4.00It was cute little boat ride, the wind was a little chilly but being able to take in a few sights was fun. My daughter got to see the statute of liberty, even though this boat didn’t stop at it.
It was very informative...

5.00Good price. On time. Easy to get ticket as no wifi needed. Narrator was very knowledgeable. Well worth the money
Perfect circuit for a first approach to the statue and skyline

5.00Lots of seats outside. Perfect tour (a small round trip across the beginning of the Hudson and under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges in addition to the Statue of Liberty). The only downside is that outside you hear absolutely nothing about the explanations in the guide (so I can't tell you if it's interesting or not). And maybe it's better that way to contemplate quietly.

5.00This trip was perfect for our group! We had small children in our group so we were afraid that the longer tour would be too much for them. This short boat ride out to see the Statue of Liberty up close was amazing! The children and adults enjoyed this trip!
Very enjoyable short sightseeing trip

5.00Really interesting and informative trip. Only small criticism would be the volume of the speakers on deck, as sometimes it was quite difficult to hear in the wind.
