Loved "The Ride" NYC - We really enjoyed The Ride bus tour - completely unique, we've never experienced anything like it before! Stuart and Julie were fantastic hosts and the street performers were brilliant. It's completely over the top so it might not be for everyone, but our group loved it! Plus picked up some great facts about NYC too!

Fun, entertaining way to see some sights - Absolutely brilliant and entertaining. The girls on the bus were witty, fun and full of fun trivia. We got to see some of the sights with added fun shows. It was very cold waiting for the bus.

The Most Fun Tour Bus in New York City! - If you're looking for a tour that combines the sights of New York City with a hefty dose of entertainment, The RIDE delivers in spades. Part show, part sightseeing journey, this theatrical bus tour is an unforgettable way to experience the Big Apple and the highlight of our trip! From the moment you step onto the custom-built bus, you realize this is not your typical tour. The seats face the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you a panoramic view of the city's iconic streets. The bus itself feels like a rolling theater, complete with lights, music, and two charismatic hosts who keep the energy high throughout the 75-minute journey. What makes The RIDE so unique is its interactive element. Street performers are scattered along the route, seemingly blending into the urban landscape before springing to life. A hip-hop dancer suddenly broke into a routine, or a Broadway-style singer serenaded us on the sidewalk. The hosts tie these performances together with clever banter and fun facts about NYC, keeping us engaged and entertained. This is a tour designed for fun, not deep-dive history. If you're hoping for a detailed educational experience, you might be disappointed. However, for those who want to experience New York's vibrant energy in an unexpected way, this is it.

Just Okay - The Ride was just okay and I don’t think it’s worth $80. The entertainment wasn’t as exciting as I hoped it would be. I would not recommend this unless the price decreases.

Don’t waste a night out in NYC ! - Awful night that never lived up to the hype or expectations ! Street performers average at best hosts on bus tried their best but a very cheesy night out that I would advise anyone to miss . Bus is comfy and you see good views of city but mixed with confusion of a tour, quiz and disco does not work ! I would do a musical which we attended which was much better value with great performances
