I have not posted any new post in the last four months; I was observing The Battle of the Double Decker Tour Buses; here in New York City. We have approximately five Double Decker bus companies wanting to show and tell you NYC stories. So, which one is the best for your buck. From my experience and knowledge of the business, it's how the company operates, their history and mission. Its not too much about the money because cheaper is not better not even for your body when you get home and wonder why you are feeling itchy all over; it's the Double Decker you choose and the ride you road especially if you did not hop off and on. You gonna feel it. Even getting stranded in an unfamiliar place because there are only six or nine buses running and the mic system does not work so your really not getting a tour because you can not hear the commentary. Or the bus so old you are yo bumping all over the place hoping you will make it back safe.
Therefore the best double decker company to ride on is; Big Bus why? Because the ride feels as if your riding in a limo or a Rose Royce, hey a Bentley and the price is not cheaper than the others but reasonable. If you buy your tickets online it's even cheaper.
www.BigBustours.com also if you travel to any city or country where the big bus is established; you get 10% off but you have to show your ticket from New York City. I learned that there is a Big Plus when you use Big Bus and they make sure of that too. So Hop On Hop Off with Big Bus in New York City and enjoy the Tour make sure you let Trip Advisor know how it was.
Hop On Hop Off is the best way to see New York City,
So then, which one should you go with? I say do your research and check out the buses and the tour guides you will be surprised of what you will learn and/or the tips you decide to do on your holiday in New York City.
I only suggest you use the hop on and hop off bus companies that have a real and live New York City tour guide; not recording.Why, because they are there to assist you on your New York Experience, the experience will be unique and they are licensed by The City Of New York which means drug test, background checks and etc. has been conducted and had to learn the history of the City in order to obtain the license.
Therefore, if you have any problems with the tour guide you can contact the Department of Consumer Affairs and they can be stripped of their license. Hop On Hop Off those Double Decker buses you see all around NYC which provides you with a Professional license Tour Guides. You Hop On and Off Uptown, Downtown, Brooklyn and the www.bigbustours.com the Bronx. Please remember to tip your Tour Guide they are Service Providers more so than waiters and waitresses. One tip from a Tour Guide can really make a big difference in your trip. FYI, when you take pictures from the top deck of the bus it will look like BAM, your right there. Plus you get to see three of the five boroughs of New York City during trip within 24 to 48 hours. Hop On Hop Off.
Enjoy and Welcome to New York City
