The tours run year-round and are perfect for visitors who want to maximize their time exploring the city. Instead of navigating the city on your own, the Big Bus New York's Hop-on Hop-off bus tours allow you to relax while you sightsee.

Two Bus Routes

Uptown Loop  explore the Upper East Side, home to some of New York's most popular museums. Get lost in history and the arts by exploring the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The loop also takes you through Midtown, passing by the Grand Central Terminal and the famous Chrysler Building.  

Downtown Loop – take in the lower part of Manhattan while passing through the Flatiron District as well as Union Square, Greenwich Village and Chinatown before the bus tour heads back toward Times Square along the Hudson River, stopping at Pier 84, where you can hop off to take the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises.

Both the Uptown and Downtown routes last approximately 90 minutes when done in full.

Clear signage when we arrived. Transitions between rooms or stops felt purposeful, matching what friends told us—but better in person.

More impressive in person than the photos. Queues moved faster than expected, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs.

Audio quality was sharper than usual for this kind of ticket. Queues moved faster than expected, we left with clearer context on the venue’s history.
