We enjoyed our time on the beautiful Hudson River. The crew were very nice , helpful and the narration was interesting.

The boat was lovely and staff were very kind. However the sight seeing cruise was a little boring for little ones. We had to move downstairs because people were upset if you walked around and the lower deck smells of gasoline from the motor. I do not want this to sound all negative because it wasn't. Just wasn't the right cruise for children. I had an 8, 10, 12 year old with me.

I have lived in this area for quite a while and had been on several music trips on the "Rip" but never took the site seeing tour. Not only was it a beautiful day that I got to spend with my family, I also learned things about the Hudson River that I never knew. I highly recommend it, not just for when out of town guests come but also if you live right around the corner.
