Absolutely loved how hassle free this tour was. We booked the morning of the tour, and were on a time crunch as we were leaving NYC on the same day. Seeing NYC from the Hudson is a must do, and this tour encapsulates all the must-see spots perfectly, without taking up too much of your time! The guide was also amazing ❤️ Perfect for groups or solo travellers!

Of all the times I've been to New York, I've never done this tour until now. This was an absolute gem of a tour. It was rainy and cool but made for less people and much more comfortable experience. I have never seen the Statue of Liberty in person until this moment. I love the interaction with the Staff. The photographer Kevin was really friendly and very cool to chat with. I learned a lot of history as well from the narrator, Ryan, as we made our way around the East River. I hope to do this again on a different visit with better weather conditions, but I'm very pleased with this tour.

You can get a close view of the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River and the East River at dusk, and see Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. Note that it will be dark in the summer, and only the last section of the journey will have lights on in downtown and midtown. Even in the summer, it will be very windy and cold on the river. It is recommended to board the boat more than an hour early to reserve a seat, so that passengers on both sides can take pictures of the Statue of Liberty.

The experience was really good and convenient. The boat takes you to all the major attractions and is value for money. You can also buy food from inside the boat if needed.

Visiting New York landmarks via the Circle Line cruise is the way to go if you’re short of time. A good option too for seniors. I added on a ride up the Top of the Rock observation deck for a 360 degrees panaromic view of NYC & I’m done seeing all of NY landmarks in one day! so nice!

The full Manhattan cruise is highly recommended as it takes you around the entire island of Manhattan in less than 3 hours. Importantly, one gets enough time to click pictures of the Statue of Liberty from up close.

Such a lovely experience. It was a nice boat, with not too many people so you didn't feel like you were on top of each other. Only thing, if you're sat in the back of the boat, you can't really hear the explanations over the speaker.
