Ticketing was very smooth. Bought online and staff member scanned QR code and printed tickets and off we went! Red Loop was great, Jimmy was very informative as well as entertaining. Blue Loop was not so good as too many stops and not so much info.

The concept of getting on and off at various points is great; but one bus dropped us off a block before the regular stop, and there were no directions to the sights listed - for example, Rockerfeller Center and Grand Central Station were a few blocks from the drop off point, and there was no one to direct us. The audio gave very little direction or informaton; too much of it was just music, and the narrators were silly. I would not recommend Big Bus for New York.

When I purchased the tickets for the red and blue line, I did not expect that going to both venues were not possible. They should recommend doing one or the other, not two. I was not able to see it all. Then the bus conductor was very disrespectful, he was using foul language and then wasted about 15 minutes, since he insisted on doing this paperwork at that very moment and not utilizing the time to drive to the various locations. With that being said, the time crunch set in. I have to experienced hop on at many places but this was the worst.

First and foremost,I enjoyed the sightseeing experience on red and blue lines of the Big Bus Tour.My 4th of July was fun and memorable experience, being in a crowd at Time Square.New Yorkers and visitors enjoyed the Independence Day filled with entertaining activities,and the early evening spectacular fireworks celebrating and commemorating the Day of Freedom of all walks of life.
