4.00Sit in the upper level so you can hear the narrator talk about the sights you will see. The lower level is very loud and you hear the boat engines. I would recommend this tour.

5.00Just pay for VIP if you're gonna drink!! It will be worth it. Promise. We had so much funin general but better view at top.
VIATOR is not a good company to do any business with! Absolutely the worst customer service!

1.00We flew to NYC to visit our son from California. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to our boat to experience the NYC skyline boat cruise in time, too much traffic. This was for 10/25 @ 2:00 pm. We were incredibly disappointed that when we called and emailed to get a CREDIT, NOT A REFUND, to be used for another time, the answer was NO!!!! We will NEVER work with Viator again, and encourage everyone to do the same! Very POOR customer service, and just plain RUDE! This is the first review I have ever done that was negative, but it is more than warranted! The company would rather keep the $ than do the right thing for the customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.00Wow… this multi-level boat was a full-on operational miss. There’s a so-called “VIP” level where, if you buy up, you get a decent harbor view, or your option to stand outside on the deck. If you don’t pay the upgrade? Congratulations—you’re funneled to the lower level with windows so dirty you’ll be guessing what landmark you’re passing. Buyer beware, truly. And the tour guide? Think volume at max capacity with a brassy delivery. If your goal is to get the authentic NYC experience featuring local teens who got handed a mic and no guardrails—this is absolutely your product. Hard pass.
Great Views, Okay Tour

3.00The views of the city from the river were amazing. The boat, was okay. We upgraded to VIP and the area was a big open space with folding chairs around the perimeter. It was not as crowded as the general seating, but expected it to be a little nicer for spending the twenty extra dollars. The speakers inside were also SO loud. You couldn’t even talk with who you were with. I’m glad I went to see the sights, but wish the atmosphere on the boat would have been a little better.
