New York Sightseeing Bus Tours  

If you are looking for an easy way to see all the great attractions that New York City has to offer, then there is no better way to do it then to take advantage of one of the Sightseeing Bus Tours that are cruising the city streets.

The tour bus concept is a simple one. You buy either a one or multiple day ticket and you are able to "hop on, hop off" the tour bus at one of the many stops the bus makes throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. Whether you want to visit the Empire State Building, Harlem, The South Street Seaport or even the Brooklyn Museum, there is a bus tour for you. And of course there is a paid tour guide on the bus that will give you all sorts of interesting facts about each of the sites along the bus route.

There are two major Sightseeing Bus Tour companies, New York Sightseeing - Gray Line Tours and City Sight Tours. Both offer extensive tour routes and great deals on bus and attraction tickets.

We highly recommend this mode of sightseeing for anyone who is apprehensive about riding the subway system, or for anyone short on time. The one thing to keep in mind however, is that there is a limit to how many New York City Sights you can actually see in one day. A one day pass that can give you access to 20 attractions is not very useful when time only allows you to visit 2 or three at the most. Take that into consideration before you spend the money.
