The audio part was great. Very upbeat and informative. We always got a seat up top - it wasn't overcrowded. The ticketing process was easy. The stops were selected to give us access to many interesting locations near the stops. The men working at and on the buses were very polite and helpful. We would definitely do it again.

The crew on our bus were very willing to help us find a lost item (a tiny diamond necklace) long after we had left the bus (it came back around twice) and they very graciously looked all over for it, and it was even eventually found! Thanks to the crew for going above and beyond.

Great way to see the city - easy hop on-hop off experience so we could spend longer at places we wanted to explore - like lunch in Little Italy! Highly recommend - especially for someone new to the city - great way to get an overall tour.

Some of the drivers are above and beyond providing extra information. All polite though. I congratulate them for funding a safe route thru the never ending NYC traffic

We got to see so much of the city and jump off whenever we wanted to. What was difficult was the lack of air conditioning on the lower level. My walking impaired relative got sick from the excessive heat.

The bus was a great way to get to each attraction, I thought there would be more narrative of what we were seeing in route and the attractions of each stop. The lower level seating is not great at all, windows were tinted and unable to see anything. the audio was not good quality and spoke of where stop would be but not much more, then went to music. I had experienced a bus tour from another company in NYC and this was not nearly as nice of a tour.

The A1 staff! What I didn't like was the frequent braking and the guided tour with headphones, which often cut out ... and you had to put the Channel 3 back on and turn up the sound every time it cut out ...
