    Shelly was very responsive and understanding. She helped have our tickets booked and made any of the requested changes quickly and completely.

    Took the bus from Bethesda to New York, no problems, fast, efficient, everything went well. On our way back, the bus was not the one from the company, it was an “Academy Bus” the space between the seats was ridiculous, either there were 1.5 Dr between seats or barely half a ft. We ended up in one of the non space ones, you have to sit with your legs open to find comfort and try doing that for 4 hours! It was totally horrible. We sat uncomfortably the whole way back. I saw a few other people trying to lift their legs. I don’t know if this was done so more people can fit in but it’s terrible.
    If you get to travel on the black bus from the company you are in for a nice trip, if not, good luck!

    My Ovrride bus trip to Bellayre mountain for a weekend ski trip was terrific. The tour guides were helpful and fun, and went above and beyond to ensure our trip went smoothly and helped us with several questions we had along the way. I will use this bus tour service again in the future, and recommend it to anyone who would look for a fun ski trip with friends or family.

    I never leave reviews, but this Empire Limousine is deserving on one. So glad I came across this service ! The agent I spoke to over the phone when I called them was very helpful. She even helped me setup the whole event. I had multiple people working along the process but everything was made super easy for my office staff. My staff got the text messages when they arrive at EWR Newark Liberty Airport and I also got the text and email regarding each reservation. They were a little pricy but its worth every penny. I was relaxed and they took care of everything.

    It claims entertainment but the TV screens never came on and if your phone is dead then you have no entertainment. It felt very bumpy and loud ride and we were burning up. Could not get any air to come out and cool us off.

    PPB8641 3p-6:25p Baltimore White Marsh stop on 9/9/2024-the two stewards were extremely rude when they got my luggage, kept asking me where I put it and did not want to even open one more sector door and kept loudly saying “come on”, the other one was like “you gotta remember where you put it”….dude what is your problem???

    Getting the tickets and the coach there and back was fine, done this loads of times and well worth the trip. This time the only down point was the rudeness of the driver there, who spoke to me when I asked a simply question about my ticket, like I was the stupidest person alive. I get the impression hes quite used to speaking to maybe non-english speaking passengers anyway he wants, but when he spoke to me that way (from the UK) hes $10 dollar tip went straight back in my pocket!!

    We bought a one day hop on hop off for DowntownLoop and Brooklyn - we mainly wanted to see Brooklyn.
    The guide for Downtown was great but the Brooklyn guide was quite rude and arrogant. He even said he was rude like most New Yorkers!

    The first bus we were booked on was cancelled with no notification, so we caught the next one, that ran fine, even though we were late.

    We used this company twice while in New York, both times they exceeded our expectations! The smartest and most polite drivers you could ever hope to encounter.

    Our drivers David & Michael, were brilliant! Both went out of their way to make sure two British visitors were looked after in the best possible way. Booking was straightforward, with any queries quickly responded to by the office. The cars were on time (early!) and spotlessly clean; you couldn't ask for a better service.

    You cannot go wrong engaging this company!

    Best birthday pizza tour, the trolley seating was perfect for interacting with friends as you can sit across from one another. Plenty off room to move around on the trolley.
    Great experience!

    Thank you New York Trolley!

    Traveling from DC to NYC with my husband. With Amtrak prices nearing $200/person we opted for the more affordable option and paid $25/person to take the express bus. And well, I guess you get what you pay for. The bus is AWFUL. It’s 41°F outside and there is NO heating. All of the armrests looks like the one pictured below. The climate control panel is missing over some seats. The driver was not pleasant at all. He started the trip by saying, “we do not make rest stops on this bus, I am a driver not a nanny. We only stop when I have to pee.” I am so grateful that we have booked the train for the remainder of our trip.

    I have used Golden class for a transfer from JFK to Manhattan, the car was so nice and clean. Our driver was super friendly and helpful, he had to wait for us for an hour as our flight delayed but without any extra charge. They track the flight and give you 1 hour free waiting time for the international flight, which is huge PLUS...
