5.00This was a GREAT tour!!! It was hot but on the boat, it was breezy and felt great. It was just the right amount of time, not too long and not too short. We also loved getting a lot of really close-up pictures of the Statue of Liberty. Debbie was awesome!!! it was just the right amount of facts and information and also some time for just playing music and relaxing. We are so grateful!
