Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing in NYC

Big Bus Tours New York offers one of the most convenient and popular ways to see the city’s top landmarks. These iconic red double-decker buses let you hop on and hop off at over 40 stops across Manhattan, giving you flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Two Main Routes:

• Downtown Loop (Red Route): Covers Lower Manhattan, including Times Square, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, 9/11 Memorial, Statue of Liberty views, and more.
• Uptown Loop (Blue Route): Takes you through Central Park, Harlem, Upper West Side, and the Museum Mile.

You can also add the Night Tour for a beautiful view of the city lights. Many families choose the 1-Day Classic Pass or 2-Day Deluxe Pass, which often includes extras like a Statue of Liberty cruise or walking tours.

The buses feature open-top decks (weather permitting) and live or recorded commentary in multiple languages. Kids enjoy sitting on the upper deck while parents relax and take in the sights without worrying about navigation or subway stairs.

This is an especially good option for Chol Hamoed, first-time visitors, or families with mixed ages who want an easy overview of New York City.

Big Bus Tours run daily from around 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (with slight variations by season). Night tours usually depart in the evening.
