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+

5.00Nice afternoon cruise around Manhattan. It was a wonderful way to relax and see the city skyline. It was a blustery day in the city, but it was warm and comfortable on the tour boat. The English language narration was well done, and the app offered narration in numerous languages. The boat was clean and quiet, and they had a snack and beverage counter. The staff was great!
Great tour

5.00This was exactly what we were looking for... A guided tour that took us close to Ellis Island to get some good pictures, and a cruise back... and in under an hour. Our tour wasn't very crowded, so we could easily move around and change seats.
Super

5.00It's a very nice place, from the moment you arrive until you leave, you'll feel very lucky. First of all, we would like to thank the restaurant manager, Mr. Emir, and then Mr. Semih.
Great View!
