5.00The cruise around the Statue of Liberty is a unique experience to have! You feel as though you have accomplished something magical during your stay. Before reaching the statue, there are of course the magnificent views of the buildings, the towers, the Brooklyn Bridge... And then the statue itself, which is a symbolic moment. I really enjoyed my trip. To include in your activities without the slightest hesitation! The tour is guided (in English) with an option in French (maybe), but I was not at all disturbed by that. Thank you An experience to live!
