Awesome guide. Vivid narrative of history of New York city and also various land marks around Manhattan. My advise is to go early ( say 35 to 40 minutes before departure )so that you can choose a seat of your choice. Choose a seat on left side as most of the land mark buildings come on the left side. There is not much difference between premium and standard seats except for the cusion on the chair and a small reserved accommodation. You get price advantage if you book directly on circle line website.There is also a photo session before you board. Costs $20 for two snaps. You can buy it if you like it. Enjoyed the cruise very much. Not to be missed.

I loved the views of the bridges and of Roosevelt Island. Andy was a great tour guide. His stories brought the landmarks to life. I was intrigued by hearing how living on the waterfront was definitely frowned on in the past, though certainly not in the present.

Voted the best attraction of our 4-day trip to New York by all 5 of us! Andy made it so interesting with his witty and informative commentary - a definite MUST DO for all first-timers in New York and proved the best orientation trip on day one.
