The Big Bus was great and the Statue of Liberty was awesome….the price I paid for the Empire State Building for 5 people was approx $150 and was a total loss. A greeter from the Empire State Building actually walked us to a corner near the Empire State Building where there should have been a Big Bus representative-we waited over 20 minutes and never saw anyone. We went to Empire State Building and they were not able to redeem anything with the QR code. A Big Bus representative advised us not to print a reservation because it was better to view the City at night and we would have a better chance of not missing the reservation time if we waited to print the tickets at the end of the day we were told we could come back to the exact location before 5:00, however when we arrived at 4:30 pm, we were not able to find a representative that had the equipment needed to print our tickets.

A one or two day pass is quite sufficient. That said, we think that the rides are fun and a great venue in which to meet visitors from around the planet. Some folks who post here think that one or another operator has more busses, but we have never been lacking for a pick-up. There are times when we hop-off one bus and hop-on another (but same operator) so that we have a different guide/narrator. He died some years back, and fondly remember him “singing” (great voice) to the tourists and us atop the open-air busses.Įven since then, we still enjoy the rides by the operators the biggest difference is not which operator you choose, rather it is the guide/narrator that you happen to get, and whether he/she is engaging or knowledgeable. We started doing this years ago due to one of our friends becoming a tour guide/narrator for one of the “Hop-on Hop-off” operators following his retirement as a teacher (a linguist). We walk a lot and take the subways and public busses to get around, but we still like the commercial “Hop-on Hop-off” double decker busses and (even though we have lived here in NYC for 40+ years) once or twice a year buy a pass and “do” the City as paying tourists.
