Traveler reviews
Worst experience Ever !!!!!
Well first let’s start with communication there was none from the start of us getting to the pier until we finally left an hour later and having to pay 60 dollars for parking for an event that never happened! We got to the pier at 12:00 on the dot . When they finally called they lied and said the boat left at 12:30 but keep in mind we were told the boat was having issues and would be a little late . That’s not the issue the problem was them not showing up at all then lying about it . I had 3 different conversations and all of them were very scam like I would never suggest this to anyone . The first time we were offered another ride but they were going to charge an additional fee which is crazy because we already paid for a boat that didn’t show so why would I pay again without proof I’m actually going this time . Then the man just stopped answering or would pick up and not say a word we were told to speak to this booking company to get our money back because this is ridiculous worst experience EVER !!!!!DO NOT TRUST THESE SCAM ARTIST THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND TELL U THE BOAT CAME EVEN THOUGH U NEVER GOT ON A BOAT !!
Scam. Absolutely to be avoided.
A disaster. We were herded to the tip of Manhattan by a horde of fake guides who work for the company that organizes the cruises... they sold us tickets at double the price, promising an immediate departure... then we waited for an hour... to see a bus arrive that then made us go through all of Manhattan in traffic for an hour... for barely an hour of a noisy and uncomfortable cruise, where not everyone had a seat... a scandal. Absolutely to be avoided. A real scam.
Disappointed
This was my friends' first time in NYC and we never got to experience it. Soon after I paid for the tour, the guide called and said he didn't have room for my group. We were all pissed!
Low quality
Inept in many ways: Docking - captain inexperienced and time consuming Unprofessional staff Chairs facing reverse (the view did not match the monologue) Explanation: As the director was speaking the view didn’t match
Good experience
Everything is just as they said. Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed the tour. People in the cruise were super nice. We had such a good time :)
