Best use of time with nice weather in Lower Manhattan!!! This is such a fun way to see Manhattan from another perspective and get the lay of the land. The photo ops are unmatched - Statue of Liberty right there and the boat will linger for as many photos as you want. Honestly, it was such a blast that they should be charging at least 50% more for the experience!! I would do this again and again, weather permitting! Love, Love, Loved it!! Cannot recommend this enough!
The guide gives a nice tour, Joel was awesome. I can only speak for a non-windy day, but you don't get wet, don't be afraid to sit up front. Pictures are truly fantastic from all seats, so no need to worry if you are not seated at the very front of the boat. Be sure to tip at the end of the ride! The guide does not expect it, but it is such a great experience, be prepared to WANT to tip :)
