The most important thing for me is safety and comfort. With the Big Bus, I was able to stroll the majority of Manhattan’s sights (though I didn’t hop off due to weather conditions). The driver was friendly and staff on the streets were helpful. This was my first time with the BigBus and its all a thumbs up. The audio was clear, you just have to play with the headset plug-in if its cutting off. Overall it was excellent! I’ll book again the next time I’m in Manhattan.

It was an amazing experience I love the fact that we’d get off and get back on at our own time. We were supposed to see Ms liberty but we ran out of time. 10/10 overall! I just wish it was cheaper but then again it’s New York

such great views from the open top bus, you get to see lots and it's really useful to jump off when you want and jump back on. the audio was cheesy.

it was really good but I didn't really use it enough to make it value for monwu

it was great! the uptown route was mostly stores on Madison Ave though.
