5.00This was a perfect tour to do on a cold day in December. It was only 50 minutes, but it got you out on the water for some great views of lower Manhattan skyline, New Jersey, Brooklyn, plus the bridges and of course the Statue of Liberty. Debbie was a tour guide and she was absolutely AMAZING!!!!. She talked about the history of the area from the 1700's to 9/11; she was funny, she gave us some "insider" tips of New York. It was a great experience for adults and kids.
Comfortable short tour taking in the NYC and NJ skyline and Statue of Liberty
