Review: The Big Bus Tour in New York City

I absolutely loved the Big Bus Tour in New York City. It’s the best way to go sightseeing in an open-top, hop-on hop-off, top-rated tour and explore the best New York attractions !

If this is your first-time visiting New York and you want to see all the top landmarks, this double-decker tour bus will take you there.

The Big Bus Tour in New York

You may be wondering if a hop-on hop-off bus is worth it. Absolutely, yes!

If you consider the time and money spent on transportation costs, waiting for buses, navigating the subway (which can be confusing for visitors), and getting from one point of interest to another, it is worth every dollar!

I had a great visit to New York City on Big Bus Tour. My goal was to show the city to some friends from Italy who were visiting the US for the first time.

Since we only had about two days to spend together, the hop-on hop-off was undoubtedly the best decision.

From our experience, we’ll answer commonly asked questions about the Hop-on Hop-off bus while visiting New York City.

Google Reviews

Why take the big bus tour in new york.

While seeing New York from the open-top deck of the double-decker bus, the city unfolded block by block with panoramic views from every angle.

As we traveled through the streets, the sights were unobstructed and new visual backdrops were revealed.

The towering skyscrapers and colorful billboards filled the air with excitement and as the cityscape continued to change, it gave a grand feeling to the experience.

I especially enjoyed being able to relax from the upper deck of the bus while taking in the energy of city scenes.

Because I also live in a large city, the rhythm felt familiar from the elevated vantage point .

Car horns were honking, crowds traversed through the streets and there was an endless hum of activity.

Best of all, the tour gave me the chance to interact with other travelers who were seeing New York while waiting for the tour to began.

We struck up conversations and exchanged stories, insights, and recommendations during our stay in New York.

How Much is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The regular price of an adult and child ticket is $60.00 and $50.00, respectively. However, you can use the link below for discounted fares.

Get discounts for the Big Bus Tour NYC  here .

How Long is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The round-trip New York City Big Bus Tour takes about two hours from start to finish.

The bus is the perfect solution for visitors worldwide because they offer pre-recorded audio narratives and translations in five languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, and English.

Are There Toilets on the Big Bus

No. Unlike charter buses, you won’t travel long between stops. So the best thing to do is exit at a stop, find a public restroom, see an attraction, if desired, and then catch the next bus.

If you are not sure where to find one, ask a Big Bus guide on the street. The driver may also have some suggestions.

Charter buses come equipped with a bathroom because travel is expected to be for a much longer period.

How Does the Big Bus Tour Work in New York City

The tour offers three options for purchase — 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day.

When you decide the number of days of your tour and purchase your ticket, the clock starts when your ticket is scanned while boarding the bus for the first time.

The ticket is good for 24, 48, or 72 hours. So, if you have a 1-day ticket and board the bus at 11:00 AM on Monday, it can still be used until 11:00 AM on Tuesday.

We found a ton of touring options for sightseeing in New York.

Aside from the extended period, the 2 and 3-day tickets also offer discounted bike rentals.

The buses run every 20 minutes on average. However, the first stop at the M&M store can be a long wait during peak season.

You can exit or board at any of the designated stops as much as you want.

The only exclusion is the one-loop tour Night Tour which is a panoramic non-stop tour.

Where to Catch the Big Bus Tour in New York City

During the tour, the buses only stop at designated stops.

Your ticket is good for as long as the buses operate during the day and it may be used on both the red and blue routes.

When you board, make sure you get a hop-on hop-off New York bus route map!

Big Bus NYC Red Route

The red route sightseeing tour covers lower Manhattan and you’ll see many landmarks like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Wall Street, the Chrysler Building, and General Grant’s Tomb.

You can catch a tour at any one of the following bus stops and you can get your tickets in advance of boarding.

1 – M&M’s World – 7th Ave & W 48th St (Outside M&M World & Majestic Deli)

2 – Times Square East – W 42nd St & Broadway (at Knickerbocker Hotel)

3 – Empire State Building / Korea Town – 5th Ave & W 32nd St (at CVS Pharmacy)

4 – Flatiron District – 5th Ave & W 23rd St (at Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop)

5 – SoHo – Broadway and Spring Street (at Nike Store)

6 – Chinatown / Little Italy – 100 Lafayette Street (near the corner at Walker St)

7 – Brooklyn Bridge – Park Row & Beekman St (across from 33 Park Row)

8 – Wall Street / Charging Bull – Broadway & Wall St (Southwest corner near Rector St)

9 – Statue of Liberty / Battery Park – State St and Bridge St (at Subway Entrance)

10 – Circle Line Sightseeing – 12th Ave & 40th St (opposite Pier 81)

11 – Times Square North – 7th Ave & W 50th St (at Majestic Deli)

Big Bus NYC Blue Route

The blue route covers upper Manhattan, and half of the ride is mostly views of Central Park. You can switch to the blue route at red stop #2.

We recommend changing routes at stop #11 (the Majestic Deli) where you can take a break and have a nice lunch.

12 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art – 5th Ave & E 83rd St (near 83rd St)

13 – Central Park Zoo – 5th Ave & E 66th St (opposite 845 5th Ave)

14 – Columbus Circle – Central Park & Columbus Circle (SW corner of Central Park)

Tips and Things to Know Before You Go

The bus has two levels, the upper level offers panoramic views of the city but be careful of overhanging traffic lights and trees. Don’t stand while the bus is in motion.

• After you find a seat, check the audio to confirm it is working.
• Snacks are allowed. Bring a frozen bottle of water and protein bites to keep you energized.
• When on the upper deck, cover up with sunscreen to protect your skin on hot sunny days.
• If you are a family of 3 or more, take seats across from one another so you’ll have views and photos from both sides of the bus.

Tourists were lined up at stop #1 at least an hour before departure and the line extended the entire block and rounded the corner.

We decided to see other points of interest and returned around 11:00 AM.

The wait to board the bus was about 20 minutes. It was a relaxing ride and there we saw so much!

By the time we reached stop #9, we were pumped and ready to exit the bus so that we could explore the city! And you probably will be too.

Here’s the secret sauce that really made the experience memorable. Exit at stop #9 and take a FREE ferry to Staten Island.

To see the Statue of Liberty, stand on the left side of the boat. When returning, stand on the right side.

Final Thoughts About the Big Bus Tour in New York City

Overall, the tour was a pleasant way to see New York city and when you are on the upper deck, you hardly notice the traffic.

Some other advantages of seeing the city by bus include:

• Avoiding parking hassles. I mean, who actually drives in New York?!
• Photo opportunities. With the open-top or large windows, you have excellent photo opportunities as you pass by iconic landmarks and cityscapes.
• Comprehensive sightseeing of major landmarks and attractions within two hours.
• You can get local recommendations from the guides who operate the bus.

I usually opt for a hop-on hop-off bus when I am short on time or to get my bearings in the city before deciding what to do.

Either way, when you take the tour bus, it doesn’t appear impossible to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

Happy Travels!

Trending on billboard, kesha says she's permanently changing diddy lyric in 'tik tok': 'i know what i stand for'.

Fuc What These boys talkin bout 🗣️ — WUNNA (@1GunnaGunna) May 8, 2024

Future hops out the whip and starts things off with the bar that got everyone talking: “F—k your album, s—t ain’t slappin’ like my mixtape.” Future seems to be in a zone and he showed why here. The Detroit rapper was talking heavy, as well, spittin’, “Street n—a from the trenches, swear to God, I made millions (I did)/I went and made that, n—s gave you that, b—h n—a, it’s a difference (Be cool)/N—s losin’, we winnin’, want smoke ’cause they in they feelings.”

The song is hard, but we thought Mixtape Pluto was making a comeback. His fans felt the same way, too. Check out some of their reactions below.

Big Michigan attraction gets Top 10 national ranking on car lovers’ list

DEARBORN, MI - One of the premiere, most historic and most world renowned automobile attractions has received what some could say is a disappointing ranking on a top 10 car lovers’ list.

The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation has one of the top, must-see auto collections on the planet, but ranks just 9th on USA Today’s list of the top 10 attractions for car lovers in the U.S ., just ahead of America’s Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington.

“Started by one of the pioneers of the U.S. automotive industry, the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation showcases the innovation and ingenuity that went into creating the automobiles of the past,” USA Today wrote about the Museum. “However, it doesn’t stop there; exhibits also look at innovations in flight, railroads, and agriculture.”

The Henry Ford also has iconic, historic items like the world’s oldest surviving American car, an exact facsimile of the Declaration of Independence, the bus Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on, the chair President Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot at Ford’s Theatre and the presidential limo John F. Kennedy was in when he was shot in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

Michigan is also home to numerous other auto museums, including the country’s biggest one of them all, the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners near Kalamazoo, and the birthplace of the Model T, the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant Museum in Detroit. Both museums did not make USA Today’s top 10 list.

Rounding out the USA Today top 10 attractions for car lovers list are: Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta and Los Angeles, Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, NE, Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, America’s Transportation Experience / AACA Museum in Hershey, PA, Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY, and the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, GA.

USA Today has numerous 10Best lists which are first nominated by a panel of experts made up of editors from both USA Today and 10Best.com. The top 10 is then determined by a public vote. Here is everything in Michigan ranked in USA Today’s 10Best for 2024 so far:

• Campus Martius Park in Detroit - No. 1 Public Square in the U.S.
• Detroit Institute of Arts - No. 1 Art Museum in the U.S.
• Grand Rapids - No. 1 Best Beer City in the U.S.
• Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids - No. 1 Sculpture Park in the U.S.
• Ludington, Michigan - No. 1 Historic Small Town in the U.S.
• Howell - No. 1 Main Street in the U.S.
• Eastern Market in Detroit - No. 2 Public Market in the U.S.
• Hop Lot Brewing Co. in Suttons Bay - No. 2 Beer Garden in the U.S.
• Saugatuck - No. 2 Coastal Small Town in the U.S.
• Mackinac’s Lilac Festival, Holland’s Tulip Time - No. 2 & No. 3 Flower Festival in the U.S.
• Michigan Science Center in Detroit - No. 3 Science Center in the U.S.
• Petoskey and Traverse City - No. 4 & No. 8 Small Towns in the U.S.
• Detroit’s Street Art - No. 5 Street Art Scene in the U.S.
• Electric Forest - No. 6 Music Festival in the U.S.
• Bell’s Brewery in Comstock - No. 6 Best Brewery Tour in the U.S.
• Traverse City - No. 8 Best Small Town Food Scene
