Remember that bus tickets are activated when you use them for the first time. Tickets last for 24 calendar hours. Therefore, it is best to activate them first thing in the morning so that you can make the most of the day. However, if you have another activity in the morning, you can wait until 15.00 to activate your ticket and it will last for 24 real hours until 15.00 the next day. Tickets for more than one day are always for consecutive days.

The recorded commentary included during the bus tour is in up to 6 languages: choose from English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Portuguese. If you don't have your own headphones, don't worry, you'll be offered one free of charge when you get on the bus.

    I arrived in NY for the first time and I was nervous because I thought that if I wasn't careful I would end up getting lost in the streets as I travelled on my own. This tour helped me a lot, although it didn't make me an expert on the city, I already know several interesting places and more of the streets to get around.

    Having the ability to decide when to use the bus and when not to use it to attend to other matters without worrying about it is a great thing.
