We took buses and trains for over a hour to get to the boat only to find out it was closed for maintenance! This was our last night in NY and now was completely ruined with nothing else planned. Such a disappointment. I emailed them right away and still haven't heard back. I can't be leave we weren't notified before we went all the way there. DONT DO IT!!!!!!!

The frequency Big Bus Tour is very limited when compared to other bus tour companies. I will certainly stay away from Big Bus Tour

This was an excellent way to show a less than mobile elderly relative NYC. However, we paid for the one day WITH the Liberty Cruise. The cruise was unavailable due to maintenance. But we did not learn about this until after we arrived at the cruise terminal. It was a waste of time and money. Additionally, my MIL did not get to see the Statue of Liberty. She is 80 and this was likely her last opportunity.

Enjoyed seeing NYC while in the New York traffic on the upper-deck, waits at the bus stop locations and relearning how to read a city map. Especially enjoyed the cruise trip along the Hudson River. Won’t sit on top again - hard to hear the tour guide.

I would not recommend this bus company to an enemy. It was an awful experience from the beginning. We boarded at 42nd St after waiting and watching 4 or 5 other full buses come by and leave without picking anyone up. The line was huge when we arrived and we slowly made our way to the front. For entertainment we watched an employee yell at a customer because he couldn’t understand her. The bus is HOT. There is no shade and NO AC downstairs so it was not an enjoyable ride. We finally got off at the Brooklyn Bridge because we couldn’t take it anymore. We walked from there to the 911 memorial which wasn’t far. Afterwards we walked to Wall Street and hunted down another bus which took us to the Circle Line ship. When we arrived at the ship we were told that they could not accept our tickets because they did not say Circle Line on them. At this point I wanted blood. I finally was able to download the receipt on to my phone and show them the email I was sent by the bus company which they finally accepted so we got to take their tour which was MUCH better than the bus. After the boat cruise we were able to catch a different bus but had to sit downstairs which was like sitting in a sauna. Finally we arrived at the M&M store where were told to get off the bus and go wait in line for another bus to take us back to 42nd Street. That line was huge so we gave up and walked 11 blocks back to our hotel.

I enjoyed hopping on and off at certain destinations. The bus was available in short lengths of time from the hop off. My bad experience was the circle line cruise, know one told me that it left from a different location (not Battery Park) so I payed for an additional cruise because I missed the one I paid for.

Harry Valenciano, the bus juggler in the streets of NYC, history teacher, stand-up comedian and probably a good jazz singer with that voice. He had a story to fit many little things, but he also had his own story when it came to horribly inhuman things like 9/11. Actually he's in the wrong place as a bus driver, I think he has a lot more to tell and would even if he didn't have to drive the bus most of the time. He would definitely be the better tourist guide. For our first visit to NYC this was a must have during our stay.

Wanda was excellent-we didn’t do the Circle Line we did the Beast! 30 minute trip around Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan. Great experience to see Statue of Liberty up close without having to get off boat.

After the ESB, we had to wait close to 40 minutes. The guy kept saying 10 minutes. Then with full bus. 10 get off and 20 get on and the driver even yelled at the passengers who had boarded. It was a mess
