Im not normally one for river cruises but as we're on holiday with family we decided to do something the majority of us would enjoy and I was knocked back with how much I enjoyed it. The crew were extremely welcoming and refreshments served on board were both reasonably priced and of good quality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area. The information was delivered clearly and in bite size chunks so all ages and abilities can grasp what is being said. Some of the views of the surrounding areas and ridiculous mansions along the Humber are breath taking. I would do this tour again, well worth the admission price of just over $20 for a 2 hour tour.

We were in the Hyde Park area for a long weekend and wanted to get the "lay of the land". Hudson River Cruises helped to frame the locations of all of the "must see" sites. The narrative of the tour was interesting and the Rip Van Winkle staff was helpful for planning the rest of our stay.
