6 friends took this tour; narration was excellent and the views of the skyscrapers were exceptional. I wish to thank the cruise line for delaying the departure on October 31, as my friends and I were misdirected by MapQuest, walking, and were 10 minutes late for the departure. 3 went ahead, told the ticket takers there were 3 more coming as fast as we could, considering a sprained ankle and recent back surgery Exceptional customer service!

Excellent tour. We were extremely lucky with the weather. Informative tour guide who gave a great insight into the city. Only improvement area - turn the speakersup a bit on a windy day:)

We did the 2.5 hour "Best of NYC" cruise which we really enjoyed. First 1-1.5 hours were really good as you see Manhattan from the water then cruise by Statue of Liberty (which is the main attraction) and few other landmarks New York is known for. Personally after that it was just being on a boat and looking at other buildings which was nice as the tour guide had some good info but I think the 1.5 hour landmarks cruise would be more than enough for the standard New York visitor. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone. 4.5/5 from me.
