Well worth it! Affords beautiful gorgeous views of the city. Really great way to see the New York City skyline and see the Statue of Liberty. After a disappointing hop-on hop-off bus tour offered by Go NY Tours, this made up for all the disappointment! Spencer, the tour guide was absolutely the best tour guide!!! Loves the city, is knowledgable, entertaining and engaging! Highly recommended!!

Beautiful view of the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty. It was a little too long for me, but well worth doing to get all kinds of information and history! We had great time circling around and see the landmarks of the city. The tour guide is great and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.

My mom and I took the boat ride around NYC. It was a great way to see Lady Liberty up close. We also got to see the Freedom Tower from a different angle. This was a great experience since on a limited time frame you get to see and learn so much in a nice environment.
