Our family of 4 took this boat tour on our trip to NYC. Our host, David, could not have been better. From the moment we boarded, he spoke to our children (19 and 16) and engaged them with stories of NYC as well as what interested them. Our son, who is in his third year of architecture school, and our daughter who wants to be a film producer were enthralled with everything he had to say. David even gave our kids personal tidbits "off mic" that were specific tips and interest points to them. What a great experience. And a week later, our kids are still talking about him and the cruise. Beyond the personal treatment, the tour gave you a taste of NYC landmarks and I especially appreciate the solemn and respectful tribute given when discussing the 9/11 museum, the Freedom Tower, and the landscape that changed that dreadful day. Take this cruise if you can. And cross your fingers you get David as our tour guide.
