Moi qui ne restais pas longtemps à NY, je recommande ce genre de tour pour profiter un maximum du temps disponible.J'ai trouvé ça très bien organisé !

great flexibility allowed us to see much more than we expected

1.For the 2 days we were there the wait for a bus was around 3/4 to 1 hr. and this was very frustrating. Should have been more buses.
2. Wanted to do the Brooklyn Night Tour and could not find bus stop at Battery Park.
3. The Tour guide on Uptown bus spoke far to quickly and was telling jokes and suggesting places to eat instead of giving a detailed summary of where we were.

New York is a very, very big city. A hop-on/hop-off tour like this is essential to see the major attractions and orient yourself in the city.

I was under the impression that my 72 hour tour included some extras- when i checked in with grayline tours- those extras were denied- i called the city tour number and could not receive any help on this matter-
because i believed those extras were included since the website indicated that they were- i missed my opportunity to add these on at grayline- and had to purchase an add- on and pass up the opportunity to see the others- i am very unhappy

Enjoyed the 3 tours I did- downtown, Brooklyn and uptown. Commentary was interesting and relevant, guides knew their stuff and getting on and off was easy.

Some commentaries were recorded, some in very bad English and another was excellent. Need consistency

I would reccomend the Double Decker Tour to anyone visiting New York. We went on the downtown loop very early on our first full day in New York. This loop covered most of the major attractions. Taking the tour helped us to find our way around the city. The hop on - hop off elemet of the tour meant we did not use taxis or the subway as the tour buses were available every fifteen minutes. The tour guides were very informative and all staff were very friendly. We also used the tour bus for the holiday lights tour. The only problem we had was the cold sitting ustairs on the open top bus,which was expected in December but it was worth braving the cold for the excellent views of the city. The tour was very reasonably priced, it is best to book in advance as it is considerably more expensive to book when you are there.

The bus was not air-conditioned (due to age of the bus) and not pleasant on the hottest day in June that they have had!! Most uncomfortable and was not able to make full use of the pass (due to the intolerable conditions). Variable tour guides, and did not like the constant soliciting for tips.

Guides should make an effort to better articulate in order to be better understood by foreigners.
Furthermore some of them talk to much.
People in the office are not kindly at all.

A great way to familiarise yourself with New York. Some of the guides are tremendous characters and fill you in on information and places that would pass you by.

Good way to get a feel for the city then go back to do the things you really want to.
