Grayline Double Decker Bus Tour - New York City, NY Reviews

My wife and I recently took our three young boys to NYC for a long weekend over the July 4th holiday.  Our youngest is 3 and our oldest is 8.  We had a great time.  One of the activities which we took advantage of which was admittedly very touristy was the Grayline Double Decker bus tour of Uptown.  It was great and I would recommend it to any family that wants to see parts of the city they would ordinarily not get to.

The tour left from 47th and Broadway.  It went north on along the west side of Central Park all the way to Harlem in the mid 100s.  It then came down south on 5th avenue. ...

Grayline was great in helping us to see the sights from a distance. NYC can be overwhelming and this gave us a way to see what all the city had to offer. We bought a three day pass that included all the touristy stuff like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building etc. In hindsite I would reccommend taking the whole tour - Uptown, Down Town and the night tour all on one day. Make note of what it is you really want to experience and then take the Subway back to your desired location the next day. - The hopper idea was good but traveling on a tour bus eats a lot of free time. - I love the subway...

Want to see ALL of Manhattan without subways or expensive cabs?
Grayline Tours delivers - literally.   You will be driven past nearly every major landmark in the city, from south to north.  Best of all, you just sit there and relax, listen, laugh and learn.  It's fantastic fun.  Loops include Uptown, Downtown, Brooklyn and Nighttime/Holiday.

The Best Value
The best bang for the buck is the "All Loops Double Decker Tour."  This is a hop on - hop off two day pass, which gives you enough time to see just about everything you could ever want to see.  It's fantastic for first-time visitors.  Leave...
