The 90 minutes was the perfect amount of time for us. The information leading up to the trip was also very helpful!Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tracy B9 contributionsThe views were amazing! We took so many photos and our tour guide, Anthony, was very friendly , knowledgeable and an excellent speaker/teacher!

- Badgergirl144White Plains, NY7 contributionsI took this tour once many years ago. It is still a fresh, wonderful experience. Very knowledgeable guides. Fun for out of towners and residents alike.Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Colleen H2 contributionsI would recommend the Cirle Line Complete Manhattan Cruise. If you have the time this is the best cruise to do as you see so much more. The guide was very knowledgeable. The boat was lovely and clean. It was nice to sit back and relax from the city bustle and watch the beautiful scenery go by.Written September 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa BKirkland, WA12 contributionsWe decided to do this tour on our first day in the city to get a good overview and see where we wanted to spend more time. Highly recommend it. It was awesome! Our guide, Bryant, was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, you could tell he knew his stuff as a New Yorker who is passionate about the city & what he’s sharing - not someone who’s reciting learned lines of data. We loved his reverence to the 9/11 memorial and all of his New York history knowledge. The Staten Island Ferry pro tip he shared was priceless!!Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
