5.00Such a great experience! The views of the Statue of Liberty were absolutely perfect, and you get photo opportunities you really can’t capture any other way. Darius made the whole tour, he was funny, engaging, and kept everyone entertained the entire time. He seriously deserves a raise! Highly recommend this tour if you’re in NYC.

5.00There was a mixup in scheduling. Not only did they correct it, they ushered us to the front of the line at arrival! The tour guide Molly was very informative and friendly. She did a great job. It was better than expected. I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00Darius was so entertaining and full of fun facts! Our family had a wonderful time and there was plenty of opportunities for great pictures. BUT, there is no photographer on board unless you are a VIP.

3.00Hidden cost ($39 each)to get VIP upper and middle deck seats (clean windows). Everyone else in bottom level with dirty windows and crowded outdoor area. Snacks, drinks available. Nice crew and good narrative from Molly but would seek out other tour options that are upfront with what is included in a regular ticket.
Beautiful

4.00We were able to get free tickets for this adventure. The general admission gives you admitance to the main level of the boat. It gets very crowded. We upgraded to the VIP, which gave access to the top level, one drink and food item and a picture. The boat itself is fair. Tour guide did a great job explaing everything amd you can actually hear her through the speakers
Fun experience
