Thank you for making it easy to get across town and back for the tour. We had a good tour director and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. He knew his history, facts and details. Seeing the Statue of Liberty from that perspective was awesome.

My husband and I took our three granddaughters to NYC for a visit. Taking your island cruise was one of the activities we chose. Although we werent sure how the girls (ages 12, 9 and 7) reactions, we were pleasantly surprised at their interest and what a good time they had. It was all due to our tour guide, Michael Everett, who did an amazing job. He was interesting, knowledgeable, insightful and gave historical information in such a way that all five of us had a wonderful time. The best compliment we can pay to Mr. Everett is that when we returned home to Maryland, all three granddaughters related facts and stories to their parents which they learned on the cruise. Keep Mr. Everett as a tour guide forever!!

Our tour guide was outstanding. He made NYC so interesting that it made the trip seem way too short. He brought to life the events surrounding NYC from its beginning up to present day. The tour was well worth the price we paid. Yes, we would take the tour again!

An excellent tour. Easy booking, clean and punctual vessel. The staff were friendly and informative especially the crewman who gave the narrative throughout the whole journey. His knowledge of New York was second to none and my whole party benefitted from the snippets of information. would recommend the tour to everyone

I bought this tour for my boyfriend for his birthday as we were going to New York for a trip and it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour! I would recommend it for both people on their first trip to New York and also people who have been there before. Our tour guide was brilliant and got to know everyone on board. He even recommended places for us to go to see some Irish landmarks etc! Defiantly deserves 5 stars! Would do it again the next time in New York City!

The boat trip around Manhattan Island was terrific! As a native New Yorker returning to visit after many years, it was a great time, plus it was a beautiful day! We really enjoyed the cruise and the tour guide was very informative!
