This was a wonderful cruise as Darius our host was excellent in giving us a condensed history of NYC w/in a short time period. He & all the staff aboard made this event a great one, Not to mention when we seen Ellis Island & the great statue herself, Lady Liberty it was really an humbling experience do suggest if you can upgrade to the VIP do it. The snacks were OK but the drinks, especially the slushy w/ the gummy worms well worth it. Darius & photographer(s) thank y'all soooooo much. (I almost forgot to mention the yacht rock music they sent us away on)
Great cruise and even great guide. Jose really knows NYC and history. He made it fun and there was a photo opp with Lady Liberty in background.
A nice trip spoiled by too many people pushing and loudly talking so narration was hard to hear. Narrator spoke too fast.
Amazing way to see the NYC skyline and Lady Liberty. Tour guy was extremely informative, funny and a true New Yorker!
If you don’t purchase the priority or premium ticket, ensure early arrival. This gives people a chance to obtain a seat or a really great place to stand and see the sights.
Seeing the sites of NYC from the Hudson were great. The person who was our tour guide was really great
Once on the boat, it was a fun experience. Definitely a great way to see & learn about the history. However, the time before boarding was a bit chaotic and seemed a little unorganized.
Molly was an excellent tour guide, the night was perfect and the views spectacular!
We loved every minute! It’s a very fair price for all of the landmarks and amazing views. It will make you nostalgic for NYC.. The staff- especially Roberto and Molly were very professional and customer oriented. The other guests were having a wonderful time, good vibes. This will be remembered forever and thank you for such a spectacular experience!
The boat tour itself was good. The experience was definitely lessened though by the volume of the music and the volume of the moderator or guide. The volume was so loud that you literally could not hear yourself. Speak to the person next to you.
