Great opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime photos, videos, and selfies with Lady Liberty herself from the cruise ship.

One World Trade Center

View the iconic Freedom Tower, a focal point of the Lower Manhattan skyline.

Brooklyn Bridge

Travel under the legendary Brooklyn Bridge. An amazing opportunity for photos and videos.

Manhattan Bridge

View of the Manhattan Bridge, from a whole new perspective. As we make our way along the river, you'll be surrounded by stunning views of the city skyline and some of its most recognizable landmarks. Our experienced guide will share with you the history and architecture behind the Manhattan Bridge, as well as other interesting tidbits about the city's rich culture and heritage.

Edge NYC

Edge is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, with a one-of-a-kind design. It's suspended in mid-air, giving you the feeling of floating in the sky with 360-defree views you can't get anywhere else.

Hudson Yards

Recently built from the ground up, Hudson Yards on Manhattan's West Side is a triumph of culture, commerce and cuisine.

Ellis Island

After welcoming more than 12 million immigrants to our shores, Ellis Island is now a poetic symbol of the American Dream.

Chelsea Market

Chelsea Market was constructed in the 1890s and was originally the site of the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) factory complex where the Oreo cookie was invented and produced. Chelsea Market is now a world-class food hall, shopping mall, office building and television production facility located in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.

The High Line

Owned by the City of New York, the High Line is a 1.5 mile-long elevated public park, greenway and rail trail on the west side of Manhattan.

Governors Island

Governors Island is a 172 acre island in the heart of New York Harbor. It's only 800 yards from Lower Manhattan, and even closer to Brooklyn.

Dumbo

Dumbo's name is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, and the span gives the creatively oriented neighborhood much of its character. Trendy Dumbo's cobblestone streets and converted Brooklyn warehouse buildings are the backdrop for independent boutiques, high-end restaurants and trendy cafes.

Lower Manhattan

South of 14th Street, Lower Manhattan is comprised of diverse areas such as artsy Greenwich Village, hip Tribeca, vibrant Chinatown, and the buzzing Financial District. It’s home to the Whitney Museum of American Art, along with One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

We were duped. They caught us right after we got out of the south ferry subway station. We asked them if there was a cruise that would drop us off at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island because that's what we drove all the way from Wisconsin for. They said yes but they were already fully booked and that we would have to be finger printed and ID'd on both islands(an officer later told us that this is illegal). They had another cruise that just drove us around the islands and the city skyline. They seemed legit so we just went with it. We bought our "tickets"(in quotes because they weren't handprint or even digital. they just gave us a receipt of them) and they walked us to a shuttle bus that went to their boat. Keep in mind that there was another ferry service right in the area of the subway station but we couldn't see it due to trees being in the way. Once we got on the shuttle, the boat they had us go on was 15-20min away. When we got there, we had to wait 30min minutes for the boat. I also had to used the bathroom really bad at this time and the closest bathroom was a good walk away from the boat which sucked(I lost my sunglasses due to feeling rushed in the bathroom because of this). It wasn't as bad when cruise actually started though considering we knew we weren't getting exactly what we wanted. The sights were very beautiful and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, there were a few inconvenient sensory things though related to the boat stability, the volume of the speakers in the boat, and how packed it was. Once we got off the boat, it was a hot 45min wait for a shuttle bus that would take us back to the subway area. When we got back to the subway area, we started walking around and we saw this other ferry service. We were becoming skeptical of the cruise we just came from, so we went up a very kind NYPD officer and asked him about it. We pulled up the receipt we got(this is the first time we saw the price) and we paid a whopping $270usd!! The officer said we shouldn't be paying that price for the experience we had, and he paid for us to get on the trip with the other ferry service that would get us to both islands(we didn't get to Ellis Island but it was late in the day so ☺️). It was a much better experience: waiting was less, boat ride was more enjoyable, and we were actually able to see the Statue of Liberty up close this time. The name of this service is Statue Cruises, and if we chose this one first we only would've paid $125usd!! If you want to save money and have a better experience, avoid this dishonest money-hungery company and go through Statue Cruises. Unlike this service, their port is in the same area as the South Ferry subway station. Especially avoid this company if you or someone your traveling with have sensory issues or a condition that come with sensory issues such as autism. Statue Cruises provides a much more accommodating sensory experience.

When approaching to buy tickets, at no time does the seller say that it is necessary to take a bus to the pier to board the tour. Then I felt cheated. When arriving to take the queue, the attendants say that the buses last between 10 and 15 minutes and that maybe it might be a little late because of the traffic. ANOTHER lie. We spent over an hour waiting for the bus to take the tour. Detail: when we got tired, we went to ask for the money back and they say it's non-refundable. All this needs to be said when buying. They hide the way the tour is done. I hated it. I felt completely channeled. If you can, go on the OFFICIAL tour.
