Boat is good, tour guide/music way too loud

4.00I’ve done this tour a few times - a good go to when family comes to town. The boat is good as always, but the tour guide this time around was really really loud on the mic and the music was way too loud. Kind of hard on the kids ears that we had with us. Would recommend finding a more manageable volume so it’s easier to relax and enjoy the experience.

Poor Communication and Customer Service

1.00Extremely disappointed with this experience. Due to severe winds and cold weather conditions, I attempted to contact the tour operator to discuss rescheduling or cancellation options. Despite multiple attempts, I received no response. The lack of communication and customer service is unacceptable, especially when weather conditions may impact the safety and enjoyment of the tour. I understand that weather can be unpredictable, but customers deserve timely communication and support. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this operator.

5.00I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who has not previously been to New York. Our tour guide, Darius, was very knowledgeable and presented the information and specific photo opportunities in a very informative and even entertaining manner. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as did our cousins, who were traveling with us.
