It was a great experience. The staff on the boat was very nice, we learned new things about the NYC architecture, and got pretty close to the Statue of Liberty for some great pics! The only thing I would recommend changing is the tour guide recording, the boat went faster than the recorder trying to explain the buildings.

The cruise was great! The cost was fair and reasonably priced. It was a good way to see some sites in an efficient way without eating up a lot of time. Great idea to make it 1 hour. The crew was very nice and was quite accommodating especially with assisting people with their photos. Having the guide was great to help provide context to the things we were seeing. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Very friendly crew and amazing views! Does not land at Ellis island. Arrive as early as possible, as the line to board can get long. We got a table on the first floor by the front of the boat, they open the front deck once the ship gets moving which provides seating unlike the rear deck.
