Amazing - Amazing, put it on your list. The hosts are engaging and entertaining, one for all the family. Only small point, The Ride could work on his air conditioning

Fun & laughter - This is such a fun thing to do. You sit sideways on bus. Big window in front & above. The two girls we had hosting it were brilliant (sorry can’t remember names we were on 3rd July) you drive around New York stopping at certain points & being entertained. Don’t want to spoil it for people but we didn’t stop laughing.

Best Sightseeing Bus....and more - A brilliant and unique way to see some of New York city. Be prepared to get involved with people both onand outside of the bus. Lots of surprises on the way round, made even more special if you're celebrating an occasion. Worth every penny.

Book, Book, Book!! It’s simple yet fun and worth the Ride!! - This was fun, it was entertaining. I wish it could have been at least 30min minutes more, with more entertainers. They all were soooo good and fun to watch while riding through the city. So fun!!

It was a great overall... - It was a great overall experience! A lot of fun on the bus as well as entertainers on the streets! It was fun to learn about some history of nyc as well. Only downfall was it was very hot and stuffy on the bus and there was limited air flow. It being summer and hot outside this made it even hotter.

Disappointed - I would have given this experience a 5 but after weeks of going back and forth with this company to assure my special shout-out (that I paid for) would happen for my boyfriend, never took place. Even though the guy assured me it was still going to happen before we stepped on the bus!!! When I mentioned as I got off the bus that my shout-out was not done, the guy said “oh no”. That was after we gave him a $20 tip. It just stinks that’s all… otherwise it was a fun lil experience…

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!! - NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!!!!!! DO NOT GO ON THE RIDE IN THE SUMMER!!! We had an awful experience on the Ride this week. The performers were absolutely incredible very important to say! They are extremely talented, super funny, and tried their best to make the experience enjoyable. However we took the Ride as a way to get out of the heat and see the city..we assumed the bus would be air conditioned on a hot summer day in the middle of July. We assumed incorrectly. There was not a drop of air conditioning on the bus..it was hotter in the bus than outside. Felt like we were cooking in a hot metal box. My boyfriend and I felt faint and dehydrated by the end of the 45 minutes ..which we were patiently waiting already for the ride to end because of how unbearable it was. I again made the assumption this was a mistake or malfunction as I could not fathom that a tour bus would not have air conditioning so I emailed their customer service with ticket details, times, and information about the bus. They emailed back saying they checked everything out and that our experience is up to their standard they expect. Meaning there isn’t even MEANT TO BE air conditioning on the Ride. And it’s acceptable for the performer’s shirt to have entirely changed colors from the sweat. I am very disappointed with our experience and for such a HIGH PRICE it’s unacceptable that this is their standard to not have air conditioning on their buses.
