I had booked the Grey Line Hop On, Hop Off Double Decker Bus tour for 4 female adults during our stay in New York. After reading reviews for both Grey Line and City Sights, I chose Grey Line. We bought the 72 Hour pass. Unfortunately it was really cold and rainy while we were there (April 26, 27, 28). It... More

My daughter and I were in New York in March 2012 for our first visit to the Big Apple. We decided to purchase a two-day hop on hop off tour to guide us through the City and give us an idea as to where we would like to spend some time. We took the uptown tour once and the downtown... More

It was our first time in New York and wanted to see as much of it as we could in a week. Bought a 3 day ticket on the bus and didn't we pack a lot in! Excellent value for money. I would recommend it as a great means of getting around the city. Choose your route, find the right... More

Tried the uptown trip. Guide appeared hungover. He needed a map to work out where he was, got street names wrong, kept telling us all the places he could not afford to live (I cant afford to live on 5th Ave either bro) & kept soliciting for tips. However this was a slick professional performance compared to the down town... More

we did the 72 hour loop tour, which is great value for money and no aching feet.lots of stops if you want to get of.the brookly day tour wasn,t very good but the brooklyn night tour was worth it just to see manhatten light up in it,s glory. the staff where friendly and new thier history.

The good bits; great way to see the city, the tour guides know their stuff, plenty of stops. The bad bits; constantly going on about tips, queing, finding a seat on the top, afternoon wasted on the Brooklyn Tour. The Brooklyn guide had a droning voice which actually sent me to sleep and the bus had a Perspex roof which... More

We got a 48 hour hop on-hop off ticket. Went from times square to downtown, the guide on the bus kept talking about how important tipping is, and how his family is from Denmark...YAWN. So we get to Battery Park where they also start the Brooklyn tour bus. They said the tour is about 1.5 hours long. BUT..they dont mention... More

Everyone from the men selling the tour on the street corner to the actual guide that rides the bus and the bus drivers were all very nice and helpful. We were able to see the whole city in just a day and a half!
