Alexis was our tour guide. She was amazing and the tour was an amazing experience. Recommend it highly
The entrance cruise was amazing Nathan did a great job narrating the cruise and he had a great sense of humor. All the sights were amazing too see!
A great time: Educational, friendly crew, super relaxing, and onsite parking. This should be on everyone's bucket list. Will go again...
The most amazing views of all sides of New York City. The sunset cruise was a great way to experience a 360 view of the city, skyline, bridges and Statue of Liberty. Sun set as we cruise so views are both in daylight and then spectacular night lit city views. Bonus historical narrative along the way.
Used the New York pass to book and coastguard Tim was amazing as a tour guide!!! A must do for your first tour of New York!
Beautiful evening cruise and very informative. If you want to sit outside, on the top deck, you need to arrive about an hour early.
Great tour with beautiful views of the city and the Statue of Liberty. The evening trip was perfect as the city was lit up on the ride back. Stunning in both the daylight and the evening!
The cruise was one of the highlights of our trip. The city lights were breathtaking. My only complaint was the concession stand staff were beyond rude. We bought two expensive drinks that were made incorrectly. One person In our party had a drink that was great but two of us had someone else make ours they were undrinkable. When I asked to have them fixed the woman was sooo nasty to me. She dumped a bunch of grenadine into both of them (which was the wrong ingredient) and slammed them back on the counter. Not one word to me. It made them much worse. We had to throw them out. They were not cheap either!! For that reason alone I would not book again. Which is sad because the cruise is great. The guide continuing to plug his book was annoying too.
Great value as a tour. I’ve taken tours all around the world but never in my backyard. We decided to take this trip with some visitors and it was definitely worth the price. The midtown sunset cruise went all the from midtown Hudson River to midtown East River (to the 59th st Bridge) and then around the Statue of Liberty at sunset. The tour guide was great - just enough information to keep it fun and interesting. It rained a bit on our trip but that didn’t ruin the tour as we could jump inside as needed. But most people stayed outside the majority of the trip. Arrive at least 30 minutes ahead for decent seats.
This is in my opinion the best option to see NewYork in all its glory. Going under the bridges and seeing the best skyline in the world in the daylight, the sunset and evening glamor. And of course the Statue of Liberty as if you’re going to visit by the water up close and personal and see it right in front of you. It’s like you get 3 trips for the price of one! Make your way early and you must seat upstairs to take it all in. Enjoyed every minute of it.
