We availed of the 2 day bus tour with night drive and Statue of Liberty cruise.
We've done lots of tours like that in many cities around the world.
You could get tickets for the tour pretty easily, the commentary was interesting and informative, the guide on the night light tour was brilliant!
Things we didn't like was, the buses were very aged, it was cold outside and buses were freezing. No blankets provided upstairs in the open roof either. We did similar tour in Vienna, Oslo, Reykjavik, London all in winter months with snow present and it was much more comfortable.
I found the life map wasn't working and it was hard to workout what time the buses stopped at each locations.
The Statue of Liberty cruise was bad. The map said that the boat should swim to the Brooklyn Bridge, but didnt do so, the commentary was non existent as speakers were broken and tour guide was indoors. There was no interaction with any staff, yet one guy was waiting at the end with a box collecting tips. I did found it odd, seing there was no service provided apart from swimming the boat. I'm the end, nobody seem to leave any tip behind which pussed the person off and he ended giving out to customers saying "what is wrong with you guys, f..king unbelievable )".
Was the whole tour worth the money?
I would not do it again.
