor recomended that type of company, they are tourist thieves !

Good Afternoon Fiorella V, Firstly, please know we care about our staff and our passengers, international and local alike, we pride ourselves in operating a compassionate and ethical business, any thing less of that is going against our core values. We do have A/C as well as check our buses before leaving for the days service, but sometimes we experience issues during hotter days. We do understand your time is important, and unfortunately, we cannot control the NYC traffic. We do our best to monitor our routes and show our customers the best sites while still moving efficiently. In regards to the cruise, please be aware you have 5 days from the date of purchase to utilize the cruise and you can take the cruise from two piers 83 and 16. Departure times are posted on website, app and on the paper voucher provided to you when purchasing the tickets. With that being said, you shouldn't have been treated in that manner and provided the information. Any behavior that is not professional and kind is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. As per your conversation with Monica, in respect to partial reimbursement, please contact us at [email protected] and provide your information so we may resolve the issue promptly. We apologize that your experience wasn’t all you had expected and hope that you will give us a chance to redeem ourselves the next time you visit NYC. Kind Regards, BBTNY

Worked well, queues for night bus but staff got us through well enough. Ticket office was in Madame Tussaud’s which we didn’t realise from our vouchers! Really good way to see the sights of NYC
