Excellent value for money. I went with 48 hr hop on off bus plus two attractions (empire state/liberty cruise) and entry to all attractions was seamless. Bus were very frequent, so if one’s packed then I didn’t have to wait long for another one. Staff at stops and drivers were excellent.

Be careful to remember which cruise line & bus you're going on. There are at least 3 different companies doing the same thing. NOT this line but another company at Battery Park tried to tell me I bought the 4 hour cruise & had to buy the 1 hour cruise there if I didn't want to do the 4 hour one. When I looked at my ticket online, I bought the 1 hr cruise, but with a different company down at the Piers, not Battery Park. The other companies are not always nice and work to get your money. The worst I found was at Battery Park. They were not this line but they were working together to scam people into buying more tickets. The guy at the entrance of the park acted like you couldn't go into the park unless you showed them your ticket too. The guys handling the bus tours were all very good though & helped direct me to the right line for the bus tour I bought. I loved the bus tour and my only wish was that I could find the places for pick up/drop off easier after I'd walked around. They aren't exceptionally well documented on the signs.

This is a great way to see all the sights around NYC! I just wish the buses ran until 6:00pm instead of stopping at 4:00pm!! We ended up having to find our way back on foot after our cruise.

Purchased the Big Bus summer sizzler tour which included a bus night tour, hop on hop off (48 hour) day bus tour and a river cruise that was 1.5 hours long. It was a great value and included all the main highlights that are a must see for a New York visit! Highly recommend especially to first time visitors to New York. The Big Bus open top is the best view for pictures!!!
