Fabulous way to match great food with sightseeing
A pretty unique way to match good food with sightseeing in New York. Food was excellent, staff are very professional and friendly. Good aircon as our day was hot. Made our anniversary a special event. Being above the crowd gave a great vantage point for some great photos too!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus?
+
Included: Written guide English, Spanish, French, Korean, Mandarin, Japanese; Includes: 1 bottle of water, 2 non-alcoholic drinks of your choice, and coffee or tea; Lunch; Audio guide English, Spanish, Korean; and Tour. Not included: Gratuity; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus offered in?
+
It is offered in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: The Bustronome Bus provides ADA-accessible boarding and accommodations on the lower level. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to NYC Bustronome Sightseeing Lunch and drinks Panoramic Bus if the weather is bad?
+
