We highly recommend a double-decker bus tour of NYC especially for those of you who are New York City virgins. When you purchase your tickets the Big Bus can serve as your transportation while you are in the city, the rides are unlimited hop on hop off for 48 hours!
Move over Blue there is a new bus in town, and it is Big….Big Bus. Blue has dominated the double-decker bus in NYC until March when The Big Bus migrated from London and they are shaking things up in The Big Apple. Forget rude, arrogant, disengaged tour guides. Big Bus representatives are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We were greeted by Thomas who literally, stopped traffic and escorted us to the bus. Our guide, William ask everyone where they were from, on our bus we had people from Cleveland to Dubai. We were given earbuds that plugged into a module that allowed us to dial in the language of our choice.
The on-board commentary included both history and popular culture. We were thoroughly entertained for 2 hours. Our tour guide personally approached each group to see if we had any questions or needed help before we left the tour. Never once did we feel like a number or unappreciated.
