It was very nice and very informative, relaxing. Night Shift easy to find. arrive early for your tour.
Wear sunscreen. It’s best to be outside and there is a breeze. Lots of great information about the area and the culture.
Great experience, seeing the Statue of Liberty was the highlight. Everything is quick (take the picture as soon as you can, blink and your opportunity will be gone) and I think it would be better to opt for a shorter tour versus the 2.5 hour tour.
Brilliant cruise, guide was excellent and knew her stuff, some entertainment thrown in too. Well done Alexis
A great way to see Manhattan skyline. Just enough time to see it all. The explanations by guide were interesting.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting facts and history about New York City. The restrooms were clean and the ride was comfortable. The views were magnificent.
Loved this cruise. Very informative guide I can't remember his name. Lovely views of all of the city. Beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty.. My partner gets very bad sea sickness and he was good. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed this beautiful water experience on a gorgeous summer day. Postcard Tim gave us an excellent narration and we learned and saw a lot despite the fact that we have lived in the New York area for over 30 years! We had seen much of the Hudson party and what at the East River up to the Brooklyn Bridge but nothing beyond and never up close through the Harlem River. A really lovely experience.
We had a fantastic boat ride with Circle Line around Manhattan! The view of the skyline, the bridges, and the famous landmarks was impressive. We especially want to highlight our guide – he was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and enriched the tour with many interesting facts and exciting stories. The trip was very well organized, and the atmosphere on board was very pleasant. Absolutely recommendable – for us, one of the highlights of our New York visit!
This tour is a great way to get an overview of NYC! The tour starts and ends next to the Intrepid museum and goes around the entire island of Manhattan including a swing by Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The guide narrating the tour was terrific - fun and knowledgeable.
