    Fun NYC Street Experience.

    Fun excursion. Not a sightseeing tour, but a NYC street experience with sights along the way. I love narrated trivia type tours. This tour gave some great info. I learned about the Hearst Building and the popular bathrooms at Bryant Park. Fun! We had two female hosts on the bus. They were cute and very engaging. They reminded me of the two singing gals on SNL. It’s a short tour, so easy to work in the schedule. A little pricey, but it’s a unique excursion. It’s a warm and comfortable ride. Good for wintertime.

    Would have been ok to take an hour tour for $20 but $80 per ticket is way overpriced. Not many holiday lights to see either.

    I think it was too expensive to go on this ride. Maybe half price would do but each to their own. The male host was good.

    Holiday Edition less fun than regular attraction

    , Dec 2019
    Not much "Holiday" in the Holiday Edition compared to regular attraction. Didn't even see as many places as we had on regular attraction about a year ago. And the bus was so uncomfortably hot all we could think about was getting off.

    Highly over rated. Poor entertainment. Windows on bus were filthy. Tour was 45 minutes late. Had to stand in line all of the time. Very disappointed for something rated so high.

    Fun, but meh?

    Jackie, Jules, driver, ushers...performers....everyone was great, but not sure it was really worth the cost. I know that everyone has to get paid, but for one hour of just a few tidbits of information and good performances...just a little disappointed. Again, the workers and performers were great, but just stuck at considering the ticket cost, time waiting, duration of event, and so forth. Thanks!
