What I liked about the bus tour - The commentary through the headphones was brilliant. The bus was very clean and The first 3/4 of the tour was really good taking in all the sights. What wasn’t as good was the last quarter driving fast all the way up at the side of the Hudson River. Nice to see it but not for all that way.

Würde ich im Vorfeld nicht mehr buchen. Es gibt unterschiedliche Anbieter, die dort Ihre City - Touren verkaufen wollen - BIG BUS ist aber der renommierteste. Da die Stadt eh an einem Verkehrschaos leidet, kann ich eher vorschlagen, die Metro zu nehmen. Ansonsten wurde bei der Bus Tour viel über die Kopfhörer erklärt und es hat auch Spaß gemacht. Leider hatten wir am zweiten und dritten Tag Regen, so dass die Busse unten stark frequentiert waren und somit voll - ist aber ein Einzelschicksal.

Nicht gefallen hat zB keine deutschen Erklärungen Abfahrtszeiten nur in der App nicht im Flyer nicht an den Haltestellen. Gefallen haben die Fotos der Haltepunkt im Internet.
