Itinerary
Pass by: Great opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime photos, videos, and selfies with Lady Liberty herself from the cruise ship.
Pass by: View the iconic Freedom Tower, a focal point of the Lower Manhattan skyline.
Pass by: Travel under the legendary Brooklyn Bridge. An amazing opportunity for photos and videos.
Pass by: View of the Manhattan Bridge, from a whole new perspective. As we make our way along the river, you'll be surrounded by stunning views of the city skyline and some of its most recognizable landmarks. Our experienced guide will share with you the history and architecture behind the Manhattan Bridge, as well as other interesting tidbits about the city's rich culture and heritage.
Pass by: Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, with a one-of-a-kind design. It's suspended in mid-air, giving you the feeling of floating in the sky with 360-defree views you can't get anywhere else.
Pass by: Recently built from the ground up, Hudson Yards on Manhattan's West Side is a triumph of culture, commerce and cuisine.
Pass by: After welcoming more than 12 million immigrants to our shores, Ellis Island is now a poetic symbol of the American Dream.
Pass by: Chelsea Market was constructed in the 1890s and was originally the site of the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced. Chelsea Market is now a world-class food hall, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
Pass by: Owned by the City of New York, the High Line is a 1.5 mile-long elevated public park, greenway and rail trail on the west side of Manhattan.
Pass by: Governors Island is a 172 acre island in the heart of New York Harbor. It's only 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn.
Pass by: Dumbo's name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character. Trendy Dumbo's cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings are the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes.
Pass by: South of 14th Street, Lower Manhattan is comprised of diverse areas such as artsy Greenwich Village, hip Tribeca, vibrant Chinatown, and the buzzing Financial District. It’s home to the Whitney Museum of American Art, along with One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

Traveler reviews
Dodgy set up!
Really strange set up and odd people with very limited customer service skills. Felt like we were being tricked into the trip. Ultimately had to request a refund before the shuttle bus took us to the boat, which was apparently not leaving for 90 minutes after we bought the ticket! Got the official boat that’s run by the parks authority for 50% less cost.
Avoid Big City Tourism Liberty Island Ferry at all Costs!!!!!!!
When exiting the Battery Park subway stop, you are hounded by guys wearing vests that say "official", but this is all a scam. We wanted to go to the Liberty Island, and the guy told me that they stop there. I felt something was off, but still went ahead with the purchase. After buying the tickets, the man walked us to the bus, which I thought was very odd. Luckily, that bus was full so we waited for the next one. At that point, I started googling the company and saw of the negative reviews. Also on the ticket, it states that they do not stop at Liberty or Ellis Island. I went back to the guy and asked for a refund and then he got really upset and told me that his machine couldn't refund us, which I knew was a lie. I went through my credit card company and successfully got my money back. Advice to others, do not even engage with these people. They are all con artists who are great talkers, very aggressive, and will lie to you (there is a lot of ongoing construction at Battery Park and they will tell you the park is closed - all lies!). The only official company that will take you to Liberty/Ellis Island where you can get off is Statue City Cruises. Buy your tickets online or go to the Castle Clinton National Monument inside Battery Park (looks like a fort). Again avoid any person near the subway station trying to sell ferry tickets!!!

Circle line tour by Viator
This is an amazing experience to view the sky line and Statue of Liberty. The tour guide did a fabulous job by explaining the each step of the journey. Also, it was great to have a photographer on board who helped our family to make our trip memorable.
