5.00This is a must do tour. We arrived 3 hours early as we were just sussing out location. We asked to change time and the guy obliged with no fuss at all. We boarded for 11:30 am and had a fab trip over the bay to Lady Liberty. Fabulous commentary and genuine love of NY by host. Worth your time at a great price. Loved this, highly recommend and I'm a top reviewer.

5.00Everything has the choice to ride outside or in a cool air conditioned area. Very nice tour with lots of history. My suggestion is other languages should be posted due to the diversity of the tourist.
Great way to see NY by boat!

3.00Microphone was cutting out. Guide didn’t really have a script or seem like he cared about his job. He went around and asked everyone where they were traveling from, you’d think he’d put in more effort for all those from China, Australia, Scotland..wouldn’t recommend this.
