Having been to New York before, this time I thought I would look at the city differently with a few trips.
If you're good with boats, I would definitely recommend this tour!
For anybody that gets motion sickness, it's not the best.. unless you board the boat right before setting off!
These tours advise you to arrive quite some time before departure to ensure everybody gets there on time, if you do arrive early, you may be sat on the boat for about an hour and depending on the conditions of the water, it can get quite rocky.
If you're going in the cold season, I would definitely recommend wearing thermals or taking a blanket, etc.
The top deck got VERY chilly, especially when sat waiting to depart and when moving as the breeze picks up.
Of course, you can sit inside but you don't get the stunning views like you do outside.
Tour guide was great, very informative and jolly.
Food and drink are served on the lower deck throughout the entire tour.
The tour allows both sides of the boat to get good views of the sights - Manhattan & Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the NY Skyline.
There is also a photo opportunity before boarding which you can buy on board if you wish.
Stunning views, I would highly recommend this tour.
