We went on this tour over 2 days. We found that the couriers on the bus made all the difference to our enjoyment. The first one was called John Hawkins and he was absolutely great, full of information, funny, knowledgeable about everything. The others not bad, but he really shone! This is a fantastic way to get about New York and see all the main attractions, would recommend this tour to everybody.

Our second day in NY we boarded the Big Bus which was lead by a tour guide that provided us with ear phones to narrate the tour down to the Battery also known as South Manhattan. It was hot 90' degrees, and humid, and it sprinkled, so it was nice to ride and not waste our days dragging in the heat among the busy streets of NY. It was a double decker bus but unfortunately none of the buses had AC that was working. Our guides were funny and told interesting little stories about the buildings we saw, they made suggestions to get off to explore the museums, parks, restaurants, theatres and churches, and they knew the times of operation which I loved!. Three days really helped us get to know the city, by the fourth day we were able to get around on our own fairly well. Word of advice, we purchased out tickets from AAA prior, a savings of about $100. but there are many sales people on the main drag selling different combinations of tours.
