This is very easy to book and pay for and easy to see what you are getting. On arrival it wasn’t immediately obvious which queue to go in, with standard boarding to right of the tickets, with a small line inbetween this and the ticket booth for premium, which I bought.
What you get for the difference is access to the top deck, more space to walk around and a small bar. I’m not sure it’s entirely worth it, however it does allow for great views on a less busy deck and open to the elements. There are three decks with the bottom one being enclosed with air con and a large bar.
This tour took us from Hudson docks round past the Freedom Tower, then a great close up of the Statue of Liberty, round and under the world famous Brooklyn Bridge and then returned.
The tour took an hour and a half and I had amazing weather and saw Manhattan and New Jersey from different angles.
I’d recommend if you fancy something different, likely much nicer than an open bus tour being stuck in traffic!
Great narration as we went around with a good selection of facts and jokes.
Recommended, however up to you if you pay the extra for premium, will depend on your budget.
