TopView’s open-top NYC night bus tour shows Times Square, 5th Avenue, Village, Chinatown, Little Italy, and Brooklyn Bridge in 1.5 hours.

“So much went wrong on this tour….The bus was late. The bus pulled over for 35minutes without letting the passengers know why. They eventually said the microphone was not working and that they had to go get a new one. The bus cut off and had problems starting back up. The tour was supposed to be 1.5 hours; it lasted over 4 hours. Do not recommend.”

“This sunset cruise very much exceeded my expectations. The yacht ("Full Moon") was the perfect size, only 20 passengers, and was well maintained. Beautiful wood, not plastic. Plenty of space to move about and not crowded at all. Crew was excellent, friendly and service oriented. The perfect departure time so we saw sunset with the city lights shining bright on our return. Incredible views of the Statue of Liberty, bridges, and overall city. Full bar available. Highly recommend.”

Getting so close to the Statue of Liberty was an experience of a lifetime. The crew were so much fun and served our wine with delight, took pictures of our family , and were just all around great. I can't recommend this particular trip enough!”
