Within 5 yards of the hotel door on our first morning we were set upon by several people selling us tour bus tickets, having already decided it was something we were going to do it wasn't an issue and we went with the friendly chap in the yellow jacket from City Sights. He may've upsold somewhat as we also ended... More

I never usually go online to give a compliment, but my recent experience was so good, I just had to. My family and I traveled to NY last weekend. We had bought our hop-up, hop-off bus tickets online, and had to go to Madame Tussaud's to redeem the actual tickets. When we got there, there was a huge line, which... More

We went to New York city 2 weeks ago (May 2013) and booked the All-Around-City-Tour for 54$. We didn´t have much time to do all 6 Tours, so when we picked up our tickets at the CitySights NY-office, we asked the staff if he can recommend which tours we should do. He was so nice and tried to make us... More

There are several site-seeing bus tours in NYC. We went with City Sights because theirs was the first agent we encountered on the street. Agents for the companies stand on corners early in the day to capture tourists as they come out of the hotels in the morning. We were interested in the $54.00 48hour hop-on-hop-off tour. The street agent,... More

Friends and I had reservations hat we made more than a month before our date of May 10, 2013. No one knew where it was. We had directions but they didn't seem to be getting us anywhere and the 5 people we asked along the way were absolutely no help. We finally learned we had stop walking on the pier... More

Workers were cordial, HOWEVER... If it rains, you're doomed. If it's cold, you're doomed. My husband & I went on the Night Tour on May 5, 2013. We had to sit on the top deck. I had selected this tour because, the picture I saw on an ad showed a bus with seating on two levels. Bottom level appeared to... More

I was one of the Mom's chosen for the Live's New You in New York makeover. This tour was a gift from the Live with Kelly and Michael show. This was our first time in New York City and we wanted to see some sights, so they arranged this tour for me, my husband and my son. We were very... More

We did the 72 hr package tour, but couldn't finish it all due to weather and fatigue. Buses were dirty, and had no cover for rain or heaters as described on the website, but you surely saw everything. The wait for the harbor cruise was longer than I expected and uncomfortable, but the cruise itself was great. There was live... More

We had watched the buses loading from Penn Penn Penn Station where was where we had been approached by a competitor for $30. We didn't see his buses at all, but... More

Prior to visiting NY, in review of the reviews for the on and off bus tour City Sights had a better review than the Greyline bus. The price was the same for the both, so tha was not the issue. We took advantage of the 2 day tour (48 hours) and it worked out well. We never had to wait... More
