New car he’ll be like it was literally two hours and the views and experience and everyone was amazing I purchased two photos the price wasn’t too much but I would say with the food it was really kind of overpriced but other than that it was a great experience

Coming back to the harbour with the lights coming on was amazing. Getting so close to the statue of liberty from all angles was brilliant. Well worth the money. Just the downsides was the service at the bar was extremely slow for such an amount of people onboard plus the tour guide we had made some scathing remarks about other countries and made it sound like America was superior to every other country which he more or less said were sh#tholes. This is something I found extremely alarming and is the main reason I would be reluctant to recommend this tour to friends. The tour guide was very insulting in my opinion to non native Americans with the way he spoke about other countries

Peter griffin was our tour guide and he would not stop yapping he gave like 30 facts for each building he pointed out. We was not funny and very corny and nobody laughed at his jokes. -10k aura. And we didn’t find Lois Griffin but we found Stevie at the bar eating gummy bears. If we did see the Statue of Liberty. Do not recommend.
