We had the 3 day pass and plotted which things we would do for each day. Traffic was terrible, but according to the drivers it was not yet the holiday traffic. Because it took so long for the bus to arrive at each stop, we could only accomplish 1 or 2 sights each day. Then, after visiting a site, the lines for the bus were extremely long and one time our wait was over 2 hours in freezing temps for the bus. Many buses came past us, but only had a few open seats. With a 5pm deadline to catch the bus (as announced by the tour directors), the was little time available to sightsee. My biggest complaint was that on Wednesday, before Thanksgiving Day, we took the bus to the history museum. The bus could not take us all the way to the museum and we were dropped on the far side of Central Park and told we must walk the distance through Central Park to get to the museum. Once on the other side of Central Park, we learned that the streets were closed and we would have to go several blocks out of our way in one direction, take the blocks back in the other direction on another street, and then we could reach the museum. After more than an hour of walking, we finally reached the history museum only to learn that it was closed for the day due to the parade balloon preparation. Then, to return to the bus, our route required us to walk several blocks out of our way, then back through Central Park, then the distance back to the bus stop. We walked until we could walk no more and then just hired an Uber. I think the best use for this bus is to simply ride it around the city and view the sites. Since we rode several different busses during our 3 day pass, we experienced several different tour guides. Most were good, but some felt it necessary to consistently complain or have a negative comment about every site they told us about. I typically take bus tours in every major city that I visit. This one was my least favorite.
