This was such a easy thing to book and ride. You can see a lot of landmarks and I highly recommend this if you want a tour of some highlights of the city. We took the downtown tour and stopped at the 9/11 memorial. It was worth it and everyone should take the time to visit this.

This is a great way to navigate around NYC. We were on the blue route and the driver pulled up to a stop and just got off the bus. We did not know this was the end of the line. He did not say anything just left us. The narrative is very interesting to learn more about NYC.

    The views were immaculate. I enjoyed the different photo opportunities all throughout the experience. It wasn't too crowded around to grab the specific photos I wanted.

    The experience was what we expected once we got inside. We did not expect to stand in line for 2 hours just to get to Summit One and then wait in line again to get back down...we stood in line for over 3 hours for an experience that should have taken 2 hours total. The employee, Maria, was extremely rude when explaining that there was a long line to return to the ground floor. She let some people cut the line to get down the elevators and not others. It was very frustrating.
