Reviews

All aspects of the tour package from ticket voucher purchase to completing the 4 tours were excellent. We had rain on the night tour which can not be avoided. They, however could use more busses. It was a long hot wait in Battery bark for the Brooklyn tour.

Bob M., United States, 08-2011

The first tour guide was a bit grumpy - probably due to the extreme hot temperatures in NCY; however, so were the rest of us. I did not think he was very professional and did not really give much history or information about the route we were on. He had a heavy accent, and it was a bit hard to understand what he was saying. The second tour guide was a lot more friendly and gave more information along the route. She, too, had a bit of an accent making it difficult to understand what she was saying. Our third and final tour guide was excellent. He knew the complete history all along the route up into Harlem, the upper east & west sides and spoke clearly. He was friendly and very informative.

Lars F., Denmark, 07-2011

Very good

RAFAEL F., Venezuela, 07-2011

All the three guides we had need to learn "microphone technique". If they talk loudly with the microphone to their lips their commentary distorts badly and it is difficult to understand what they're saying. The mic should be about 6 to 9 inches away from their mouths if they shout or talk loudly. I mentioned it to them and they were grateful, but after a while they went back to "old habits".

David A., United Kingdom, 07-2011

Double decker bus was good experience - first tour guide on night tour was great, next two tour guides very marginal,too much about themselves, not the tour.

Shirley C., United States, 06-2011

We did the 2-day pass.All of the guides were good,but a few were exceptional. They were very informative. We did both the uptown and downtown loops.As one of my friends suggested, I wish we had a booklet with all of the sites we saw in it.

Joan R., United States, 06-2011

The bus and the tour were good but unfortunately the night we took the tour it poured, so we had to be on the covered part of the bus and could not see a thing from the windows.

YAMILETH R., Mexico, 05-2011

Entire tour was excellent. No lagging between stops for information or just gazing. Both guides very knowledable.

karol p., United States, 09-2010

R Andrew W., United States, 09-2010

Wonderful, very much enjoyed.

Janice K., United States, 09-2010

Very easy to locate in NYC, wait wasn't too long - All stops explained in full- very satisfied-

MARY G., United States, 07-2010

Outstanding way to see the sites. With few exceptions the tour staff was excellent. However, a few seemed a bit condescending to guests. Would highly recommend as a way to get a good overall view of the city. Hop-on,hop-off great!

Jansine S., United States, 06-2010

The quality of the guides on the bus was spotty. Two were excellent and informative. One was basicly in love with himself and just tried to be witty and totally uninformative. One was ready to retire for the day and was bored and boring. Women guides were the best and most informative. Overall, the experience was good and I'm glad my wife and I used the two day tour.

Richard G., United States, 05-2010

We would highly recommend using the Gray Line Double Decker bus system when visiting NYC - we have used it for many years and thoroughly enjoy it - it is so nice to hop on and off at various locations throughout the city and know that you will be able to explore where you want to and there will be another bus coming soon to take you to your next adventure - it is well worth the money!!

Bonnie S., United States, 05-2010

My friends thoroughly enjoyed the bus trips. We used all day Saturday, Saturday evening and Sunday morning so we got a complete tour of the city ... my third time taking this particular sightseeing venue.

Joyce E., United States, 05-2010

The tour was good. The guide was knowledgeable and funny. Price of the tour we booked 4 in 1 tour) is very reasonable. However book this tour only if you have 2 whole days in NY

VIJAY S., United States, 04-2010

Didn't quite get the value we were expecting, partly because one bus had a flat tire and instead of waiting around for next bus we walked instead, missing a lot of the tour loop.

MARK W., Australia, 04-2010

The Brooklyn tour we took was great. The bus driver and guide that we had were excellent.

Yolanda B. C., United States, 04-2010

I've done this tour many times and previously was very happy with it. This trip; however, I was disappointed in the tour guides. They seemed to be less interested in giving information about the city and more interestwed in trying to be entertaining (in some cases very silly and used inappropriate language). Also once I was waiting 45 minutes for a bus. I was the only passenger at the stop, but I was clearly under the Gray Line sign....I even walked out into the street when it looked as if he was not stopping and guess what....he didn't stop....so I ended up taking a cab.

Norma T., United States, 03-2010

Laura M., United States, 03-2010

Wonderful city, very friendly people.

jacques p., Canada, 12-2009

This was my first trip to New York City and our tour bus and guides made it a very enjoyable two days.

Faye E., United States, 11-2009

The first tour bus sound system was poor, only heard bits of information - speech muffled and drowned out by adjacent traffic noise. Second tour from Ground Zero, much much better, very loud and clear and full of good local information

Stephen B., United Kingdom, 11-2009

Tour guides are very informant, and give you other tips as to what taxis to take, where to shop, eat. They can answer all your questions. The hop on, hop off feature was terrific as we could stop and see, visit or shop where we wanted to and then knew we could get back on. Would highly recommend.

margaret w., United States, 11-2009

The double decker tour bus is a great way to see NY City, no matter how many times you have been there. I recommend getting the 2 day tour covering at least the north and south loops. The tour guides are usually excellent (we had one exception this trip) and always provide new and interesting information. It great being able to get on and off so that you can really imerse yourself in different areas of the city.

John B., United States, 09-2009

From start to finish the tour was great and guides were very knowledgeable and informative.

Catherine D., United Kingdom, 09-2009

The tours themselves were very good. We had 3 different guides and 2 of them were excellent (Joe & Pam) the 3rd one was not interesting at all.

Faye M., United States, 09-2009

We did only the three daytime loops. They covered the city well.

Charmain M., United States, 09-2009

A must do. Appreciated that 2 day tour time started from the time we redeemed voucher which in our case was midday and meant we had not lost the first morning as we were able to go on to midday day 3.Maybe could have stressed Ellis Island ferry was included on reaching that stop, with clear instructions as unfortunately we missed it.

Derek K., United Kingdom, 09-2009

The guides we had were mostly excellent. The others were fun and really added to the experience. We did not experience anyone begging for tips as we had heard. Inside of most of the buses were not air-conditioned--so it was super hot (better outside with a breeze when available). We did not have long wait times in August--so that was a pleasant surprise also!

Joni Y., United States, 08-2009

Well worth the money that we spent.

Edmund N., United States, 08-2009

On our next trip to New York City, we will definitely be booking the double decker tour bus as it was a highlight during our trip. It was definitely worth the money that we invested into our trip.

Susan R., United States, 08-2009

We really enjoyed our experience. The All 4 Loops NYC tours for $51 was a wonderful promotion, and I am so glad we took advantage of it! Thank you for providing this to your tourists!!

Heather V., United States, 07-2009

The only negative comment (and maybe this is a green thing and that is good) is that in a couple of the buses the inside A/C was turned off. And of course the windows are not good for taking pictures. We found that the upper deck was the best location for this kind of tour, and it was wonderful in terms of seeing the city landmarks and learning the history of the markers from your guides. I greatly recommend this tour company!!

John T., United States, 07-2009

The view from the top of the bus was 'panoramic' unlike trying to take-in the city from the street. The guides brought so much more to the ride! They do a great job of pointing things out, framing points of interests and making it all fun at the same time. Thank you.

Tim S., United States, 07-2009

it was good, especially the guides were knowledgeable and funny

Sally L., United States, 07-2009

It's a very good choice if it is your first time in NYC

YUSI Z., United States, 06-2009

There is no better way learn so much about city or area on a first visit. You will really feel that you have a great feel for all aspects of the area.

Roger A., United States, 05-2009

This was our 4th time to New York City, and I have to tell you there were 6 people in our group and not one was disappointed with the tour. We went on the all loop 48 hour tour. Out of the three tours we took we were very impressed with two of the guides. They were funny entertaining and very knowledgeable.We learned a lot about The history of the city.The night tour was a little disappointing, only because our guide was not in our opinion as good as the other two. Having said that, We would recommend this to everyone that stays in New York.

Barbara W., Canada, 05-2009

I do recommend this double deck tours to any one who goes on vacation for many reasons: 1.Save money(taxis are more expensive and do not give you any explanation or guidance of the place). 2.The bus has an upper decker were you can se the city more visible. 3. You can hop on and out on any stop and not to worry about having to pay every time you get out ,so you are saving money.

violeta b., United States, 04-2009

good way to get around-some guides so much better than others! another way of communicating to get off would have been better eg a bell

tracy m., United Kingdom, 03-2009

As first time travelers to NYC, we feel that your service was a good option to see all of the sites with a guide to point out interesting facts and tidbits. We also used the buses as a taxi service.

James C., United States, 12-2008

it s the best means to see and visit everything in 2 days and without walking ( for child and people who can t walk a lot )

PEGGY ., France, 10-2008

The guides were really knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. The tours were comprehensive and interesting.

Sara K., United Kingdom, 10-2008

Overall this tour is good value but be prepared for a very long wait to actually get on a bus.

PETER V., Australia, 10-2008

THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SEE NEW YORK. WORTH EVERY PENNY THAT I PAID FOR. WOULD HIGHLY ADVISE TO DO. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY.

JOHN C., United States, 07-2008

Really good for people first time visiting NY. We really like it to see "all it have to see" and the boat cruise include on the zephyr was really great.

Mathieu L., Canada, 07-2008

I highly, highly recommend this tour. We purchased the All-Tours (48-hr pass) and it took us everywhere we wanted to see/go and then some. As a Los Angeles native, we did not know much about the city itself so we really depended on the tour to guide us. It was fantastic and I loved the idea of being able to hop on/off. It saved us lots of money on cab fares, but more so - a great guide to experience NYC thoroughly. When we redeemed our voucher at the visitor's center, we were told our tours ticket also included a harbor cruise. The $49 purchase price not included (4) loops throughout NYC and Brooklyn, but also a 1-hr cruise around Statue of Liberty. This tour MADE our NY trip. I cannot stop recommending enough.

Phan S., United States, 07-2008

Overall it was an acceptable tour package mainly because it was priced very fairly.

Stephen W., United States, 07-2008

we were recommended to take grey line and would be happy to recommend to others

peter s., United Kingdom, 07-2008

very good

Nancy K., United States, 07-2008

Richard H O., United States, 06-2008

Very worthwhile tour but the quality of guide does make a big difference to enjoyment. We experienced Downtown, Uptown and Brooklyn tours and the variation in presenting themselves and the info was considerable.

Bradley L., United Kingdom, 05-2008

We received great service from 3 of the guides and terrible from another. She had a British accent and wore lots of pink lipstick that she got on the yellow microphone cover. She was quite rude to us 2 times and so we got off to get another bus since it was no fun being on her shift and we couldn't hear her. Plus, if we were to laugh or have fun in anyway, she'd give a dirty look and tell us over the microphone that we need to be quiet. She was not hospitable when we got on either. She gave us a hard time for not having our ticket in her hand in a timely manner and scolded us about how to do it next time.

Marla F., United States, 04-2008

Tour was very good. I took all four routes in New York over two days and had a marvelous time. Would take the three day tour the next time. Brooklyn night tour guide on April 3rd was particularly good.

Paulette G., Canada, 04-2008

This tour is a great way to see a lot of the city. The guides are very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Louann S., United States, 03-2008

I took the All tours loop which was wonderful, especially when you combine it with an attraction pass. The tour was even better when my travel companion and I couldn't do much on a very windy and rainy day in New York, so not being able to walk around the city was a disappointment, however, having the All Loops Tour allowed us to save the day by hopping on and off at the different stops to enjoy some of the sites without getting that wet!!!

ADRIANA D., Mexico, 03-2008

great fun

coral r., Spain, 02-2008

Outstanding tour! Buses were always available. Tour guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. Drivers were safe, cautious and expedient. Ticket agents were friendly and accomodating. The experience was the best. We're telling our family and friends about it.

herman s., United States, 12-2007

Nice tours, nice guides, good drivers despited Ny's terribly damaged roads, worth every penny (cent).

SIRMA O., France, 12-2007

Very happy with the tour, but maybe more guidance should be given on wearing good warm clothing on a winter tour!

Ian S., United Kingdom, 12-2007

Each of the tour guides were knowledgeable and quite funny.

Jeffrey S., United States, 11-2007

Michael H., United Kingdom, 10-2007

As a first time visitor/user this was an outstanding way to see New York City

Dennis M., United States, 09-2007

The only way to see Manhattan!

Dennis M., United States, 09-2007

Worth the trip.

Donna D., United States, 07-2007

Enjoyed the tour very much saw a lot of New York otherwise I would not have seen.

Theresa J., United States, 05-2007
