Big Bus Tours is no good
Ryan_S
, Aug 2022
The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. The buses from Big Bus tours left a lot to be desired. While waiting in a line of 50 or so people at the Battery Park stop. No less then 3 different buses came by with no seating in the bottom of the bus because they didn’t have the air conditioning. That extended our stay in the area by 45 minutes which was not pleasant because it was very hot that day.
Excellent experience

Great tour bus but they need to list last running time
Lynn_N
, Mar 2022
The bus itself is wonderful and the stories are relevant and interesting.
BIG Disappointment was that I purchased the uptown and downtown. We got on the downtown the minute it opened because uptown didn’t open until 1130. We got in front of the Metropolitan Museum at 2 PM and apparently we missed the last bus. Serious? There’s nothing that describes win the last bus comes it just says that They stop running at 4 PM. They should definitely list a last stop time somewhere. Other than that everything was great and the Statue of Liberty ticket was perfect and easy
Ibrahim is the best!!

This experience was great! The stops aren't the easiest to find, so you want to make sure get back on the bus where you get dropped off.
The audio tour is good too. We had a little trouble understanding how the ferry tour worked, but Ibrahim came to the rescue and answered all of our questions. He spent extra time with us printing out tickets we needed and gave us some pointers on how to get where we needed even faster. Without Ibrahim I'd rate this a 4, but because of his helpfulness, Im giving a 5!
Unable to use Empire State Building portion
Debbie_C
, Jul 2021
Did not give 5 stars because we were not able to use the Empire State Building portion due to the inability to find a Big Bus representative after 4:30 pm to print the tickets. A Big Bus representative advised us not to print a reservation because it was better to view the City at night and we would have a better chance of not missing the reservation time if we waited to print the tickets at the end of the day; we were told we could come back to the exact location before 5:00, however when we arrived at 4:30 pm, we were not able to find a representative that had the equipment needed to print our tickets. We went to Empire State Building and they were not able to redeem anything with the QR code. A greeter from the Empire State Building actually walked us to a corner near the Empire State Building where there should have been a Big Bus representative-we waited over 20 minutes and never saw anyone. The Big Bus was great and the Statue of Liberty was awesome….the price I paid for the Empire State Building for 5 people was approx $150 and was a total loss.
Fantastic !

Overall okay, depends on tour guide
Shailen D

Best way to explore new York. The only challenges we had were bus malfunction twice in a 3 day trip. But were able to change the bus in a reasonable time. The blue line on 8/15/18 starting around 3:30 pm took short cut and didn't let us get down at Madison square. Walked to Penn Station from Times Square. I think overall a good experience. One thing I would suggest is please do enough background checks for the tour promotes on the street, a couple of them were annoying and rude to people with other nationalities.
weniger als erwartet

Hop on Hop off Bustour war gut. Insbesondere die eingeschlossene Nachttour ist ein muss.
Jetzt kommen die 'aber':
- man muss erst umständlich das Ticket in Papierform nahe Times Square abholen
- die Warteschlangen zum Einsteigen waren am Wochenende katastrophal
- Fähre zur Freiheitsstatue war im Preis inbegriffen, aber nicht der Besuch der Freiheitsstatue selbst. War etwas unklar in der Beschreibung, sonst hätte ich es extra buchen können - nur vorab möglich, nicht vor Ort.
- wir waren drei Tage dort und trotzdem hat die Zeit nicht gereicht alle eingeschlossenen Touren zu machen. Achtung manche Touren sind eingeschlossen, finden aber nur zweimal am Tag statt.
- Ticket hätte man auch vor Ort kaufen können - es laufen genügend Anbieter auf der Straße rum
Pas exceptionnel

L'attraction Statue de la Liberté ne comprend que le Ferry mais pas l'accès à l'intérieur du monument.
La traduction en français de la visite à bord du bus (via écouteurs) ne tient pas du tout compte de la circulation donc aucune synchronisation entre ce que vous voyez et ce qu'on vous commente.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
