Reviews

Tour was excellent for a overview of the city and the interesting points. The tour guides were also excellent. They were knowledgable and presented very well

Paul H., Australia, 09-2008

Very nice I would recommend this Gray line tour packet to all.

Jerry A., United States, 09-2008

It was very easy to redeem the tickets and find the pickup and dropoff points. The Brooklyn tour was not worth the price and some of the guides were just OK. Buses were always readily available and we never had a problem getting a seat right away.

Paul S., United States, 08-2008

The only problem we had was with the girl in the Tour office when we got out tickets. She gave us the wrong time for both the night tour (started at 6:00pm.. she told us 6:30) and the all-day tour (started at 8am; she told us 7:30am and that we should be there by 7:15). We were fortunate not to miss the night tour as everything we had read said 6:00 so we showed up then. The bus left promptly at 6:00. On the Hop on-Hop off bus, they were very consistent in showing up at the stops right at every 15 minutes. This made it easy for us to plan our stops and how long to stay. Only once did we have to get off the bus and wait for another when the tour guide talked so fast that we couldn't understand her. The others were terrific!.. and funny.

Linda A., United States, 07-2008

These tours provided us with alot of interesting information and facts. We did a 48 hour loop, but I think we should have done 72 hours. Next time!! Our family loved New York City and did not want to return home.

Diane B., United States, 07-2008

We fully utilized the tour company's offerings. As expected, most of the guides and drivers were excellent (some better than others, with all but one very knowledgeable and understandable). We had one instance where the guide's condescending tone was a bit put-offish and it was also the only one difficult to understand (combination Bronx accent and poor PA system). The two best were a college student and a college math professor (go figure). All of the drivers are to be commended. I'm a professional bus driver myself and was impressed with the safe operation of the vehicles on crowded city streets.

Michael O., United States, 05-2008

We purchased 3 tickets for the Classic Tour. It was great. Everyone was helpful. Also enjoyed the night tour. I suggest sitting on top level about mid-point to see all sights that the guide is pointing out.

annetta v., United States, 05-2008

The tour by itself was fine and some of the guides were good others not so good, some were not friendly but because you can go of the bus and hop on later on it is ok. The thing that made us upset is the fact that one has tickets for the statue of liberty but has to book to go on there two days in advance, nobody told us from your company to do so, so we turned up and could not go on, after queing up for hours and the ferry took time , in fact a waste of time and money, and very disapointing !!!!!!!!!!!

Marianne K., Netherlands, 05-2008

I purchased the 48 all loops tour including the empire state and ferry. all of the guides on the buses were fantastic and very knowledgeable. I didn't even use my ferry ticket because of the queues.

Katrina T., Australia, 04-2008

We were a party of four and all really enjoyed the tour experience, we were only in New York for four days and felt that we would never have seen all that we wanted to without the tour. Thank you.

Kimberlea S., United Kingdom, 04-2008

Ricky B., United States, 12-2007

The only thing was the bus had no roof and we were cold

Leeann M., United Kingdom, 11-2007

The tour guides were great- drivers were terrifying- but as is all driving in NY city. Getting on and off was easy but you were asked for donations at each point- we got on and off 10-12 times which made it a little pricey so keep lots of singles on hand. Great way to see the city- highly recommended.

Renee R., United States, 11-2007

Leah H., United Kingdom, 10-2007

An easy and great way to see New York

SHARON T., Canada, 09-2007

Great for navigating NYC with ease. Worth the time and cost. Some guides difficult to understand due to accents and poor sound system.

Karolyn T., United States, 06-2007

This is a must in NYC. The best think is you can really hop on and off anytime you feel like. If you decide you're about to drop dead shopping, just hop on, enjoy the wind on the roof top and listen to the tour guide. If the guide mumbles, or tells you stuff you're not interested in, just get out and catch the next one in just a few minutes with a better guide. Make sure you bring bottle of water on board and sun/wind protection if you want to enjoy the roof top option. Of course, if it's cold, just get in and enjoy the ride:) Certainly worth the money Blanka Czech Republic

blanka p., United States, 05-2007

Had a little bit of trouble redeeming online voucher for tour, but was able to eventually. The line for the first bus was REALLY long - I think we waited in line 45 minutes or so. After that, everything was great except for one guide who we couldn't understand because of her accent.
