New York Uptown Bus Tour, the Big Bus Blue Route, Park and where John Lennon was tragically shot

These tours do make New York so much clearer.

I felt I knew it a little after the three tours, whereas when I went there before I was shell-shocked and confused. We chose Big Bus as we had met them in Rome and they let us film. Thank you, Big Bus, because it means we have three very good films to explain This is the blue route, but please look at the others; Big Bus Red Route, DownTown and the Purple Midtown Route. I add there may always be a detour, it happens in New York, especially on Sundays, but this is pretty much the route as planned. Normally the first bus leaves at 8 am and the last bus leaves at 6 pm, from near the Big Bus very helpful customer information centre in Times Square near M&M World. Wear something warm if it is chilly, don’t stand up, especially on this route, and keep your head down as trees and traffic signals hurt! Our film has a lot in it, but nowhere near all you will see and take in from the great guides.
