A must do!
Great trip around New York at night seeing the sights. Very informative guide…brilliant that he was British and had very good knowledge of not only the landscape but also the history of New York. The stop by Dumbo and Timeout Market was the highlight for us. Never would have found that on our own. Overall a great experience and would recommend to all.
Not as Advertised
The bus is not open air where you can see lights at night. It’s more of a large passenger van with an enclosed roof. The windows are tinted and dirty obstructing your view. The majority of time you are just sitting in traffic. Your better off taking the open air two story bus if you want to see lights at night.
Tour started right on...
Tour started right on time! Grace was our tour guide, she was very engaging and pleasant. Tour was well organized with stops in between for pictures and sightseeing. Highly recommended for seeing NYC by night!
Tour bus is not marked
We showed up 35 minutes early due to fortunate traffic conditions. The tour bus was there but had no markings to indicate that it's the right tour or even a tour bus. The driver parks and exits the vehicle and disappears. There's no sign or placard or docent person to indicate if you're standing in the right place or not. About 5 minutes before start time, a guy appears and asks your name and checks you off the list on his phone. Finally he opens the bus door and allows people to get on. I get it - diesel fuel is expensive and idling is against the law. Another person shows up and then the tour guide shows up. They dump a bunch of water bottles into a cooler with no ice. Why bother with the cooler? The trip goes very well after the herky jerky start. The best part, of course, is the stop at DUMBO. The worst part is there's no stop in LIttle Italy at the San Genero street experience. A few less drive by buildings and time for a Little Italy stop would greatly improve the night tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus seats were very comfortable and, if you're able, you can recline them a little. Overall, a very worth while tour.
Pleasant bus ride with great views
I enjoyed the NYC at night bus tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and took time to answer questions. It was a good way to see the city at night without having to walk it which would've taken a lot of time. We had a nice stop in Brooklyn that was right on the water with great views of NYC and the Brooklyn Bridge. The price was reasonable. I feel it was a good value for what you got.
