A fantastic 3 hour cruise with excellent commentary by a very friendly, knowledgeable local. We learned so much about New York and saw fabulous sights, famous bridges, the Statue of Liberty, etc. We now feel we know our way around New York well. Excellent value for money.

Super way to see Manhattan - sit on port side towards end of boat for best view. In tourist season, you would probably have to get there early for a good seat. I would definitely repeat the trip.

Great guide - geology, geography and culture - plus the sights!

Highly recommended, especially if you only have a short amount of time for exploring in NYC. We were treated to a great tour by our guide. He was knowledgeable, fun, professional, and very personable. The entire trip was breathtaking. Some may find little of interest on the north side through the Harlem River, but I beg to differ. You will get a close-up view of parts of New York that the outsider never sees--including the numerous bridges, Yankee Stadium, and the tree-covered hills and steep Palisades on the New Jersey side. Every minute was worth it. Go in the off-season and it will be nicer. We went on a rainy Friday and had lots of space to walk around the boat. There is an indoor and outdoor section. We're very pleased with the boat company - you'll be glad you took this tour!

A wonderful cruise. Lots to be seen. Three hour tour is a must to do. Very well organised.

This popular cruise was definitely worth doing on our first trip to New York City. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. You get better views of Manhattan if you sit outside on the left-hand side of the upper deck.

It was a great cruise! It was raining most of the time, but it didn't affect our sightseeing at all!

Excellent guided tour showing all of Manhattan Island, not just the sky scrapers.

Excellent commentary by the guide. Learned a lot about New York. Make sure you get on the left of the boat if possible for the better view. Well worth the money. Especially if your time in New York is limited.

The tour and narrative were highly interesting, but were spoiled by too many rude people who talked incessantly throughout the 3 hour tour and spoiled it for those of who truly wanted to learn something!

It's really interesting and so great to see the Statue of Liberty close up! I took a Bateaux Dinner Cruise as well and saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time at night, something that I will never forget. Amazing!
