Great cruise! You are presented with amazing views of the Manhattan coastline, finishing with the statue of liberty at the end then cruising around under the Brooklyn bridge. The tour guide had a great ability to tell stories and hold his audience captive, and I was a fan of all the numbers and statistics he was telling us. Both sides of the boat get a good view of the statue - the boat cruises past slowly on its starboard side, then turns around and lets everyone on the left to take snaps so no need to run around the boat! Definitely a great tour to look back on the city. I also didn't think it was required to get off at Liberty Island not on this tour - you get an amazing view of the statue on this tour!

You can't miss with this tour! What an iconic moment -- to see this incredible symbol of liberty illuminated at night from the water. Just perfect.

I contacted viator about our flight delay because of weather in NYC which was going to make us miss the cruise. They contacted the cruise company and I never received any information back about being able to reschedule or not.

The narration wasn't very interesting no serious information about the different landmarks we visited.

Arrived early, no clear signs as to where we'd to go for our particular cruise, Went to ask in the only kiosk and did not see the evening tour listed, nearest was the night cruise which is what we got. Was informed to go to the end of the pier and wait. No boat like the one advertised on the Viator page, it was a smaller yellow one like the water taxis. By the time we were finally allowed to board it was actually dark so the views were purely of New York lit up whichalthough was amazing to see but not what we were expecting and definitely not so great for photographs. The tour guide was informative but the boat itself was rather shabby, the windows especially were dirty so again not ideal for taking photographs, yes there was an small upstairs seating area but that was very crowded. All in all very disappointed as we expected from the description of the cruise to leave in daylight and return as the light turned to night and that way we would get the best of both. Thankfully we'd also booked the hop on hop off bus which included some bonus tickets one of which was a sightseeing ferry which ran hourly every day and we were able to do a much more enjoyable trip for free! and see everything with that.

Tour at night was great. Can sit inside or outside. Enough room for all. Beverages can be purchased along the way. Seeing the city and Statue of Liberty at night was amazing. The announcer was great, he explained everything and we learned a bit of history too.

Get there early and get a side seat, and bring your prescription glasses I forgot and even binoculars. It's so nice to see all the sights at night. Very cool. Take a trip like this early on, and a bus tour too, that way you get to know the layout of NYC and can use your time there wisely.

My family and I enjoyed the tour however, we could barely make out anything tour guide said. It could have been do to where we were seated on lower level, not sure. Tour did also leave about 20mins late but we all want to do again.

That was a GREAT value for the money. We took our six year old granddaughter who was excited and interested. Just a lovely little evening.

Contrary to what the ticket say, you MUST have a printed ticket, and you can't use an electronic one. The tour was beautiful, but there were a lot of missed opportunities by the guide to be telling us about landmarks and history along the way. It's not an expensive ride, so I'd still recommend it. You'll need to allow for a lot more walking to get to the boat than you expect - the directions make it seem like it's pretty close to the Metro - it's not. Lastly, it's very clear than no one who works there has any ability to move suggestions up to the management. When I suggested to three different positions that they take off the electronic ticket accepted from the electronic ticket, each of them said they had no control and couldn't do anything about it.

We loved the tour! It was a great ride, nothing fancy, but very practical. The narrator knew his information and interjected lots of humor. I certainly recommend it!
