Tim the Legendary Tour Guide

5.0010/10 recommend this tour! It was the perfect length of time, well worth the price, and we loved our tour guide, Tim. He was hilarious, personable, and very knowledgeable. It was a bit windy up top but if you bundle up it’s worth being outside for the views. Tourists will be tourists but we were able to get plenty of good pictures and make the most out of our tour with our main man Tim and his comic relief :)
Very much disappointed

5.00The experience was great. The captain drove the boat around the harbor and made sure that all angles of the boat were able to get great photos of the sites. So don’t worry if you sit on one side of the boat and the Statue of Liberty is on the other side. They redirect the boat so everyone has a chance to get a great picture. Overall great experience. It does get a bit windy as expected in open water. Be sure to dress accordingly if it’s a colder time of year. Would definitely do the ride again and at the price, it can’t be beat
Amazing Tour!!

5.00I don’t remember the tour guides name, but he was absolutely outstanding. He engaged everyone, most importantly my 8 year old daughter, who was nervous in the big city. He completely relaxed her with his goofy antics and made it such a memorable time. The staff in general was very personable, took pictures for everyone, smiled, and made everyone feel welcomed!
Great
