5.00The mini cruise to see the Statue of Liberty was very exciting, knowledgeable and relaxing. The 50 minutes tour was perfect time. The weather was great and I took lots of pictures. The tour guide explained the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge The World Trade Center and other surrounding buildings. We passed Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty which was very pleasant see. I recommend this mini cruise.

1.00Worst experience on the boat to the Statue of Liberty. Too many people packed on the boat, no music, and the whole experience was disappointing. Never again. I would not recommend it at all
Terrible customer service

1.00They are not going to make an exception and let you reschedule or give a refund even though there was a thunderstorm going on at the time of the cruise. It says you can cancel last minute but you will NOT get a refund. Ridiculous.
Great tour guide

5.00It was excellent and the staff nice! It’s perfect and it’s a round trip, the only thing it doesn’t stop in front of the Statue of Liberty, but anyway you get a perfect view from both sides. Thank you!

4.00My last day in NYC and I only had a few hours. Great time. Great price. Great views. It’s a must see. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Only suggestion. If you are up top outside you must sit close to the guide or you will not be able to hear. The guide stood on one side and i was on the other. Between the wind and others talking with excitement made it hard to hear. Otherwise A+
