Scam

1.00They steer you away from the actual Statue of Liberty tour in Castle Clinton and make you charge $50 for their private tour instead of the official one. The sellers say if you didn’t make a reservation in the official website you have to pay with them. Very misleading. Next time I will ignore these scammers.

5.00A perfect trip on a hot summer day to see NYC and the harbor with a breeze! We were running late and they waited for my husband who was parking the car. So friendly and accommodating. Great day!
Priority Boarding NOT Priority Viewing

3.00Just because you pay extra for priority boarding does not mean you will have great view from where you sit. We have some trouble standing for long periods of time so paid extra for priority boarding thinking we could sit and have a good view. Not so…when people stood between us and the railing. We missed a lot because we could not see through them!!
Fantastic tour,...

5.00This was an excellent experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many points of interest on both the Hudson and East Rivers, as well as in New York and New Jersey. The view of the Statue of Liberty was breathtaking. Well worth the money.
