We were bombarded on arrival at Times Square to buy tickets. They tried to get us to buy the whole package( boat trip, night time, uptown, downtown) we had limited time so only wanted the uptown and downtown routes, but looking at the price we paid didn’t seem any different from the full package! We were on top deck for downtown tour, it was a hot day and we spent a lot of time (10 mins in one case) sitting at stops so perhaps not the best choice of seating. The narrative was very poor and not informative, and in many cases came after we’d passed the sight. The uptown tour was a little better, with more information being offered, plus we sat inside which was a little more comfortable, although on both buses the seats were very uncomfortable to sit on for the duration of the round trip (we didn’t hop off due to lack of time).
