Really great experience overall. A real bang for your buck considering the schedule, planned site visits, and tasting options (plus discounts at some of the wineries). In addition, Raven was an awesome tour guide. Highly recommend!!! Aldo from MEXICO 😎👏🏼
What a fantastic way to see the "Big Apple". Our bus driver Santana made our day! She was so helpful and friendly. Great attitude :-) Thank you!
One suggestion: there should be an additional stop near the Whitney Museum to make it easier to reach this attraction as well as Little Island and Chelsea Market. The distance between WTC and Hudson Yards is a bit too far.

I had such a great time on the Night Tour! Shelley did a great job telling us about what we saw and lots about all of New York. She loves New York and was entertaining and informative. German was a great driver and helped us keep safe and get to the best spots for photo ops. I highly recommend this tour!
My wife and and I had a blast on this trip. Shelly was perfect as our tour guide; funny, knowledgeable and warm. (Greg did a good job driving the big bus through the NYC traffic).
So much to see and doing it at night produced some iconic views. Highly recommend this especially near the beginning of your visit to get a good overview and get some good local tips from Shelly.

Visited NYC the weekend of 8/12/2023 on a girls trip and took the big bus tour. It was the best way to see the city. There was no actual tour guide on the bus but the best driver that we encountered was Santana and she was awesome! Gave tips on restaurants, pointed out sights and gave excellent commentary on the city. Also gave great directions to where we were going. Just wish she was the only driver that we had that weekend.
I loved that expience with sourced adventures. My friend and I had a great time, we really enjoyed that get away from the city and had a good time In the river. Sonny and Michael were extremely good guides, so sweet, so nice, and patient.I will join for the next trip.
I went on the Long Island winery tour for a friend's birthday. This was a perfect day. It was organized, well timed and really fun. The three wineries we chose we different in vibes/styles and they were perfectly chosen. Our hosts Joe and Vinash were stellar. This was also perfectly timed which I appreciated. I highly recommend this tour.
Bryant was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic throughout the entire tour! Could not have asked for a better guide for our trip to NYC. Would highly recommend this tour - it was a great way to see and learn about the city. Thank you again Bryant and Guy!
I participated to the Central Park TV & Movie Sites Walking Tour and Laura was our inspirational guide. Learned fun facts about movies and TV series filmed in the park from her. I recommend this tour.
Martin, our tour was AMAZING the best experience. This was my first time in New York I was anxious and my husband flew me into Jersey i made reservations for the tour. Martin made sure we all stuck together and was very protective. He took care of his group! He went above and beyond to show and tell us all about new York’s historical background. We learned ALOT. He has a serious love for his city and you can tell he loves what he does. If you’re thinking of booking this tour, please DO IT! And request Martin for your tour guide. I promise you will not regret it.
Absolutely loved my first sourced adventures excursion and can’t wait to do more! I recently went on the Kayak and Wine (Delaware River Kayaking and Warwick Valley Winery) day trip and not only were Sunny and Kelly amazing guides/hosts, their safety instructions were extremely thorough and their time management was great. Perfect summer activity! Definitely would do it again and would recommend it to everyone I know.
The buses doesn't exist. I paid for a round trip ride and the buses there aren't anywhere. Not in Port Authority 8th Avenue 41st in Manhattan and not anywhere. Biggest scam in new York.
Lora provided an insightful and interesting tour through Central Park. Recommend for folks who want to take a meaningful walk through the park.
The company doesn't exist. I bought 2 tickets for Woodbury Commons and the buses doesn't exists. I called them they said that the bus will come for an exact spot but after 2 hours nothing. I went to Woodbury Commons with Usa Coaches and came back to Manhattan with an Uber.
Amazing experience! Sonny and Kelly were great, their personalities and attention to detail when it came to safety were amazing. The Delaware river kayaking and Warwick Valley Winery trip was such a perfect adventure. I’d highly recommend this company and I can’t wait to join the winter excursions!
Firstly, Great staff who really tried to make the whole experience as good as possible. The main problem is that the traffic in New York is a nightmare, so the Downtown loop takes at least 3hrs and the Uptown loop 2hrs. Which doesn't leave a lot of time for hopping on or off. The Uptown tour was quite interesting with informative commentary but the downtown was basically a long slow gridlocked drive down Boardway and back along the Hudson River. The Downtown commentary was not as good as Uptown with a lot of long musical interludes. You would better spend your time taking the subway downtown and doing a walking tour. Also, all the buses after 4pm are pretty rammed so the whole of our journey was spent downstairs and there were plenty of people left to wait for the next bus. To be fair it was a Saturday in August so peak peak season. On the plus side if you complete both tours you can say you have seen a lot of the canyons of Manhattan. Enjoy!
Bryant was the best tour guide ever. Amazing tour of NYC. Would totally recommend this smaller tour bus over a large tour bus with no tour guide just head phones. One word of warning ....if you tell Bryant one of your best jokes, Bryant will tell you his best ten jokes!!! And then a few more🤣🤣🤣
We did the NY TV and movie tour. The tour was great! The tour guide was hilarious and provided lots of interesting information. We stopped at a few of the locations. Got some great pictures. In all this was a great experience that we would do again next time we come to New York.
Chartering a bus was a great experience. The booking agent was helpful. Our trip had no issues. Thx!
What a wonderful experience - mostly because of this remarkable lady! She was absolutely so welcoming and knowledgeable! My son called her the nicest New Yorker we have met! This is Santana and she even helped to remind me to slow down and enjoy the ride - that the Big Bus was meant to make for a good holiday....she really is a gem! She clearly loves what she does, and she was just fantastic to all of us on the bus today. The views were great but the way she shared her knowledge just made for a once in a lifetime trip with my son!
Yesterday I had a huge trip going to sesame place with two buses to be exact and the company I used (Coach ways) one of the buses ended up not showing up I called Omega and they dispatched a bus out to us within the hour and saved my whole trip they are amazing reliable respectful and the driver was amazing Omega is now the only company I will do business with for bus services they are have tier customer service and you can’t go wrong with them thank you so much for saving my trip yesterday.
Elaine is a great asset to your business. Informative and very down to earth. Loved it.
Greg was the driver. Very safe driver. Very glad took tour. When I visit different states I use this company all the time

Absolute disaster.
After buying online your bus ticket, you will get information about departure from Port Autorithy Terminal, where you get information that the company doesn’t exist anymore. But you can go outside to the streets and look for somebody ,,in red vests” to maybe find out something about the nonexisting bus - there are many of them in red vests, but no one knows about Citysights ny.
We have written to citysights ny support (e-mail) to get our money back and no one replied. It’s more then a week now and no response.
So I highly recommend not to buy anything.

We thought the tour guide Chris was funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and very nice. He made the tour better than it was. The bus was 10-15 minutes late at first picking us up. The bus was also much smaller than expected, no bathroom on the bus, and very little AC for the passengers because the vents were located more for the driver. Which made the ride more hot and sweaty, but chris made some jokes about it so he made it funny. Also, the tour guide has us watch the videos for the locations on a iPad because the TV wasn’t working. I felt bad for the people in the back not being able to see the iPad. Chris did allow us to go to Washington Park, where we were able to go to the bathroom and get something to eat. Some of the locations on the tour aren’t as admirable as we thought, others were better. Overall, I would try another tour by them, but I don’t know if I would recommend this exact tour to someone. I would recommend Chris 10X over though lol.
We had a lovely experience doing the Central Park Movies & TV Shows tour with Laura! Laura was so friendly, helpful, and funny, and made the tour super exciting. She chatted with us whilst walking between spots and took a genuine interest in our lives and our time in NYC. Afterwards, she recommended a whole heap of restaurants and cafes for us to try, which have been great so far! We learnt a lot and left the tour feeling really happy and relaxed. Thanks Laura for such a great time!
Me and my family went for the night tour by Big bus on 15/6/2023. It was an awesome, enjoyable and informative tour. Our tour guide, Ms Elaine was an awesome and energetic person. She gave an excellent and informative tour about the New York culture, History and evolution of its architecture. Mr Jomano was a great bus driver who navigated through the busy streets of New York. Big bus also provided Earphones so that we can hear better in Busier areas. So fellow travellers those who come to New York must try Big bus New York Hop-on Hop-Off Open Top tour to learn more about New York culture, History and architecture.
Amazing tour with Benji. We couldn't of asked for a better tour guide. He knew a little bit about every movie and series and gave some good advice and tips about NYC itself. I would recommend this to anyone. We stopped at three different places to get out and walk around (and he pointed out bathrooms if we needed it). The walks were very short and easy and he made sure we knew we could wait on the bus if we wanted to. We were in a very large charter bus and paid the extra for the better seats. We got the very front seats so we found it worth while.
Great company to work with, buses arrive clean and on time... will definitely use again!
Ally provided a great charter service. The bus was clean as expected and the reservation agent helped us reach to our destination!
Our trip to philly was pleasant. The grupo was happy and no complaints. Thank you
Amazing bus driver. Very professional and will use again!
Isaac our Driver was super courteous and professional! We booked a 5 hour tour that was so informative about Manhattan! We did an Newark Airport drop-off! Highly recommended!
I don't typically write a review but this company deserve this. My private tour guide was amazing. We had an absolute blast touring the city. Made our group feel like home ! I recommend Small Bus Tours New York City to Everyone.
Wonderful tour! Frankie and Guy did a superb job in showing us the city, much better than any hop on hop off big bus could ever do. We got to sail past Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty and step on Staten Island as well as the famous Brooklyn Bridge. We spent time at the World Trade Center memorial and went to the firemen’s bar across the street where all visiting firemen go today and leave patches from where they came from in memory of those who died. We spent a little bit of time at grand central station and went to the edge (I wish we had seen more) of Central Park They picked us up at our hotel which was a bonus.
I would easily recommend this tour to any one new to NYC.

The tour was a great way to see parts of NYC that we would not have been able to see otherwise. The tour guide Chris was AMAZING and kept us engaged the whole time. He even went above and beyond and helped us navigate the subway after the tour. Class act!! Take the tour when you visit NYC - ask for Chris’ tour!!
Tour guide was knowledgeable, and the stops were very relevant to the Sopranos series. Definitely gained some information I didn't know before the tour. Because of our small group, we used a sprinter van that was cramped and made it difficult to see out of the windows. Also, in past tours I've done on the bus, video clips of scenes from the series were played before we got to a certain stop. We didn’t have that in the van. It's definitely still worth it, but would've been 5 stars with the bus.
We choose Sourced Adventures to go for a one day ski trip and had the best time possible. They are very good with communication and made sure everything from the bus ride to the resort access went smooth. We will definitely utilize their service again for day trips out of NYC!
They can’t control the weather. But I really enjoyed my trip to Mountain Creek. They were professional and on time. Very informative, and sent emails when the trip was approaching with pick up time and place.
They controlled the trip, played host and tried to please everyone. Maybe next time they will make Snow ❄️! 😂
Thank you Source Adventure

Top notch tour - couldn’t fault these guys. Professional and informative. The entire tour was well organised and executed. Lots of humour and ticked all the boxes for us. They even incorporated plenty of (clean) bathroom stops! Would totally recommend for first timers to NYC. We loved it! Thank you Guy and Martin our guides.
We had so much fun on this trip! Wish we would have brought a little more alcohol and some snacks but we will next time!!! We went tubing and it was absolutely beautiful. A couple places were too shallow and we had to drag the tubes but I will definitely go again. Guides were very friendly, bus driver was great too. A very good deal including transportation in and out of the city.
The absolute BEST TOUR guide: Bryant. He was absolutely wonderful, engaging and kept the tour fun and exciting. (Cringy jokes and puns make the ride very enjoyable) He speaks Spanish as well for my Hispanic folks.
He is very knowledgeable about NYC and it’s many wonders. He always made you feel comfortable and welcome. The buses are roomy, comfy and offer ac. Each stop was about 15-20 min walk but you don’t get tired as you are enamored with every new site 😃 Bryant knows the best picture spots so you’ll get some awesome pics. I will not stop recommending this tour company, it was worth every penny! Tip: book it on your 1st or 2nd day, that way you can ask Bryant questions about the locations in case you want to visit them on your own later.

I was sold a City Sightseeing New York ticket at Battery Park in New York on July 7, 2022. I wanted to take a boat trip to the Statue of Liberty.
Screen I was sold a bus tour and a boat tour. But there was never talk of a bus tour. I complained relatively quickly to the local seller. That was also done. I did not take a boat tour or a bus tour and to date I have not received a refund. Communication with City Sightseeing New York was extremely difficult and very incompetent. I have done a City Sightseeing bus tour in every major city so far and will never do it again.
thanks for nothing

Fun * Personalized * Knowledgeable * Safe and Worth every penny! I wanted the best tour for my friends' first NYC visit. Bryant, Gus, Catherine and Black Beauty exceeded expectations. Bryant knows his history and delivers 👏 with charm and puns. This tour felt private, our group plus another family from Chicago. 8 people total in tour including teens and adults. Bryant was able to keep us all engaged.
Ibrahima was knowledgeable and personable, he took us on a 3 hour walking and subway tour of Brooklyn and his love of the area shone through. He actually spent over his time with us and gave us a excellent restaurant recommendation, gong so far as to make the reservations for us at this very popular restaurant-Le Crocodile, we highly recommend his services which can apparently be customized to your taste
national charter bus was very easy to use for renting a mini bus to travel to DC. luxury vehicke, and professional driver who was very familiar with driving in new york
My wife purchased on Groupon for use the next day. We waited nearly 40 minutes and then on hold for 20 minutes with CitySights to determine what was going on. Turns out, the buses aren’t running today. They refused to even discuss a refund and the lack of buses today was nowhere in evidence when we purchased the tickets.
Extremely disappointed and would advise others to steer clear.
As an update, Groupon agreed to refund the charge, but leaving the review as CitySights did not.

Today I booked a group tour with high quality tours. It was a very fun and relaxing day. We were shown many different famous places and important landmarks in the city in just a few hours. We rode a luxurious tour bus, walked around the city with our guide, and then took a boat to see the NYC skyline and Statue of Liberty. The sights were spectacular and I highly recommend this for anyone with a family, kids, or a partner to go with!
Just came from a 4 day trip to NYC. I appreciated our tour guide. And would love to come again as him as the guide. IT WAS A VERY MEMORABLE EVENT
This tour was at the end of an exhausting week on a cruise. It was everything though. He sparked enthusiasm with us through photography and stories. It was super fun and I highly recommend!!
Very good 👍🏻
Best tour guide of New York City. If you want to have fun and learn lot of things while visiting the beautiful city that is New York, Ibrahima is the perfect guide. I recommend.
I went as part of a school trip a few years back and this tour was one of the most memorable parts of the whole trip. Ibrahima’s knowledge of the city and his vibrant personality combined for a very memorable experience.
ally charter bus staff were very professional and sent me a quote for my trip and a price that was pretty good. Bus service itself was also well organized and we had no issues
Happy to report my trip with easy charter bus of New York was excellent and I had no issues. Bus was clean and driver Mike was on the top of his game through the trip and we loved him.
Booking with National Charter bus was a good choice. They were well prepared and also on time for each of my five pickups. Trip was good and driver was David who was a local New Yorker which was helpful
Our trip was a great charter. Called Easy charter bus and was able to secure a bus for a local tour. Happy to report the trip was a success and easy charter bus was a massive reason behind our great experience
Had a good charter on a the bus of east charters New York. Bus was Fabolous and also very comfortable. Bathroom was the best part as a long journey it helped us not have to make several stops along the way
Had no issues with our booking with easy charter bus. The agents were very attentive and also helped with the booking process. Top quality service local in New York
Booking was very good. Charter bus from ally was in time and extremely clean. Our trip was beyond satisfactory and deserved each golden five stars
National Charters of New York were very good and reliable during our charter. booked with their rep a few days prior to trip and they were prompt to send us required communications prior and during tires. bus was on time for all legs of the service so highly recommend
What a great charter service local to New York. Their bus service was very helpful for our transportation needs and shuttling our entire staff in the city for two consecutive days. Five golden stars for Ally Charters
A trip to NYC is always a good adventure. This trip we hopped on the Gray Line bus and took the uptown route. Our guide Ron was knowledgeable and entertaining. He was everything you think a New Yorker should be: accent, humor and fast talk.
You need to be on Ron's bus.

Best money we spent in NYC. Love the hop on hop off tours. Second time we've visited here and second time we've purchased the CitySights tour package. Each tour guide was knowledgeable and fun! We would not have viewed and learned about the sights and history of this great city without this tour. The package price with attractions included are a huge value and allowed us to see so much more than if we had purchased individual entry tickets. So much to see and do and the guides were helpful ambassadors all the way. Fantastic!
Bus from ally charter bus was nice. The service was easy to book and we enjoyed the ride. Nice trip and also affordable service for chartering in New York
I recently was apart of a tour on July 15 and I have to say out of all my years living in New York, this tour really showed me all of the main city spots and attractions that we have that I haven't really seen or experienced and a few secret city spots that I haven't seen or heard of. The tour guide was amazing! She really helped me learn new things about this city that I've never knew. The best part for of the trip in my opinion was the 9/11 Observatory and the Boat Ride. I highly recommend booking High Quality Tours if you need a tour around New York City.
The process to reserve a trip with ally was great! Their bus was nice but booking was really easy. Their quote was sent via email where I was able to book online. Great bus service to chatter for short or long distances
National charter bus was a great choice for booking charter buses. The bus was clean and had a good ac system sl we stayed cool the entire trip. Great service and fair price
We were specifically told by the customer service person online, that the boat tour which was in the package, would include going under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Unfortunately it was not the case. No explanation whatsoever. The weather was excellent so definitely it was not the cause.
Regarding bus tours: make sure you do the night tour. It's spectacular.

Called easy charter and they had a bus arrive to our church in 36 minutes which was great! The bus was almost brand new and was great. We enjoyed the trip and the price point at which we booked
The Luxury coach bus from Omega Express was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The driver was very pleasant and drove safely. We were so relaxed that some of us were able to sleep on the ride back. I would not hesitate to recommend this bus charter company in New York to any group. This is as good as it gets in luxury bus travel.
This bus charter compan from New York always our number one choice. Let me say that they made each one of our trips a very memorable experience. Everything is great -- the buses the drivers the support staff. I am very happy with them and pleased to recommend them.
Omega Express consistently meets the high expectations of my tour company, and excels in safety and service. I now use them exclusively for our Upstate NY tours.
They sent us an amazing charter bus, so we could like to thank them. The driver was also exceptional - and very funny as well. Our entire group felt energized throughout the trip. Thanks.
Using easy charter made it really easy to charter a bus in New York! The customer service rep were great and helped plan the entire trip. Thanks for the great bus charter experience
Ally charter bus was so easy to use to rent a charter bus. Their service team setup the entire trip and were probational and really helpful. The bus itself was also great and offered WiFi which made the trip easy and fast
Using easy charter bus was very easy. The service was quick and the buses were luxury with movies and TVs. The driver was great and the seats were very comfy. Overall I was very satisfied with using this service for a charter bus
it’s hard to get a bus in new york but easy charter bus nyc was able to get a bus for us last minute. their service was great and their bus was clean and the driver professional. we were very satisfied with the experience and will use them again
We took a tour with Alex as our driver and Ibrahim as our tour guide. Alex picked us up exactly on time at the cruise terminal after a 7 day cruise. There were 13 of us, we then proceeded to pick up the tour guide in downtown New York. Ibrahim with Alex navigating the unbelievable traffic gave us a wonderful overview of New York. some of our party has never been, while Some have been many times ~ this was the very best way to end our vacation.Thank you Ibrahim and Alex.

I had promised my employees a weekend trip to Panama if they attained last year's target. They did. I had to fulfill my promise and I was confused on the best means to use since I have 40 employees. I saw an advert on National Charter Bus New York and decided to contact them. Their price was unbelievably low and their buses are very well maintained and very comfortable to travel in. They also have the best and well trained staff. We are so grateful.
Hi- We did the city and harbour cruise recently .Although it was UN week and D.Trump was in town ( making the roads an absolute Grid lock ) our tour guide Rachel and the driver navigated the tour brilliantly. We saw most of the NYork highlights and Rachel was full of interesting facts. The harbour cruise and the tour guide was also great ! We had a day full of fun and saw loads - Thank you
This was one of the best tours by bus I have ever had. The NYC tour guide was very informative, showing us little places of infamous history, not just the usual tourist spots. He was apparently very experienced in his job. The bus was super comfortable and clean. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I know for sure that I did. It was a great value for the money too.
We booked one of the private luxury tours of New York City from High Quality Tours. It had to be one of the best NYC tours available. It was done on both a luxury bus and also a yacht. There is nothing like seeing NYC from the water. Bridges and other sites can be appreciated so much more from the water. We had a very nice relaxing time and our guides were awesome. We will be sure to recommend this Manhattan sightseeing tour.
I was always leery of NYC tours by bus. They always looked kind of tacky to me. My husband wanted to try one so we took the New York guided sightseeing tour by luxury coach from High Quality tours. I must say that we really enjoyed it. Our tour guide really knew the history. You could tell he had been giving Manhattan tours for a long time. High Quality Tours changed my whole impression New York City sightseeing tours.
Tour guide J was awesome! We had a nice small group he used an umbrella to mark himself to keep the group together and he was very knowledgeable about NYC. He took pictures for us and kept us entertained!! The bus was very very nice! Provided water which was outstanding really being how much water is in nyc!! We are at a great place and the yacht was nice. J went out of his way to drop us off near our final destination. Great experience!! Definitely recommend it!!
I had my experience tour in early march for a day - my friend Mary G told me about these guys . I was keen on a tour of Manhattan that would do pick ups from Newark, i was first time here in New York and was travelling by myself. yah this was by great decision ! i enjoyed much in this tour - visited many things, and heard loads of stories about New York. Was very informative - the guide called, Robert , was very informative and had a great sense of humor as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get their bearings at the beginning of a stay in this amazing city, or if you only have a very short stay as I did and want to get maximum highlights ! Thanks for a great day HQ tours !
