Beautiful views. It was nice to see the city from the water. It's something you'll never get to see if you take a bus tour. It was well worth the 2 hour ride.

We really enjoyed this experience -- the day was sunny and we got some great views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The commentator was very entertaining and knowledgeable and shared some interesting trivia about the buildings and the city. Last time in NY, I took the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, stopping... More

We decided to take the 1:30pm semi circle 2 hr sightseeing tour. It was a great cruise, particularly as the day was so clear, and the live commentary was fantastic. You saw plenty, including the Statue of Liberty from really close. A few people have suggested seeing the statue from the free Staten Island ferry, which you can do but... More

This cruise took about 2 hours and is a great way to view Manhattan and get the different buildings and landmarks in to perspective. I sat on the open deck thinking this was the best option but on the day I went it was very cold once we got out onto the Hudson River and the sound system wasn't very... More

We did the semi-circle 2 hour cruise around Downtown Manhattan. It was a cute little tour and the tour guide was good. Since the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are closed due to Super Storm Sandy - it was a nice way to see them. But then again, you can go on the Staten Island Ferry for free and... More

We went on the semi-circle tour, a two hour boat trip from 42nd street on the west side right past downtown Manhattan up to the UN on the east side. Great photo opportunities including two close passes of the Statue of Liberty and a close pass to Ellis Island which was good as we couldn't visit either during our trip... More

Thoroughly enjoyed the Harbour Lights Cruise. This 2 hour evening cruise allows you to see the NYC Skyline at dusk and the bright lights at night. I highly recommend this attraction - you will enjoy great views of the city as you ride under the, Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, around the tip of Manhattan, and up close to the...

The only reason we chose to go on this cruise is because it was our best option for seeing the Statue of Liberty. Because of storm damage the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island were closed when we visited NY. Overall, I wish we had not done it. To start, we tried for an hour and a half to call... More
