Nice sights, for some nice pictures. Enjoyed the knowledge briefing from the tour guide. When I had to use the bathroom I found it easily.

Nice view of Manhattan and Lady Liberty. Debbie was very interested and fun to listen to. They allowed us to attend a day earlier since there was availability.

Was a quick tour but just right because we only had a few days in the city. It was cold outside but the boat was warm on the inside. Easy to find. Informative, great tour host, and got our pictures in.

I love using Viator! It's an awesome way to plan your activities. My family and I really enjoyed our visit in New York! From eating great food to seeing and touring different sights, it was an amazing experience. Also, it has always been on my bucket list to see the Macy's Thanksgiving parade in person! Oh we enjoyed it so much! And seeing Lady Liberty, OMG! We were staying in a beautiful hotel as well that accommodated us beautifully. I was celebrating my 60th birthday, and it's definitely a birthday I'll always remember! Also, seeing my photo of my husband and I on display on one of the the screens (Pele) in Times Square had us feeling like a celebrity for a day, lol! We can't wait to come back!
