Traveler reviews
Recommend!
We were so happy with this site seeing cruise! We got a great look at the Empire State Building lit up at night. Only note is that it was quite crowded - likely due to the fact that it was rainy so no one was sitting outside.
Very good and knowledgeable ride
Very quick and easy to book the admission it is always cheaper than going to the window at the place of departure
Floating through NYC history
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and his presentation of New York City's history was anything but boring or overly academic. He brought the city's past to life with an engaging, entertaining, and almost cinematic storytelling style that kept us interested from beginning to end. His passion and expertise made the experience both educational and enjoyable.
Excellent option to see NYC, Brooklyn, and New Jersey from the river.
Beautiful walk, highly recommended. The crew, the guide, the people at the port, all very attentive and friendly. The landscapes with the sunset and the lights at night make NYC look beautiful from the river! I definitely recommend it.
Exceptionally Beautiful
We did not expect such amazing 2 hours ride. It was breathtaking and worth every penny. Highly recommended
