Great sightseeing tour

5.00Amazing tour. The staff were great and very attentive to our needs. The boarding procedure was very organized and ship departed right on time. They offered a complimentary drink with our tour ticket. The ship goes right among the shore and you can see the skyline and some iconic buildings in Wall Street. When you get to the Statue the ship stay still for 15 minutes or so so you can calmly take all the pictures you want. The crew also offer to helped us to take a picture of the 4 of us (shout out to Pedro and his great service). The tour groups are small so don't worry about crowds, you have plenty of room to take photos. We also pass the Brooklyn Bridge on the way back, that was a great view as well. It was our first time in New York, so overall great experience, I would recommend this trip to everyone, even if it's not your first time seeing Miss Liberty.
Worth it

5.00Lovely experience. Cute boat. Nice crew. It was nearly impossible to find legal public parking anywhere nearby though. We spent about 2 hours finding a spot. Plan ahead
Classy and Family Friendly!

5.00My family and I have always wanted to tour New York by boat, but generally there was never enough time. This time with Trip Advisor recommendation, we finally took the tour, It did not disappoint. The accommodations were perfect for a family of 5. The crowd size was great and the food and service was world class. I will do this tour again on my next visit to NYC.
