Highly original fun tour - Loved this! From the moment you get on the bus the hosts/hostesses have you laughing. It’s a brilliant spin on the traditional tour with fun facts interspersed with songs, dances, jokes, quizzes and interactive characters you meet on the street. Would highly recommend!

Such a fun experience! - So much fun! The hosts were great and interactive, the street performances were fun, and you never quite knew who it was going to be. This was a really fun way to tour the Times Square area.

Enjoyable - We used our city pass to go on the Ride. We did not know what to expect and booked it for our first full day in NYC. We really enjoyed it. It was lighthearted fun, but also informative about the city. The guides were really funny and enthusiastic. It’s a good way to see the Times Square area and other roads around without battling through sea’s of people. The actual street performers were not that impressive, but it was fun to see. I would however say it’s not worth $79 pp if you were paying without a pass. I would recommend for anyone coming to NYC. It’s very touristy and cheesy, but that’s what’s great about it.

Great trip with laughs - Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed this. It was a tour with a comedy side to it and took you around the city with street performances in different areas. We had Scott and Jackie as hosts and they were great. I’d recommend this to anyone I know going to n.y

AMAZING!!! - AMAZING!!! Such a fun way to spend the evening in the city! Make sure to get there earlier to get front row seats. However, we were sat in the second row in the corner and still had amazing views and a great time. Dont be worried about seating as there is no bad seat. We were able to see the light show at Saks whilst on the ride which was amazing as the ceiling is a window!
I cant remember our tour guides name but I have included a picture because you get this specific guide then you are in for a treat! Made our experience so special. If you get involved and throw yourself into the experience then you will get back what you put in! I laughed from the start to the finish.

Fantastic - 90 minutes of fun, the bus itself is great, our 2 MCs were brilliant and the "ordinary" people on the pavement that just happen to burst into song and dance just fantastic, honestly one of the best things we've done in NYC and we've visited 15 times.

Don't waste your time. - Not worth it!
We were told 15 mins before that our trip had been pushed back.. no reason why.
The 75 min tour actually turned out to be 55min. As for street performers, we came across 2..in 55mins!
One gentleman in time sq and 20 seconds of a lady dancing.
Waste of a morning!
