We bought the All Around Town Tour which gave us access to all of their NY tours. Most of the guides on the buses are great. They bring their own personalities and experiences into the commentary which adds a lot of depth to the tour. Some of the guides however really should look at other ways to earn a living.... more

I would just about recommend citysights ny - ill list my experience below and you can decide for youself. An agent in timesquare sold us the $86 package. This included (seperate tours) downtown, uptown, downtown@night, circle-line (boat round manahatton edge), statue of liberty, the basic access to empire state. He took us across time sqaure and we joined a massive... more

We were in NYC on a daytrip from Virginia on Sat, Dec. 5. I had purchased tickets online about a week before the trip so I had the vochure. I saw several employees for the tour on the street trying to sell tickets to those that hadn't purchased any yet. I went up to a couple of them and they... more

I booked a trip through City Sights NY and 4 days before the tour they called and said the time posted on their site was an error. I informed them that the correct time interfered with other reservations we had and I requested to cancel. I wrote and email to which they responded, "all refund requests must be made in... more

Our last day was completely ruined by the rudest staff member ever. I had purchased 3 helicopter rides at our hotel and travelled to the stop nearest the helicopter pad. I asked a Citysights seller for directions to the pad and once he realised I had already bought my tickets and that he therefore wasn't going to make a sale,... more

We recently spent 3 days in New York City. We had read about CitySights Buses and decided to purchase a 3 day pass. It was one of the worse decisions we made. The buses do not run every 15 minutes as advertised. They abruptly stopped the tour about 12 blocks from where we needed to get off. We never could... more

Outside Penn Station, we were approached by some guys in bright yellow jackets with City Sights Tour logos on them. Since we had never been to New York City before, we thought this might be a good way to get around the city and see the sights. Wrong. We especially wanted to see Times Square, so we "hopped" on the... more

We obtained our tickets on-line before arriving, but then had to join a very long line at Madame Tousard's that took a half-hour just to pick up our boarding passes - only 2 agents on the desk. We experienced 3 tour guides: one had good things to say, but her microphone was faulty and hard to understand; the second spent... more

Bus tour quality depends entirely on the guide. Downtown day was great. Uptown day was worse than useless. Night tour was day tour at night - doesn't tell you that !! Circle line trip was good. Empire state ticket a rip off. It only gets you to 86 floor so you have to queue a million times to upgrade to... more
