Big Bus NYC: 1-Day Hop-on Hop-off Tour with Empire State Building

With a 1-day Big Bus ticket to New York City, you can follow two hop-on hop-off routes—downtown and uptown. In addition, gain entry to the 86th-floor observation deck at the Empire State Building and enjoy convenient transport service to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty National Monument via round-trip ferry. Rather than booking separately, save time and money with one ticket.

- Board a hop-on hop-off Big Bus at any stop along two routes
- Explore the sights of downtown and uptown Manhattan
- Admission ticket to the Empire State Building observation deck included
- Travel round-trip by ferry to Ellis Island and Liberty Island
