Do it!
Awesome cruise. We are so glad we went all the way around the island. We saw things we never would have
Alexis was amazing
We were lucky to have Alexis as our guide, she was informative, funny and talented. When she sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Statue of Liberty it was an amazing experience. I have lived on Long Island my entire life, and had never done this trip. So glad we did, the weather was perfect and it was great seeing Manhattan in a whole new way.
Great Tour- just needs a little Change in Presentation
Ok-I’m going to be very honest here. The boat trip was wonderful - it was a gorgeous day and was very comfortable sitting in the fresh air looking at NYC from the river. Andy, the guide, seemed like a really nice guy. He tried to be funny a lot- I don’t think it was appreciated especially since there were a lot of people present for whom English was not their primary language. I think he should stick to the tour-not about himself and where his family came from, etc. he talked very quickly and a lot- a few short breaks. We wanted to know what we were looking at and some history. He did provide that - speaking very fast and not giving people time to find exactly what he was referring to on the shore. Like I said, he seemed very nice and I hate to write this but think he needs to hear it. I do highly recommend this tour. I took this trip about 10 years ago and enjoyed it so I brought my friends on it. We all agreed Andy has to slow down, talk less, and keep it all about what we are seeing.
Great NYC experience!
We took the 2.5 hour tour on a beautiful Saturday at 1:30. Our tour guide, Andy, was so knowledgeable, interesting and funny! We learned so much about the island we would've never learned on our own. The only bad part was a family next to us talked constantly! However, for a tourist or a NY'er that wants to learn new things, this is some of the best money you could spend.
Great trip for us
The boat and crew were all very nice …the narrator was very informed and interesting. Boat was very clean and well organized
