Gray Line New York insider tips

Things to do in New York
1. Make the most of your time with a hop-on hop-off bus tour

Take a ride on the wild side and hop on a bus tour! It's like a rollercoaster ride but with less screaming and more sightseeing. Trust me, your legs will thank you for not walking miles. Plus, you'll get to be a real New Yorker and complain about the traffic while you're stuck in it. Check out the ho-on hop-off Downtown pass or the Uptown pass. However, to get the most out of the city you should get the combined pass and see more than 40 city sights throughout Uptown and Downtown Manhattan with this NYC hop-on hop-off tour. Switch between the two double-decker routes!

What our customers are saying about New York City

Our guest’s flight to NYC was delayed.,so we couldn’t take advantage of the tour. I bought 3 tickets which went unused. Any chance that we can use 2 of the tickets (for we who live in NYC) at a later time?? Thanks. Please advise!
