Traveler reviews
David and jay did an amazing job my experience was great
David and jay was amazing đŻđŻđŻđŻđ
Dreadful waste of precious time!
We DO NOT recommend this company. We waited 40 minutes ++ for most buses. Sellers promise you every 10-15 minutes? Very disappointing service! We saw 4 âBig Busâ pass us so definitely think they would be the preferred choice. The free cruise is standing only or inside seating unless you want to pay extra for premium! - then you get an outside seat to enjoy the views. Avoid avoid avoid would be our suggestion.
Amazed
We appreciate dennis, amazing tourist guide! Good job we commend you for you hard work!
Donât Waste Your Money - Buses Donât Stop
I purchased a 3-day pass with TopView Sightseeing in New York and unfortunately had a very poor experience. The buses frequently drove past stops without picking up passengers â even when they were not full. I found myself waiting in multiple lines with other ticket holders, none of whom were able to board. On day two of my three-day pass, I gave up entirely. Other travellers I spoke to mentioned they had only managed to get on one bus during their entire 2-day pass, which says a lot about how unreliable the service is. There were plenty of staff on the streets selling tickets, but once youâve purchased, the support ends there. We were repeatedly told where to stand, only to watch buses drive past while being told âmaybe the next one will stop.â I also reached out via email to request a refund for a pass that was effectively never used, and have received no response after more than two weeks. Overall, this felt like a very frustrating and disappointing experience. I would strongly recommend looking at alternative options when visiting New York.
Our whole family had a lot of fun.
Dave & David were wonderful. Very fun tour. There was also a man who helped us redeem our Groupon at the boarding area, I believe his name was shareef, he was very kind.
