5Highly recommend
Beautiful and very informative. Andy was great! The views were surprising, the water was calming and this gave me details on the city I never knew I was interested in.
5Definitely recommend this tour.
Mu husband wasn't sure about the length of the 2 hour cruise he thought it might be too long, but itvwas just right. The commentary thoughout was great and we could hear it perfectly without having to use the app. Would definitely recommend.
1Beware limited view seating and incorrect start time
Please be aware that over half of the seating on the boat is inside with very limited viewing of the NYC skyline. Once the seats on the upper deck are filled, the only option is sitting in the enclosed lower deck and the windows are such that you can only see eye level and you miss the experience of seeing the night sky and lit up sky line and also the windows are dirty. The whole point of this trip is to see the skyline lit up at night and that is not delivered for at least half of the participants. Also the ticket I purchases was for 7pm with the advisement to arrive 30 min early. I arrived around 6:15pm, all of the upper seats were taken and the boat departed at 6:45. The time on the ticked did not reflect reality. I was very disappointed. Waste of money. The best view of the skyline were when we got off the boat and stood around the docking area and could look up freely and see the buildings. One other thing, when sitting on the lower deck, a line of people forms down the aisle between the left and right seating area. The people are lines up to access the concession stand, and while they are in the line, they are also blocking the view out the windows.
5Excellent Sunset Cruise
Nice really enjoyed it. All that we expected and more.
5Perfect sunset cruise
Decided last minute to book this trip and so glad we did. The views as the sunsets are picture perfect. Also great opportunity to see the Statue of Liberty up close. We sat at the very back on the padded seats and found this to be the best seats for seeing everything. Wrap up as it does get cold!
5Great Cruise
Great cruise , good way to see a different angle on New York with good info given by guide. Get there early for best seats on boat

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
