5.00Good tour for great views of the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges! Had a sufficient stop near Liberty island to give photo opportunities to most
Informative but tightly packed

3.00Our tour guide was amazing and very informative!! Be prepared for a very packed boat with very limited seating, you will likely be standing like packed in sardines unless you buy the VIP package to sit on the rooftop deck.
Whatever you do don’t pay for an upgraded ticket!!

1.00After this cruise you are asked to give a review. I gave a review pointing out that their upgraded ticket for an extra cost does not deliver what it promises in that it claims you are given priority boarding plus a drink. In reality priority boarding is a false claim - everyone is shown to the same ‘line’ to queue and there is no designated entry as promised. When I asked if we were in the right queue for priority I was told that everyone was in the same queue and if we wanted to get ahead of people we could push our way through the 200 people already in the queue to get to the front -really??? We certainly didn’t want to risk it!!! We should have been given a voucher for a drink - we weren’t and had to make a fuss on the boat! Don’t try the tea it is appalling! When I responded to a request for a review I told them the above and got the below response which demonstrates the care and courtesy this company provider it’s customer. Yes go on the cruise it is interesting but whatever you do don’t waste your money on an upgrade. (It should be noted that had their below response addressed my concerns I would not be writing this - decide for yourself just how bad this is :-
Great city overview

3.00It was ok. The weather wasn’t the best. It was foggy and cold. They were charging $40 to upgrade when on board if you wanted to go to the VIP section. On a day like today, it felt excessive. Only sights you really want to see are the Brooklyn bridge and Statue of Liberty. Not sure I would do this again when I come back with my husband.
Boat trip to Harbor.

5.00Such a great experience! The views of the Statue of Liberty were absolutely perfect, and you get photo opportunities you really can’t capture any other way. Darius made the whole tour, he was funny, engaging, and kept everyone entertained the entire time. He seriously deserves a raise! Highly recommend this tour if you’re in NYC.
