OK, Circle Line is super touristy, but when it's 95 degrees and you have guests in town, Circle Line is perfect. It took up 90 minutes of a sweltering hot afternoon, and just what we all needed. The tour guide has a soothing and calm voice, pointing out all the highlights and landmarks. The boat takes off on time, circles around the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty, up and under that Manhattan Bridge, and even a little further. It was cool and lovely. I can even recommend sandwiches, drinks, and potato chips. Maybe next time we'll do the even longer trip up to WestPoint.
