Great way to see statue of liberty but that's about all we saw due to the weather as it was raining and was quiet miserable and cold on the boat.
Handy to get a few of the big-ticket, must-see items included on the one pass at a decent price but other that, none of the other offers included were really that good. The promise of being able to by-pass the queues was a joke - we still queued for over an hour to get onto the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island ferry as everyone was in the same boat (pun intended) as us. Ditto for Top of the Rock. The only time jumping the queue comes into play is if you're there early enough to beat the hordes.
Card very easy to use. Able to get in to everywhere easily, no hassle. Really need quite a few days or to be super organised as some of the queuing times etc take up quite a bit of time e.g. Statue of Liberty and Empire State. We would use this again though.
We really enjoyed the cruise. The employees were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It would have been nice if the cruise had stopped in front of the statue of liberty for a photo opp. But the day was misty and not so good for pics anyway. We would recommend this cruise. I have already recommended Viator to all my friends and family.
Enter your review hereWe just want to say how great that our tour guide, Georgine, was yesterday when she took us to the Statue of Liberty. She was extremely knowledgeable, witty and accommodating to everything that we wanted to do on the trip. Some tour guides that we have had with other services want to control everything but Georgine was flexible and so easy to get along with the whole time.
We would definitely take a tour with Georgine again and we highly recommend her!
Thanks again for a great tour!
This was the best New York tour we have taken. Our guide really made it terrific !
She (Bernice) added so much extra detail and personal experience.
We all became friends by the end of the tour.
The guide did an excellent job of keeping track of everybody
(not easy as we had a few "wanderers" )
Much better than just going to ground zero!
You really got the sense of what NY is all about
The bus drivers, Water Taxi (with priority boarding) personel etc all knew the guide and added interesting details as we traveresed some of the more interesting parts of the City and NY Harbor.
Great view and photo op of the Statue of Liberty from the boat.
Outstanding job, we highly recommend this tour and especially Bernice!

If you plan on doing the usual tourist activities on this pass: Empire State, Top of the Rock, Cruise to the Statue of Liberty etc get this pass it makes life so much easier.
Simply print out the order you receive once you have purchased then take the print out to your first destination of choice.
This will then be exchanged for a booklet with all the other activity tickets inside its really that easy.
I was worried it would not be valid or something but don't worry its really common in New York.
This pass was good value for money, including all the major sites. We visited NYC over the Easter period and it was very busy so even though we had the City Pass, we still had to queue, especially at the Empire State Building and for the Statue of Liberty cruise.
We had a fabulous 90 minute tour of the harbour. The guide was very informative and provided enough information on the different buildings, bridges and the Statue of Liberty. He was aware of not talking too much and spent time with individuals answering questions. The booking in at the start of the tour was smooth and well organised. i would definitely book with this company again.
This was a disappointing tour. The experience of going to Ellis Island and the Saute of Liberty was great. The skip the line part of the tour was only good for the first ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty . We had to wait on line to leave the Statue of Liberty and go to Ellis Island and then again to return to Manhattan. As a group of 45 people we followed the guide from the meeting place to the Ferry. Because of the large number of people in the group and the city noise it was difficult to hear the guide. Once we exited the Ferry at the Statue of Liberty. Our guide told us he would be in the cafeteria and if we needed him we could find him there. He said we might see him on Ellis Island. We were expecting that a walking tour meant he was going to show us the Statue and tell us the history behind her and then accompany us to Ellis Island, showing us the noteworthy sights. That didn't happen at all. Not really sure what I paid for. We were very disappointed in the so called tour and the lazy tour guide. This would be better titled by leaving off the "walking tour" portion of the title.
Great trip around the island. We really enjoyed seeing the city from the water and the Statue of Liberty was awe-inspiring! Our tour guide was quite interesting. We had a very good time.
A very usefull pass, you have a lot of discount, you don't have to wait to buy one or you have a smaller line to wait. Except with the statue of liberty, I recommend to go early because otherwhise there is a very long row.
This tour was very nice. We saw the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, reconstruction of Tower 4 (World Trade Center), and much more. Well worth the price
The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue was a gift to the people of the United States from the people of France in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution. Over the last 120 years, the Statue of Liberty has become an internationally-recognized symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty is the most visited tourist attraction in New York. It is also the most well known place in the world. At the time of the Statue of Liberty's dedication, she was the tallest structure in New York and the tallest iron structure ever erected. Its design and construction were recognized at the time as one of the greatest technical achievements of the 19th century, and, when finally dedicated a decade later, it was hailed as a bridge between art and engineering. Lady Liberty remains the visual and spiritual center of New York Harbor.

Good value for money. I would strongly reccommend you do the Empire State Building Observation Deck early in the morning (when it opens) and the boat out to The Statue of Liberty, as these lines can be about 2 hrs long.
