Best of NYC Cruise with Circle Line is worth the time and money

5.00We live in NYC, and love finding new ways to explore the city. Love how this tour takes you around the entire island of Manhattan to get great views of landmarks. Especially appreciated the narration of our tour guide, Tim R. He was a wealth of knowledge about the sites, and knew how to set people up for the perfect picture. Very friendly and took time to talk to people and answer their questions. The boat is well maintained with lots of indoor/outdoor seating. Whether you’re a tourist or a New Yorker, this is a great way to spend a couple of hours.
Great Sightseeing Experience

4.00This experience was nice, clean and fast. You get to learn about multiple histories within a reasonable time so you can still go on with your day after. They do offer an inside and outside area which is always nice when traveling with kids.

3.00We've done Viator tours on many occasions & usually there is a guide contracted with Viator that we meet at a designated place. The guide WAS the Circle Line Tours guide and he was great! We could've paid less just buying tickets directly from the stand. We had a great time on the tour but Viator really had nothing to do with it.
