Traveler reviews
Cancel when it rains!
It rained. I waited for a cancel email but they decided to go forward with the lights tour. It rained so there were no lights to see & no visibility. Plus they kept both the front & back doors open so it became quite chilly. A very cold & not enjoyable experience!
Nathan is a top bloke!
What a fantastic way to spend a few hours. Relaxed, calm, no sales bull. If you get Nathan to narrate the trip, consider yourself very lucky. What a guy. So informative and funny. My 13 year old boy even told me how much he appreciated Nathan's knowledge. Definitely recommend it.
Not to be missed!
What a brilliant night! Staff in booking office , pre boarding and onboard very friendly and helpful. Bar had a good selection of drinks and snacks, we didn’t buy food but did have drinks. Toilets were nice and clean. Alexis did the commentary and she was great. Lots of great information about what we were passing, really interesting and nicely interspersed with some great humour, an extremely amusing lady! Star of the show was the New York skyline. I was concerned that by the end of the trip at 9pm it might not be dark enough but it was perfect! We had an amazing sunset over the Statue of Liberty - particularly amazing as we’d had no sun all day!! The absolute highlight of the evening was the final 10 minutes, the view was perfect and Alexis serenaded is with a few verses of New York New York! She can certainly carry a tune and was given a well deserved huge round of applause. Can’t recommend highly enough - boat is really big, plenty of seats inside and out and great view no matter where you sit
Great tour
Great night tour. Very informative and interactive.
A grand evening
Exceptional experience and one of the highlights of our New York trip…. The breathtaking iconic views were majestic and the commentary was fantastic .. A must do tour if you visit the big apple
