ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! - The 2 ladies who hosted it (sorry, can’t remember your names) were great, really funny and bounced off each other. The street acts were talented, especially the rapper. Im 52, rap music is not my thing at all, but he was brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth every penny in my opinion.

The Ride-FUN! - The interaction with the tour guides and performers was great! It will be whatever you make of it. I love singing and dancing, although I’m not good at either.

Team Event - This was an amazing experience even for locals who’s main comment was that they were going to return with their families.

Very enjoyable - After reading some of the reviews, we were wondering if we were going to enjoy it !!!!! It was amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Bit of fun to break up a busy day. Dont want to say to much as i dont want to spoil it. We booked through our Go City Pass xx

Unique and great fun! - This was an unexpected highlight for us. We made a last minute booking with our GoCity passes and it turned out to be one of the best things we did. Our kids are 9 and 12 and the hosts Stuart and Jack were great with them. The hosts made this for us, really fun and the whole concept was unique. We loved the street performers especially the freestyle rapping! We laughed for the whole hour. Don’t go expecting a typical bus tour or high-brow commentary but be prepared to join in. This is fun for all ages and we would 109% recommend!

Just okay - not amazing - Was excepting more but it was still okay. The street performers that the bus stopped at weren’t anything special (nothing that would cause people on the street to stop and watch). The hosts were nice enough but didn’t quite bring it home. One of them made comments about every hot guy walking down the street and I’m not sure why (Maybe he wanted to use the tour as an opportunity to make sure everyone knew he was gay?) After the third comment, people were starting to roll their eyes. The bus itself was really awesome with great visibility! We did have fun, although it seemed to only be worth about half of what it cost. Would I do again? Probably not, but maybe it would if I came across a good promo deal and was with someone who hasn’t done it before.

Yikes - Was seated in a seat completely separated from my partner and the people behind us were asked to attend a later ride. After talking to my partner post The Ride, we wouldn't have bothered. What's the point in doing something fun and silly if you are sat alone? The staff tried their best but this is NOT the show if you even get a tiny bit of second hand embarrassment. If I could have gotten off early I would have. Very short, for the price please just see ANY show with cheap tickets on broadway and you'll have a much better time. The subway "bit" came with minimal warning too and definitely not good for anyone nervous about coach travel, gets carsick on bumpy roads. Again the staff did their best but this is daylight robbery. We did it through gocity so we lost nothing but had I paid for it I would want my money back.
