    There was quite a long wait for buses due to heavy traffic in New York. It was a good oversight of the city. Would have liked more education of the areas/buildings as we were going.

  • Not Enough Buses

    The tour was informative with good stops. But the huge issue was we had to wait almost 45 minutes to get on a bus because there were over 20 people in line in front of us also waiting to get on. Each time a bus arrived it only had four or five seats available. It was a long time in between buses. Everyone around us were upset about how long it took to get on the bus.
