This cruise is well worth doing. This 2 hour one is plenty of time to see everything and take some great photographs. It was lovely and warm inside while it was a cold blustery December day outside.

Review by: Jennifer S	December 2011
Evening tour which was dissapointing as it was dark for most of it and difficult to see the highlights

Next time I do one of these type cruises it will be on a much smaller ship/boat.

Review by: Christopher B	August 2011
great cruise except people all flocked to the sides at all the landmarks and didn't sit down. i don't like pushing people to take a photo

Make sure you get a seat out on the deck if its not raining otherwise you are stuck inside and then you might as well watch it on TV !

Great liittle trip get to see all the sites from a different perspective. Great if your on a limited timescale.

Review by: Marilyn C	August 2010
The overall the trip was okay but the tour guide talked about the apartments and the real estate more than anything else. I went on a trip like this in London and learned a lot about the city and waterway.

gOOD--tHE gUIDE WAS gREAT

Review by: Anonymous	August 2010
This was nice but there was a delay departing but we were told it would not affect our return time....Huuummmh they rushed trough part of it even though we paid for a 2 hour tour. With that said it didn't seam to affect the quality of our tour. Our tour g8uide was a little grumpy, he would get very angry when people stood up for photo's when it didn't seam to bother anyone else.

Very informative trip. a nice way to relax for a couple of hours. The tickets helped as we did not have to cue to pay as long as anyone else. Get there early as you may not be able to sit where you want on the boat.

Review by: John P, United Kingdom	April 2010
This was a very worthwhile trip. The guide on the boat was full of information about Manhattan.

Review by: Emma C, United Kingdom	February 2010
Incredible views, especially at sunset. Was very nice.

Review by: Anthony K, United Kingdom	January 2010
Brilliant trip. The tour guide was excellent, really interesting. We learned some things about New York that I would never have know if I had not gone on the trip so hats off. Would definately recommend.

Review by: Rosemary B, United Kingdom	January 2010
Great. Excellent guide - full of information. It was a marvelous way to get introduced to New York. We got lots of great pictures of the skyscrapers and the Financial Centre. We did get a bit fed up with the number of times the guide reminded us of 9/11.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	January 2010
Highly informative and a great experience! I highly recommend this cruise to learn the history of this city.

Review by: Christopher H, United Kingdom	November 2009
Good value. Brilliant commentry.

Review by: John M, United States of America	October 2009
We had perfect weather for this trip. The only bad thing was the exhaust from the boat as we were leaving the dock. It was overwhelming! We could not switch sides as the outer deck was full and we wanted to take pictures. Overall, the trip itself was better than we thought it would be.

Review by: Dennis R, United States of America	October 2009
Very good tour. Recommend to anyone wanting to tour lower Manhatten by boat. Excellent views of Statue of Liberty, bridges, and many buildings.

Review by: Ger K, Netherlands	June 2009
Great, although the book of the tour guide got advertised a bit too much!

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	December 2008
Great for an alternative view of Manhattan's skyscrapers, the bridges and the Statue of Liberty.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	September 2008
It was a beautiful day, and the cruise was great.

Review by: Julie H	July 2008
Even though we got rained on a couple of times, the 2 hour tour was wonderful. It was nice to get 'out' of the city for a couple of hours. The guide was fantastic in keeping us informed about what we were seeing and he even threw in a few jokes for good measure! I have told everyone I know to go on this cruise when they visit NYC.

Review by: Anonymous	June 2008
Nice.

Review by: Lucy F	May 2008
The tour guide had a great sense of humour and explained all the points of interest with interesting background knowledge and information. Very well done.

Review by: Dean F, United States of America	April 2008
The trip was very enjoyable in every respect. It was great to see NYC from this vantage point, to see the city in all its monumental splendor. Thank you!

Review by: Nancy F	April 2008
Enjoyed very much.

Review by: Derek O	February 2008
Very good trip, just long enough. Difficult to hear the commentary though.

Review by: Susan B	January 2008
We were only in New York for three days, so this was a great way to see the sights all in one trip. It was crowded and cold outside, so be prepared for not getting the photo opportunities you may want.

Review by: Stephen C	September 2007
A good two-hour trip with the guide giving useful information about New York. You see a lot of the sights and it's a chance to rest your legs after walking for miles in the city.

Review by: Kunal B	August 2007
The trip was nice due to the fact that since I had bought before going there, I did not have to wait in line longer. However, I still had to wait to board the cruise. Overall, the trip is definitely worth doing, especially if you have limited or no knowledge of New York City.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	June 2007
Pre-purchasing the tickets meant that our line to get the tickets was a lot shorter! The two hour tour was excellent.

Review by: Eugenio V	April 2007
My friend from Colombia wanted to visited N.Y, but we didn't have enough time to be there, so Semi-Circle New York Cruise was perfect and matched our one day trip from Boston. My friend could take a lot of pictures and memories. That was great!

Review by: Valerie B	March 2007
An excellent way to see the coast line of New York and the sites. The three hour trip is great for the first 1.5 hours but obviously the return journey is more of the same. Definitely worth doing but maybe catch the 2 hour trip.

Review by: Cheryl K, Australia	January 2007
Amazing views, great tour guide.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	January 2007

Review by: Barbara J, United States of America	December 2006
The cruise was awesome! We all enjoyed it, even the little ones! Well worth the time and money. Would recommend to everyone.
