Traveler reviews
Great afternoon on the Hudson
We did the "Urban Naturalist" version of the fall foliage tour up the Hudson. It was delightful. We set out on the Manhattan with a very well-informed guide. The foliage was not up to peak colors yet, but the scenery was still striking with the palisades on one side and the Manhattan skyline on the other. It was a lovely cool day. Perfect for the cruise. They provided refreshments including sodas, snacks, and portion of a submarine sandwich. The latter was an unexpected plus. We highly recommend this tour. Afterwards, we walked along the Highline up to Hudson Yards. Perfect afternoon.
FANTASTIC CRUISES EVERY TIME!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Classic Harbor Line! I'm a New Yorker and once in a while I like to hop on one of their perfectly kept vessels just to leave the city for a couple of hours. It's always a calming and soul refreshing experience. The fact that you can have a glass of vino and snacks makes it all the more delightful. I'll be back very soon :)
A+ would do again.
Had a wonderful time on this tour last weekend with Conor and Sean. They were the perfect hosts. The boat is extremely comfortable; we had wonderful weather and spent most of the time on the front deck, but even if we hadn't been so lucky it still would have been worthwhile.
A beautiful day on the Hudson!
We went on the Fall Foliage tour on an absolutely beautiful day. We spent time on the deck as well as at the table (which since there are four of us and shared a table in the corner with another couple felt a little cramped). The guide, Gabriel Willow, is excellent. He was very knowledgeable as well as friendly and approachable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It was a great way to spend the afternoon!
A wonderful day trip
This was a wonderful day trip to bring my 81 year old mom to. The crew was helpful, the tour guide interesting and the view spectacular even though it was not prime peep leaf season.
