3.00The tour was beautiful, however there was no coordination, the tour was in English and I hired it in Spanish, they changed my time 2 times and that caused us to waste 2 hours waiting for the next assigned shift. The tour itself is a success, but you must improve.

5.00I really enjoyed this experience. We were able to get really close to the Statue of Liberity without the hassle of standing and or waiting in long lines in the hot sun.

5.00A quick and easy torture the Statue of Liberty if you want something fast. If you would just like to float by and see and be able to take pictures while on the boat, this is a great option for you if you are looking for something more interactive and getting off at Ellis Island do not choose the tour.
Ok, at best

3.00Too crowded and too hot in the cabin. Probably would have been better if they didn’t overbook. I guess the experience is to be expected given the price I paid.
Delayed start disrupted day.

1.00We were scheduled for a 12 pm departure. At 12:30 the boat was still docked so we left. When we left the boat no one inquired why.
