This was a great way to spend an afternoon on the beautiful Hudson River! The Rio Van Winkle was comfortable with a helpful staff and a narrated tour. We sailed up and down the river. Beautiful mansions, estates, colleges and scenery made for s pleasant voyage.

My group of teacher friends and I had a great trip this past Saturday. We went on the two hour Hudson River cruise. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the Hudson River and seeing the beautiful mansions! The crew and staff were excellent and very pleasant.

My husband, our adult son, and I took this cruise a week or so ago. The views are beautiful, the boat is immaculate, the staff is friendly, and the historical information was great. Things I think could be improved: the food (my son's hamburger was taken out of a plastic bag and microwaved). If you don't have cooking facilities serve some fresh, cold sandwiches, wraps, or just snacks instead. The narrator although knowledgeable,seemed a little low energy too. Just a few tweaks would make this an even better experience.
