A Good Tour Even in the Rain.

Be sure to have a plan to escape once the tour is over and everybody leaves at the same time. It was raining when we left and getting a cab required walking several blocks in the rain.

Float the Hudson

Good tour. The full loop is dependent on tide. Unfortunately it was low when we were scheduled for our ride, and had to settle for an abbreviated trip

A MUST!

One of the best decisions we made was to take this cruise. You will love it, highly recommend this. The guide was so much fun. We both learned more than we expected and saw more than we ever knew existed or had heard of. Don't miss doing this!

NYC sightseeing

Great way to see the sights & learn some history. Andy was a great tour guide. Only complaint was it was hard to hear if you’re sitting outside. The speaker may have been out.
