5.00Nice historical commentary. Got to see all of lower Manhattan and stopped in front of the statue of liberty. But felt the commentary was a little repetitive and a little bit too much.
Our wonderful ferryman!

5.00Wonderful and informative tour by our personable tour guide. Apparently he has been operating on the Circle Ferry Line for more than a decade. His storytelling approach and humour made our first NY ferry ride a wonderful experience. We raise our glasses un praise! Thank you!
Fun Trip
