- Carla GSt. Petersburg, FL51 contributionsAbsolutely a super experience, The boat is lovely and the seating system fantastic. Visibility throughout is excellent. The service and offerings equally excellent and the architectural information is thorough and interesting. Visually, it is outstanding and the entire experience is worth far more than the cost. My adult daughter and I loved it!Review of: Manhattan Architecture Yacht CruiseWritten November 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gustavo WCopenhagen, Denmark19 contributionsEmbarking on the Statue of Liberty Express Cruise with my family was an unforgettable experience, blending scenic beauty, historical significance, and the joy of shared moments. From the moment we boarded the cruise, a sense of excitement filled the air.
As we sailed along the iconic waters, the Statue of Liberty gradually came into view, standing tall and majestic against the backdrop of the city skyline. The knowledgeable guide onboard provided fascinating insights into the statue's history, making the journey not just visually captivating but also intellectually enriching.
The cruise offered unparalleled photo opportunities, and we eagerly captured the moments when Lady Liberty seemed to welcome us with open arms. The sheer magnitude and symbolism of the statue became even more profound as we approached it on the water.Review of: New York City Statue of Liberty Super Express CruiseWritten December 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Jim was excellent- his depth of knowledge is extraordinary and his manner easy going and friendly. Being a walking tour we saw so much more than on a bus and really got an insight into the city from a local. Looking back I can’t believe we covered as much as we did - lunch option was delicious too !
Thank you Jim - cannot recommend this tour and Jim as a guide highly enoughReview of: Full-Day New York "Must See" Small-Group Tour plus One World Observatory TicketWritten December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Small tour group of ten made it east to get in and out of places and felt more personal. The Staten Islsnd Ferry ride and 9/11 memorial were my favorites. Bryant is a real ambassador for NYC and made this such a memorable tour.Review of: 1 New York City Sightseeing bus tour and boat ride includedWritten November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stephens473Nottingham, UK312 contributionsThis was something else , we had the Premier Tickets well worth it to get seats at the front of the boat and your own outdoor deck , you also avoid the queues.
From the moment we left the pier we were just wowed by the sky line of New York .
The guide was very informative and very passionate about his city.
Our actual boat was used in the evacuation of Manhattan during 9/11.
There is a bar on board which is quite pricey.
This is a definite must do when you come to New York , so much to see and take in .Review of: Circle Line: New York City Harbor Lights CruiseWritten November 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- djlit47Ipswich, UK98 contributionsGreat way to see NYC from the water. However one major complaint was that the commentary was drowned by the sound of the boat!! Heard very little commentary form the enthusiastic guide, who I am sure was very knowledgeable. We took the 90 minute tour which included the Statue of Liberty which gave us a great view.Review of: New York City Landmarks Circle Line CruiseWritten November 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norman HSparta, GA10 contributionsOutstanding tour of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island led by Daniel. This is a “must do” item on a visit to NYC. Daniel made the history of both of these come alive and was able to use teaching strategies that worked with all age groups and experience levels. Cannot recommend highly enough.Review of: Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island TourWritten November 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
