Well it covers absolutely everywhere you would want to go in NYC

I would do the downtown loop day one, with the Brookyln loop when you get to the Seaport (part of the downtown loop) and then the other 2 on day two.

Don't know how long you have in NYC, but if it's only a couple of days, I would give this a miss as you can travel to the places you want to go to far quicker than being stuck in the traffic on a bus.

Also depends when you are going............ if it's cold, then no as you will want to stay downstairs and then you don't see anything, but if it's warmish, then you do the upper deck which has no roof and you get great views of the sky scrapers etc

It seems a lot of money, but it's only £20 a day for one of the most expensive cities in the world which is ok really. Get your lunch and have it on board as you get driven around !!

Also........... don't buy the voucher online unless you get a discount as there are $10 off coupons in most inflight magazines or kicking around the airport - I saw quite a few last week when I was there (which would NOT have been a good time to do it as it was minus 5 !!)

Hi Evelynw yes i have used the grayline tours. We booked a bus tour for i think about $45 which was excellent value as it allowed us to see a lot.

We also booked a helicopter ride over the statue of liberty.

They have lots of agents on the streets at times square selling the tours and they were excellent.
