Hop on bus

Published on Sep, 2024

We were really looking forward to this ,the ride on the bus was only just over an hr ,alot shorter than advertised, we were giving headphones ,but very quiet made no sense ,I wouldn't do it again it was not as advertised

Package well worth it

Published on Aug, 2024

This package deal was completely worth it! Enjoyed the Downtown Loop, Empire State visit and Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry. Wanda at Big Bus NYC Stop 1 took care of booking our Empire and Ferry dates. Don’t bother using the online “manage your booking” for the Empire State. That online feature doesn’t work. Just book your Empire and Ferry at Stop 1. We enjoyed this package!

Fun times in NY

Published on Apr, 2024

Trip to Statue of Liberty, where the drivers were very informative of all the movie site locations that you can go see and visit

Great combo pack if short on time visiting NY

Published on Sep, 2023

MUST download the big bus app to get the satisfaction of the trip because it allows you to see the pick up/drop off stops & the attractions nearby as well as LIVE bus tracking to see when the next bus will arrive at your stop. The convenience of audio recording in common languages as well as headphones provided was great. The recording may not be as the same as your current location while riding the bus but that all depends on TRAFFIC. Don’t get mad if the recording is early/late compared to your current location. The bus drivers priority is our safety!! They can’t time their drive time and audio perfectly!! The audio quality was clear and informative with all the history of major landmarks in New York!! If you’re short on time, this is a must!! It’s a great combination pack ((big bus, Empire State Building, ferry to Statue of Liberty & Ellis island)) despite the drizzle while we were visiting during hurricane season , we had a good time & got to see everything we wanted.

Nice!

Kossivi Adjeyi should get a raise. Fantastic. The bus is clean and effective and a great way to travel. Good idea.
