About this experience

Best of NYC: Hop-on Hop-off Tour + Empire State Building Tickets + Circle Line Cruise This three-in-one New York combo covers Manhattan's essential sights by land and water. Your 48-hour pass includes a double-decker hop-on hop-off bus with over 40 stops, Empire State Building observation deck access, and your choice of Circle Line cruise. You can explore at your own pace across two routes: the Uptown Tour passes Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, while the Downtown Tour hits Times Square, Wall Street and Greenwich Village. The buses run every 15-30 minutes between designated stops, giving you complete flexibility to spend as much time as you want at each attraction. From the Empire State Building's 86th-floor observation deck, you'll get 360-degree views across Manhattan, the Hudson River and beyond. The Circle Line cruise offers either a 60-minute Liberty Midtown trip or 90-minute Landmarks cruise with live English commentary and multilingual audio guides. As a bonus, your Big Bus ticket gets you free Butterbeer Ice Cream at The Harry Potter Store. The combination saves you buying separate tickets whilst covering NYC's most popular sights efficiently.

The hop-on hop-off buses are wheelchair accessible, though strollers must be folded and stored on the lower deck. Children aged 2 and under travel free but must be accompanied by an adult. Tours don't run on Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve, and severe weather may affect services.
