We loved the tour! We arrived 1 hour prior but the open top deck was full. We were allowed to stand at the front of the boat which worked out better! The views from the water were amazing. The skyline including the One World Trade Center Tower, Empire State Bldg, Statue of Liberty, The Brooklyn Bridge and so many other landmarks were stunning.. Viewing NYC from the water is an experience like no other - a mesmerizing work of art. The sunset and night lights topped the trip. Even the day pics are absolutely wonderful. You will be so happy you took the tour. My friends were amazed by the pics and videos posted. Loved this - 110% A++
