WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!

DO NOT BOOK!!! If you value your time do not book this one. We had a reservation for 8:20 tour. We booked this 45-minute ride because we didn't want to spend more time that for the toue. The boat did not arrive for more than an hour!! Everyone was just waiting and the staff didn't seem to care or acknowledge that they were gonna be late. They kept saying the boat is right here and you will be boarded within 10min. They had the same reason for more than an hour. This seemed to be usual or a regular thing for them. Worst experience if you're in NYC for a short time. We wasted our precious saturday evening juag waiting in line looking at othef boats passing by. I have tried many other boat tours. Trust me. You would be better off going on a NYC ferry or staten island ferry.

Great view of the lady Liberty.

The wasn’t any clear signs anywhere. There were just several groups that were not sure where to head. The actual meeting spot was in back of building. No one in red shirt. Once that was figured out the view was amazing. I think they were announcing things but no speakers near seated area so we couldn’t hear anything.

Poor Customer Service

Viator changed my tour without asking me due to weather and I was leaving NYC the next day. The refund process was impossible to follow, looping me over and over and not allowing me to fill form. I also emailed and no one answered.

10/10 experience!

An amazing experience with great views! We did a tour around 8pm and was in awe the whole time. There was both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. Definitely recommend!
