What people say
Amazing tour
Amazing tour. These two tour guides ( Scott and his bread and butter) made it so much fun and laugh.
Extremely overpriced and not good
Extremely overpriced and not good. The tour itself is very poor, and the comedians are not funny.
The Ride was super fun
The Ride was super fun. Our hosts were funny and the actors, dancers, etc on the street who performed were amazing. We highly recommend this 'different' kind of tour if you are in NYC.

Fun Experience
This was my 3rd time in NYC and 3rd time experiencing The Ride! It is a fun way to see different parts of NYC. The hosts are entertaining while still giving informative details about the city.
Absolutely amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience, must do this when in New York! Jackie and the gentleman were hilarious and made the trip so enjoyable. By far our favourite thing we did in nyc
A highlight of our trip to NYC.
A highlight of our trip to NYC. LOVED the ad hoc humor, mixed with interesting tidbits about NYC. LOVED the “impromptu” street experiences - especially the dancers. What a FANTASTIC idea “THE RIDE” is. Woohoo!!!

Ruined experience for our 2 grandchildren…
We planned this experience for our 2 young grandchildren, laying out the extra $$ so we could sit in the front row and they could get shout outs. Much to our disgust, when we were put on the bus, we were unable to sit with each other. We'd been told there's be a pole between us, but in fact, one person was seated across an aisle in a completely different section and was unable to participate in the experience with the other 3 people. This in spite of the fact that a) I made very clear this was unsatisfactory and b) there was another bus so I suspect someone could've figured out how a party pf 4 (NOT a particularly unusual number, I assume) could sit together. We wer told that the person seating us would "talk to the manger" whatever that means, a bs customer service line that added to the insult. We were angry, the children were upset not to be with both their grandparents, and the experience was ruined. We were completely ripped off. Unacceptable.
Not your conventional bus tour of NYC
A great way to see some of the city. Not your conventional bus tour of NYC with headphones and endless commentary about the site. You would go on this tour to have a laugh and enjoy a different view of the city. Highly recommended
We could’ve done without this!
We could’ve done without this experience during our trip to New York. We got on the bus and it drove us around the block in traffic. They kept telling the same jokes over and over “only here in New York would you see a person dancing in the street and no one care…”. Anytime there was a pause, we would just have to wave at people on the street. It was a very anticlimactic ride especially for the money that we paid to go on it. The bus was clean and it was warm, but it just wasn’t the experience for us.
A very enjoyable 1.5hours
A very enjoyable 1.5hours didn’t actually see much of the sights but the entertainers did a great job. On board team were good but this could be improved.
Loved the Holiday Ride
What a fabulous way to see some of NYC.. Julie and Julie were fantastic, we loved the interaction with the street artists and the holiday theme was so much fun. If you are in NYC this is definitely one to do!
A fun and totally different tour of New…
A fun and totally different tour of New York. Would have liked to see a few more street performers interacting with the bus at some of the main sights but on the whole an experience like no other tour.
Not all staff members are welcoming!
The ride guides were excellent, but when arriving I approached a staff member and with out saying anything he said go to the end of the line. I said I had a question, he started yelling and repeating go to the back of the line. He was rude and loud and set a bad tone for not knowing what to expect. He could have politely said, if you get in line, you will get checked in and someone will assist you. Instead he just kept yelling get in the back of the line. Even one staff member, can ruin your experience. In the entertainment business, one would expect better training and expectations of all employees.
