Traveler reviews
A very pleasant cruise and great staff.
My experience with the NY Circle Line sight-seeing Tours was very informative and relaxing. I truly enjoyed the tour guide's (Alexis) knowledge and humor on the trip. It was quite entertaining and memorable not just to see the sights and water but to feel comfortable listen to the historic aspects of the cruise. I am a retired worker from the Disney and Miss Alexis is a crowd pleaser and know the values of hospitality for the guests and visitors. I hope the management can send her kudos for a job well done each day or an employee of the month award. I would like to say thank you for making my trip memorable and to see how much your staff care about people and not just a business. I would suggest that the company give out each guest or visitor a coin (maybe plastic or metal with NY insignia) that the company can say thank you for choosing and to remember that they did the trip on the Hudson River. Or maybe ask if someone is just married, celebrating a birthday or anniversary and give the coin. It would be special. "just a thought" :) My stay was only one day in the city it was marvelous. An idea on the price is to give the senior citizens regardless of country (Not just New Yorkers) to get a discount. This may encourage more customers and visitors. well, if this is all about money you can disregard. New Jersey's history is part of the tour so they should get a discount too on Tuesdays if possible. One more tip, your safety practices are excellent and maybe use a yellow rope to seal off the stairs instead of white, it is more visible to the eye and a caution color. ken

NYC Liberty Cruise - great intro to NYC visit
The Statue of Liberty cruise was fantastic. Perfect length of time, tour guide provided great history about the area - great intro to NYC. Debbie was our tour guide and was excellent!
Lady Liberty Experience
This tour was so much fun. It was cold and snowing which is the complete NYC experience. The tour guides provided a safe and informative experience to Lady Liberty.
Perfect way to see the sights
We arrived in plenty of time,.boarding was very easy and simple. The guide was very knowledgeable. Yes we did have to que for our hot drinks, but it was December and cold so probably more people trying to warm up. Inside the boat we could take our coats off, outside you wrapped up. We would recommend this trip.
