Is it worth doing one of the bus tours?

Hi, any advice would be appreciated. I will be staying for 4 days. My friend who i%26#39;m going with is dead set on doing one of these tours. She is quite happy to turn up there and see what happens. I on the other hand want to plan my trip down to the last minute! Is a tour advisable, it does cover most of what we wanna see. I just imagine we won%26#39;t finish a whole tour as we%26#39;ll be getting on and off. so to me seems pointless spending 拢30 odd quid on a bus ticket when me may only go a couple of stops.

Or should be get around by ourself and just see what we wanna see?

txs in advance.

I would use the subway to get around and skip the tour bus (which will sit in traffic)

We did both the uptown loop and the downtown loop on our first trip and loved it. We also used the subway extensively, but for different reasons (like getting to shows). I really liked the bus tour because I feel like I saw all of Manhattan right at the beginning of the trip and then we went back to what we were really interested in via subway or bus.

We took the uptown loop on the Citysights bus the last day of our trip, mainly to rest our feet. I enjoyed it alot more than what I thought I would.

It is a good way to get familiar with the city when you first arrive. I did 2 loops and it was great. I hopped off the bus where I wanted. The ticket I bought was good for 48 hours, which was great. Once you find an area you really want to spend more time at - take the subway! The guides on board gave a good commentary along the way! Have fun!

Thanks for the advice guys.

we did the grayline tour in nov 06 which was very good but like bobbyc says you can get around vey quickly on the subway

As a NYC native I would recommend a short double decker tour on a nice day only. You can see lots of great sites , sounds, and architecture. Send me a message if you have sight seeing particulars. I could guide you best if you give me a questions

did it twice and it is great to get familiar with the city. Then you can walk or subway back to areas that interest you more.

The night Brooklyn lights one is great though. You cant get off but lights great.

We bought the Grayline tour 48 tour and they gave us a an exdra day for free. Ask for it, you will be surprised. We used it as a general guide and then used the subway to go back to specifce sites. If you take it during the middle of the day you will get stuck in traffic and it seems to take a long time. The night tour was great and relaxing. I would suggest taking the tours as early as possible to avoid the traffic.
