Our guide Nathan was...

Our guide Nathan was great, as were the included sights. Our experience was very much negatively impacted by large numbers of unattended, noisy children. Your best strategy to be able to hear the guide is to get there early and sit on one of the upper decks near your guide. Also, know that outside food is not allowed, but you can purchase food and drinks on the boat.

Excellent way to spend 1.5 hours.

Went on the 1.5 hour sightseeing cruise on 24 Oct. It was a great voyage taking in all the major sights on New York and New Jersey from the Hudson and East River. The guide on board was excellent providing a humerouus but informative commentary.

Fun and informative tour!

A very informative and fun tour with an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Such a great view of the New York and Jersey City skylines. Nice up close view of the Statue of Liberty. Well worth the money. We highly recommend it!
