Really enjoyed the tour

I was very lucky as it was a warm and sunny September day. Michael, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and presented this in a very funny and witty manner. Did the 1 1/2 h tour due to some time constraints on my part. Would happily do the longer tour as the longer tour is supposed to take you all around Manhattan.

Terrific To Do on a beautiful day

Great experiencing the city from the water - a boat ride plus city tour! Having the leader to describe the sites is so much better than audio tour or the like. For 1 1/2 hours, you cover so much!

Mini cruise for a breath of fresh air

Route designed to discover Manhattan in a different way. Approach close enough to the Statue of Liberty. Interesting tour under the East River bridges to Long Island City and back from another angle.

Nice cruise! Tour guide was great (:

Tour guide was great! Went on 9/13 in the early afternoon and he was very knowledgeable and funny. Boat wasn’t too busy and had good AC. Multiple Bathrooms which is also nice. Cruise went under all the popular bridges and stoped by the Statue of Liberty. The boat stopped and lingers by popular areas for good photos. Entire cruise had great views! Would recommend
