Tour Description

The New York City Tour Bus is a convenient and fun way to get around the city that never sleeps. The two-story, open-top buses are the perfect way to visit the main places of interest.

With a total of 18 stops, there are 2 routes on which you can explore Midtown, Uptown, and Downtown, all connecting at Times Square. Unmissable sights such as Chinatown, Wall Street, The Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Madison Square Garden, Little Italy, and last but not least, the Statue of Liberty.

Plus, throughout the tour, you can an audio guide in English about the places you visit!

Ticket Options

Red Line 24-hour ticket: you'll enjoy the Red Line, which runs the Downtown tour

Red & Blue Line 48-hour ticket: this option includes the Red Line (Downtown tour) and the Blue Line (Uptown tour)

Red & Blue Line 72-hour ticket + Brooklyn tour: with this option, you'll enjoy the Red Line (Downtown tour) and the Blue Line (Uptown tour) for 2 days. In addition, you'll have an immersive tour of Brooklyn included.

Red & Blue line 1-day ticket & Empire State Building ticket: if you book this option, as well as enjoying a ticket for the sightseeing bus, you'll also get admission to the observation deck of the Empire State Building, one of New York's most iconic skyscrapers.

How it Works

The 24, 48 or 72-hour tickets will have a corresponding validity. For example, if you book a 24-hour ticket and use it for the first time on Monday at 11 am, you can use it until 11 am the following day, in this case Tuesday. During the time it is valid, you can hop on and off the bus as many times as you like.

In the case of the 1-day ticket option, if you use it for the first time on a Monday at 11 am, you can use it until the end of that Monday at midnight, but you won't be able to use it until 11 am the following day.

If you book the Empire State Building Observatory ticket option, once you exchange your ticket for the sightseeing bus, you'll have to choose a time to enter the building. At that time, you'll be given your official ticket.

Operating Hours & Frequency

Red Line (Downtown Tour): this line has 12 stops, and runs every 15 minutes from 9 am to 5 pm daily. The entire route takes around an hour and a half.

Blue Line (Uptown Tour): this line has 7 stops and runs every half hour from 10 am to 4 pm daily. The entire route takes around an hour and a half.

Muy cómodo para visitar una gran ciudad con infinidad de lugares de interés. Además entretenido con las explicaciones de audio guía en distintos idiomas aunque en algunos asientos no funcionaban. Lo que me parece reducido y mejorable es el horario porque solamente es hasta las 5 de la tarde. Translate this opinion into English.

Very comfortable to visit a big city with countless places of interest. Also entertaining with the audio guide explanations in different languages although they did not work in some seats. What I think is reduced and could be improved is the hours because it is only until 5 in the afternoon. Opinion translated. Show original.

El autobús turístico es muy caro para lo que te ofrece. Dicen que son 24 horas, pero en realidad el bus acaba a las 17 de la tarde. Nosotros estuvimos casi 45 minutos de cola para coger el primer bus en Times Square. Y con el tráfico que hay en Nueva York apenas te da tiempo a hacer todo el recorrido. La idea es buena, pero dado lo que se puede aprovechar deberían de moderar los precios Translate this opinion into English.

The tourist bus is very expensive for what it offers you. They say it's 24 hours, but in reality the bus ends at 5 pm. We were almost 45 minutes in line to catch the first bus in Times Square. And with the traffic that there is in New York, you hardly have time to do the whole route. The idea is good, but given what can be used, prices should be moderated Opinion translated.
