Although I enjoyed seeing the sights
from the top of a bus, I have to say I was really disappointed
with the Gray Line tour. Firstly it was very expensive in
comparison to to equivalent tours elsewhere. Secondly the
tour guide was useless; he spent so long telling us what a great
guy the driver was and how we might like to 'remember' him financially
when we got off, that he missed many of the places along the way
- often telling us about them long after we'd passed them.
With a one-day 'fun' pass (valid on the Subway and NYC buses)
costing only $4 (although it has since increased to $7) I reckon
you'll probably have a much better time doing it yourself, with
a guidebook.
