Very well organized cruise, as described and departure on time. The boat is good, there are also plenty of places outside. The boat slows down to take photos Satisfied with our choice

It's not worth it, it's practically the same as taking the ferry to Staten Island. The boat access staff treated us terribly, we had a problem with the reservation email and the girl who reviewed the codes spoke to us with an absolute lack of respect, even criticizing us with other clients, mocking us and thinking that we were not understanding her properly. what did he say; Shame on others for what they did. I was at the access to the Circle Line on Sunday, October 22 at 4:30 p.m.

No French translation during the entire cruise. For the price it's a bit unusual. An audio guide would have been appreciated, especially for children
