The ticketing was seemless. The ride was fantastic. Lunch at Casa Bella in Little Italey was great. I highly recommend Hop On/Hop Off. A great way to see NYC

Very easy to book. Nice to see the city highlights. You can hop off at each highlight. The information you get is very amusing, sometimes it could me a little bit more informing for me.

It's a great way to cover the world famous sights and monuments of NYC in this efficient manner. But something unfortunate happened. It started raining. so all the passengers from the upper deck rushed to the covered deck below. The driver forcefully shooed all the non seated passengers off the bus in the middle of nowhere, under pouring rain. I understand that this is a safety guideline but there ought to be a more considerate way of doing things. I felt so sorry for those who were affected.

What's not allowed

  • Keep in mind luggage is not allowed on the buses. Pack wisely!

Accessibility

  • The buses are wheelchair accessible.

  • Choose safety and comfort: Visitors with mobility impairments may not be able to access the upper decks.

Additional information

  • Specific details related to the add-ons in your tickets like walking tours and bike rental offers will be shared in the ticket post-booking.
  • Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

  • Carry a printout of your voucher and hop on to the bus from any stop on the route. The driver will exchange it for the bus ticket.
