Customer Reviews

David mackay, raewyn lovell.

This was a very informative tour. Options to get off and on at any stop. Didn't utilise the evening option. A great way to get your bearings and a snapshot of Singapore. Plenty of opportunities for photos when stopped at traffic lights!!

Mark Ithell

A little pricey, but if you plan your days well you can make very good use of the service. Runs every 20-30 mins so you won't have to wait too long.

With a decade’s experience in the tourism industry, City Tours is popular throughout the Southeast Asian tourism industry. DUCK & HiPPO is a Singapore-based brand, famous for their amphibious DUCK tours and Guided HiPPO tours.

Both brands offer hop on hop off (DUCK & HiPPO in collaboration with world-renowned City Sightseeing, who offer hop on hop off tours in cities like Dubai and Barcelona), and provide audio commentary. However, it is only DUCK & HiPPO that offers a multi-day tour . However, FunVee offers a night tour , which is basically a guided tour in an open deck bus. There is no hop on hop off, but you get to watch the Lion City light up as you zoom through it.

Here, we will look at the services offered by both companies, and compare City Tours and DUCK & HiPPO to help you find a service that suits your travel needs.

1. Number of Days

Generally, Hop On Hop Off buses give you the flexibility to tour the city over a span of multiple days, sometimes even a week. However, when it comes to a longer pass, it is advisable to pick Duck Tours as they offer a 48 hour pass. However, if you’re short of time, picking a FunVee Tour will help you cover the essential landmarks in a day’s time.

You can plan your trip hassle-free and allot more time to the places you wish to explore. You may also skip an attraction and move on to the next one without wasting your precious time. The Hop-On Hop-Off bus is an ideal way to see the city, whether you’re a tourist with ample time on your hands or someone who running by a clock. Get on as many times as your heart desires, there’s no stopping.

2. Free transport Having a Hop On Hop Off bus pass lets you travel around the city as much as you want at a budgeted price. What’s more, every bus comes with luxurious and spacious seating — which means you can be rest assured that your journey will be comfortable. With numerous buses running between every attraction at short intervals, you can drop your worries about not getting to an attraction on time. Choose your route and enjoy the ride!

3. Engaging Commentary and learning Every Hop On Hop Off bus you take will keep you engaged with a witty and approachable tour guide. The guide will make sure to brief you about any and every important landmark across the city, and couple it with interesting facts that you may have never heard. Any question about history and culture will be taken up without hesitation, so you don’t need to worry about your doubts and queries. Apart from this, the guide will also talk about which landmarks are completely unmissable and those that can be avoided if you’re short of time. You will also be equipped with a pair of headphones for audio commentary in your preferred language, so don’t worry about missing out on any important information!

4. Open-top Deck If you’re worried about touring the city through a glass door bus and missing out on all the beauty, you can choose to seat yourself on the airy open top-deck of the Hop On Hop Off bus. You can enjoy the city from a completely different perspective once you’re aboard the top deck. When seated on the top deck, you will see a breathtaking panoramic view of Singapore, and will have plenty of photo opportunities along the way. You don’t have to purchase a different ticket for the same either, you may simply switch places according to your mood.

Singapore Hop On Hop Off Tour Tips

• The duration and frequency of the bus depends on the traffic conditions in the city. It is best to reach before time to avoid missing the bus.
• Food and beverages are not provided on board unless stated otherwise. You may request for water that is provided complimentary on board.
• Avoid riding on the open-top deck without adequate protection if you’re travelling in summer or winter as the temperature can get harsh.
• Make sure you take a look at the timings of the attractions before you plan your trip in order to be there on time.
• It is best to keep a track of the time table and routes to make the most of your trip.

Review: The Big Bus Tour in New York City

I absolutely loved the Big Bus Tour in New York City. It’s the best way to go sightseeing in an open-top, hop-on hop-off, top-rated tour and explore the best New York attractions !

If this is your first-time visiting New York and you want to see all the top landmarks, this double-decker tour bus will take you there.

The Big Bus Tour in New York

You may be wondering if a hop-on hop-off bus is worth it. Absolutely, yes!

If you consider the time and money spent on transportation costs, waiting for buses, navigating the subway (which can be confusing for visitors), and getting from one point of interest to another, it is worth every dollar!

I had a great visit to New York City on Big Bus Tour. My goal was to show the city to some friends from Italy who were visiting the US for the first time.

Since we only had about two days to spend together, the hop-on hop-off was undoubtedly the best decision.

From our experience, we’ll answer commonly asked questions about the Hop-on Hop-off bus while visiting New York City.

Google Reviews

Why take the big bus tour in new york.

While seeing New York from the open-top deck of the double-decker bus, the city unfolded block by block with panoramic views from every angle.

As we traveled through the streets, the sights were unobstructed and new visual backdrops were revealed.

The towering skyscrapers and colorful billboards filled the air with excitement and as the cityscape continued to change, it gave a grand feeling to the experience.

I especially enjoyed being able to relax from the upper deck of the bus while taking in the energy of city scenes.

Because I also live in a large city, the rhythm felt familiar from the elevated vantage point .

Car horns were honking, crowds traversed through the streets and there was an endless hum of activity.

Best of all, the tour gave me the chance to interact with other travelers who were seeing New York while waiting for the tour to began.

We struck up conversations and exchanged stories, insights, and recommendations during our stay in New York.

How Much is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The regular price of an adult and child ticket is $60.00 and $50.00, respectively. However, you can use the link below for discounted fares.

Get discounts for the Big Bus Tour NYC  here .

How Long is the Big Bus Tour in New York

The round-trip New York City Big Bus Tour takes about two hours from start to finish.

The bus is the perfect solution for visitors worldwide because they offer pre-recorded audio narratives and translations in five languages — French, German, Spanish, Italian, and English.

Are There Toilets on the Big Bus

No. Unlike charter buses, you won’t travel long between stops. So the best thing to do is exit at a stop, find a public restroom, see an attraction, if desired, and then catch the next bus.

If you are not sure where to find one, ask a Big Bus guide on the street. The driver may also have some suggestions.

Charter buses come equipped with a bathroom because travel is expected to be for a much longer period.

How Does the Big Bus Tour Work in New York City

The tour offers three options for purchase — 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day.

When you decide the number of days of your tour and purchase your ticket, the clock starts when your ticket is scanned while boarding the bus for the first time.

The ticket is good for 24, 48, or 72 hours. So, if you have a 1-day ticket and board the bus at 11:00 AM on Monday, it can still be used until 11:00 AM on Tuesday.

We found a ton of touring options for sightseeing in New York.

Aside from the extended period, the 2 and 3-day tickets also offer discounted bike rentals.

The buses run every 20 minutes on average. However, the first stop at the M&M store can be a long wait during peak season.

You can exit or board at any of the designated stops as much as you want.

The only exclusion is the one-loop tour Night Tour which is a panoramic non-stop tour.

Where to Catch the Big Bus Tour in New York City

During the tour, the buses only stop at designated stops.

Your ticket is good for as long as the buses operate during the day and it may be used on both the red and blue routes.

When you board, make sure you get a hop-on hop-off New York bus route map!

Big Bus NYC Red Route

The red route sightseeing tour covers lower Manhattan and you’ll see many landmarks like St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Wall Street, the Chrysler Building, and General Grant’s Tomb.

You can catch a tour at any one of the following bus stops and you can get your tickets in advance of boarding.

1 – M&M’s World – 7th Ave & W 48th St (Outside M&M World & Majestic Deli)

2 – Times Square East – W 42nd St & Broadway (at Knickerbocker Hotel)

3 – Empire State Building / Korea Town – 5th Ave & W 32nd St (at CVS Pharmacy)

10 – Circle Line Sightseeing – 12th Ave & 40th St (opposite Pier 81)

11 – Times Square North – 7th Ave & W 50th St (at Majestic Deli)

Big Bus NYC Blue Route

The blue route covers upper Manhattan, and half of the ride is mostly views of Central Park. You can switch to the blue route at red stop #2.

We recommend changing routes at stop #11 (the Majestic Deli) where you can take a break and have a nice lunch.

12 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art – 5th Ave & E 83rd St (near 83rd St)

13 – Central Park Zoo – 5th Ave & E 66th St (opposite 845 5th Ave)

14 – Columbus Circle – Central Park & Columbus Circle (SW corner of Central Park)

Tips and Things to Know Before You Go

The bus has two levels, the upper level offers panoramic views of the city but be careful of overhanging traffic lights and trees. Don’t stand while the bus is in motion.

• After you find a seat, check the audio to confirm it is working.
• Snacks are allowed. Bring a frozen bottle of water and protein bites to keep you energized.
• When on the upper deck, cover up with sunscreen to protect your skin on hot sunny days.
• If you are a family of 3 or more, take seats across from one another so you’ll have views and photos from both sides of the bus.

Tourists were lined up at stop #1 at least an hour before departure and the line extended the entire block and rounded the corner.

We decided to see other points of interest and returned around 11:00 AM.

The wait to board the bus was about 20 minutes. It was a relaxing ride and there we saw so much!

By the time we reached stop #9, we were pumped and ready to exit the bus so that we could explore the city! And you probably will be too.

Here’s the secret sauce that really made the experience memorable. Exit at stop #9 and take a FREE ferry to Staten Island.

To see the Statue of Liberty, stand on the left side of the boat. When returning, stand on the right side.

Final Thoughts About the Big Bus Tour in New York City

Overall, the tour was a pleasant way to see New York city and when you are on the upper deck, you hardly notice the traffic.

Some other advantages of seeing the city by bus include:

• Avoiding parking hassles. I mean, who actually drives in New York?!
• Photo opportunities. With the open-top or large windows, you have excellent photo opportunities as you pass by iconic landmarks and cityscapes.
• Comprehensive sightseeing of major landmarks and attractions within two hours.
• You can get local recommendations from the guides who operate the bus.

I usually opt for a hop-on hop-off bus when I am short on time or to get my bearings in the city before deciding what to do.

Either way, when you take the tour bus, it doesn’t appear impossible to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

Happy Travels!
