City Sights New York offers bus tours that let visitors see the city directly from the bus, or take a bus tour that allows them to hop on and hop off at various attractions and further explore them on their own. The company owns 60 double-decker buses with seating on the top deck for the best views. For visitors who prefer to see the sights from the bus, City Sights New York offers trips to different areas in New York, such as an Uptown and Harlem tour, a tour of Brooklyn that includes the Brooklyn Bridge and a night tour of the city that gives riders a view of Times Square and the Manhattan skyline. City Sights' other bus trips allows visitors to get off the double-decker bus and explore some of the stops. These trips tend to be more spread out, and can run over several days. The Super New York Tour, for example, lasts three days and includes a ferry trip to the Statue of Liberty and a ticket to the Empire State Building. The four-day Shop, Hop and Top tour takes visitors to an outlet mall, on a cruise on the Circle Line and to major New York attractions including museums and the Empire State Building.
For visitors looking for a comprehensive tour of the city, Gray Line New York offers a sampling of New York from the top of a double-decker bus. Over the course of 48 hours, its Classic New York tour takes visitors to several hot spots in the city including Brooklyn, the United Nations, Battery Park and Times Square. The tour also includes a ticket to either the Empire State building or the Top of the Rock observatory, a ticket on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, a ticket on a water taxi cruise or a one-hour cruise on the Circle Line and a pass to the South Street Seaport Museum.
