City Sightseeing New YorkReviews of citysightseeingnewyork.com

I recommend this to everyone I talk to. It's such a great deal and a great way to see a lot of sights in the city.

In my overall experience I'd say that it was ok, not excellent or great, there were good things but some others that didn't worked that well for example they provide you with a set of headphones for you to listen whatever the tour guide says, however this is the only cannel that Works, the channels they say that are available in other languages is not available. They don't make all the stops and sometime they get off route. I was expecting to get into the last bus that was heading uptown in NYC and they said that the last bus went out at 5 pm however I have waited since 4:30 and it never came by.

It was hit or miss because some of the tour guide speakers had such strong accents that the speaking through the microphone into the headphones was very hard to understand at times.

We were sold the wrong ticket in New York for the 911 museum. When we got to the museum we were told the ticket was valid there, only for the memorial. We had to pay another $50 to get in. When we went to the City Sight Seeing office to get our money back and we were told it wasn't their fault because it was a street vendor that sold us the City Sight Seeing Ticket. We were Told to write up a complaint and we would be contacted within a week. After a week we didn't hear back so I emailed. Still no response over 3 weeks later

It was a nice cruise. I recommend everybody to have this experience in New York.

The price was great for all the activities that I got to choose from. It was nice to pick my attractions. My favorite bus tours were downtown and Brooklyn. The tour guide from the Bronx tour was not friendly. The best tour guide was Jose from the Brooklyn tour. I did not like the advertisement on the windows of the double decker bus. It restricts the view. Other than that everything was very good.

We bought a 48 hour pass for our recent trip to New York - it was a good way to get our bearings and start seeing where everything was. We did get stuck in a lot of traffic but, being New York, we expected that. Pros: Our first tour guide was absolutely hilarious. She really made the trip exciting and brought New York to life for us. Had every tour guide been at this level, we would have given the experience a much higher rating! The boat tour was also excellent and took us past some amazing views. Cons: My only real negative (other than the traffic) was that some of the tour guides weren't very good and it was pure luck as to who you got. One of our tour guides (an older gentleman) was actually quite offensive in some of his jokes. We like to think we've got a sense of humour but everyone on that bus felt very awkward. Another tour guide sat in the front seat and didn't say anything for most of the trip. They do push tips very hard and we felt quite pressured when we were getting off the bus. And they really do need to send more buses towards the end of the day - they get full pretty quickly. But overall the buses are in good condition and the routes are good for seeing a lot of New York that you wouldn't usually see.

Very difficult to find the stop signs where the buses pick up the people.
