Excellent tour. We had a great narrator/guide and learned much about both sides of the Hudson. NYC is magical at night, as is the close up to the Statue of Liberty. Get there 1 hour early to get an outdoor seat though.

If you are doing this for pictures alone you are fighting others for the pics other options like the edge. Top of the rock or empire may yield better results I was disappointed with this tour I was injured and unable to see many of the sights or get pictures we did do this on a weekend which I believe impacted upon our experience Take a boat on your own go on a cheap ferry instead or use one of the viewing platforms in New York

I was born and raised in Brooklyn and this tour was top tier!! Our tour guide, Nathaniel (I believe that was his name) was incredible and was VERY knowledgeable about all 5 boroughs as well as parts of NEw Jersey. It was the perfect tour for this native New Yorker to just sit back, relax and take in the city lights. I’d definitely do it again!!!!

In my view, this is the finest city cruise in New York, offering a breathtaking skyline as twilight descends. I did this every year.
