I took my 6yr and 14 yr old sons to NYC for the first time. Right after we arrived, our first thing to do was to take the Circle LIne Liberty Cruise. We expected a boat ride to see the Statue, but the cruise was so much more.
Since it was snowing and cold we only went outside a few times, but the views inside were amazing (from all sides). The best part was the guide. He told us a bit of history and fun of every landmark and building along the NY and NJ side of the river. He made us laugh and also think about all the changes of such a grand city that went through many difficult times.
Oh..and the snack bar and staff on board were amazing. We didn't do reserved anything and had a fabulous time! And the staff would come by and offer to take pictures of your family for you (not cost).
I would HIGHLY recomend a tour on Circle Line to anyone...of any age and of any ability. Next time we come, we will take a longer tour.
Thanks for the amazing memories Circle Lines!!!
