City Sightseeing New YorkReviews of citysightseeingnewyork.com

Booked online and didn't have any difficulties getting into the bus although we thought we booked to the Brooklyn bridge only to find that we booked the downtown tour when we got to the bus.

This experience was recommended to us as a great way to be exposed to the city. Not so, for us. We spent over an hour and a half obtaining our tickets we bought online. Then, on the bus tour, the audio was at least a block or two off. We would hear about a site and then figure out the site being discussed was two blocks behind us. Would not recommend to anyone. You are better off on foot with a good map.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two days sight seeing. Reception desk and field personnel were very friendly. Guides in the buses and cruise were awesome. For a newcomer in Newyork this is a good opportunity to explore the historical city. Many congratulations and good luck!!!

It is a great option to move around instead of walking thru some parts that are good to see but not worth to walk by and to move from one area to another. Also is great the night tour, the bad thing is the weather, be prepared for a low temperatures / cold wind. The part we did not like we're the tour guides, some of them you could not understand them, another one seems he hated his work as well as tourists and also a bad thing was that the audio did not work most of the time so the people that did not speak English did not understand what they were saying or knew what they were looking at.

Having used City Sightseeing in Glasgow, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich and Paris we were really looking forward to the NYC tour; sadly we were disappointed. We had two day hop on and off tickets. Day 1 was great we headed downtown with interesting commentary and great views. Day 2 though was a whole different story - we waited over an hour and twenty minutes for an uptown bus tour! When it finally arrived the commentator was obviously not interested and only really spoke when asked direct questions by passengers. Such a disappointment.

The tour guides are actually very good, however the buses are awful. I took the tour in a rainy day and we had to stay on the lower deck but we were unable to see anything through the windows because they are covered with ads. it seems that this company is more interested in gaining money from the ads than from the tourists.

The on board tour guides are hugely inconsistent. Some barely say anything although, when approaching a stop they do talk for a minute or two about how they work for low wages and value tips etc!

We bought by internet and they did not send us the ticket. We arrived at the stop bus and lost one hour and taxi going to the office, because the ticket. In the office a one hundred file waiting.. It was horrible. Why they do not send the tickets by internet?
