Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Jerry, was so knowledgeable and gave a really good overview of the history and layout of the 5 boroughs. He had a lot of interesting facts, that made the trip so enjoyable!

Great way to see NYC and Statue of Liberty from one tour. Boat was clean with toilets and small food court, staff friendly and tour guide really informative. Easy to book time slots and well organised!
