Here is an overview of a New York City Bus Tour.
Bus Tour Advantages:
- NYC bus tours give you a nice overview of NYC
- Include day and night outdoor NYC bus tours and cover parts of the City you may not see otherwise
- Great if you are with people who cannot walk for many hours
- Cost of many attractions are included with a NYC Bus Tour pass
Bus Tour Disadvantages:
- An expensive way to get around the city if not seeing a lot of attractions with admission prices
- Tour guide knowledge is not guaranteed
- Announcement to all of NYC you are a tourist
- When the bus tour is over, you still will have to take taxis or learn how to use the subways
Now the question is do you want an Attractions Discount Pass that includes a New York City Bus Tour or a Bus Tour that includes admission to attractions?
Let's look at a comparison of a CitySights New York City Bus Tour, a "Do-It-Yourself" Itinerary and the New York Explorer Pass (5 attractions):

Notes:
- The CitySights Bus Tour and Attractions Passes do NOT include a reservation for inside the Statue of Liberty, which will always be an additional $12.
- NYC Metrocard costs: 1-Day $8.25, 7-Day $27, 14-Day $51.50, Per Ride - $2.50.
- Suggested donation for Museum of the City of New York is not included above in the NYC or Explorer Pass total
- All the Hop on Hop off double-decker tours are valid for 72 hours from the time you arrive in NYC and exchange your confirmation e-mail for a boarding ticket. The CitySights NY Super New York Tour includes 72 hrs of double decker bus sightseeing and attractions! They include the Downtown Tour, Uptown & Harlem Tour, Night Tour and Brooklyn Tour.
If you are seeing a lot of attractions and also want to take a New York City Bus Tour, then likely the New York Pass (bus and pass package) or New York City Explorer Pass (included) are best for you. Otherwise, the CityPass includes a $5 off coupon for a CitySights Bus Tour.
Now you have booked Cheap Flights to New York, gotten a New York City Hotel Deal, reserved Statue of Liberty Tickets and New York City Broadway Tickets and decided on a New York City Bus Tour. You can stop now and just jump on the plane or look at the three main discount Attractions Passes.
