The tour guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable. Other than that, it wasn’t great. There were so many people packed onto that boat!! Everyone wanted to be outside, so you were surrounded by tourists without concerns for personal space, standing over you and snapping photos. It was impossible to get a photo yourself through the sea of people. We finally got some relief by just moving inside where there were far less crowds, but the view just isn’t as good with the windows distorting the view. I’m glad it was only an hour. There has to be a less crowded tour if you want to see the Statue of Liberty!!

We was told when we bought the tickets that we was going to the Statue of Liberty, I asked specifically is this the boat that takes us to the Statue of Liberty where we get off and tour. The man says yes it is. We also was told it was a 4 hour tour and it was not. He also charged us for 6 adults and it was 3 adults and 3 kids with one being 2 years old

Perfect way to see NYC from the water. Love that it had an air conditioning option and snacks for the kiddos too.
