3.00Covers the basics. There are views of the statue and the tour guide was knowledgeable about its history, and history of the local sights. Definitely efficient way to punch in your NYC sights. Get your pictures in quickly—tour guide kept telling us not to run “because the statue isnt going anywhere”—but the boat certainly is! 😂. Dont expect quality food in the snack bar—bagels are old/dry; toaster doesnt toast; didnt have any cream cheese or more than one small packet of butter.
Lesson learned to book directly with the ferry, not Viator

1.00I missed it by a few minutes due to traffic and Viator would not let me reschedule to the next ferry. The circle line allows you to reschedule if you purchase through them, but Viator refused to let me do so.

5.00The circle line was great and our guide was very charismatic. There was plenty of seating available and our group wasn’t big so that was a plus! The views were fantastic, definitely recommend!
