50 Minute NYC Statue of Liberty Scenic Cruise

Mike_L, Jul 2026

Perfect cruise with a perfect host

Duration was perfect - about an hour. We were looking for a simple boat tour to get good photos of the manhattan skyline, and get close enough to the Statue of Liberty for some photos as well. The host, Michael, was fantastic. He was charismatic and knowledgeable. There aren’t many people in the world who are as good at their job as he is at his. He made the experience so much more enjoyable. I only wish I did this tour at the START of my stay in NYC, so we could take advantage of all his great suggestions of places to go and things to see. Thanks Michael! You are a star!

Amazing introduction to early immigrant communities in NYC

If you love, history and architecture, this is the tour for you!! went with my husband and our 32-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter-in-law.Wonderful overview of early immigrant life in New York City. Great maps to get your bearings. Lots of history from the past as well as importance of certain current buildings and location. Great tips on eateries that locals love! The history of architectural development is fascinating. Rob is a huge wealth of knowledge and clearly passionate about his tours. One of the best tours we have taken anywhere in the world. Looking forward to doing a different tour with him the next time we visit New York City!

Manhattan Adventure Sightseeing Boat Tour - from Chelsea Piers

Julie_N, Apr 2026

Thrilling Ride with Gorgeous Unobstructed Views!

The trip was a blast from start to finish. Went with my 13 year old son who chose the bumpier seats in the front. It was a thrill without causing any seasickness. Would recommend that spot for completely unobstructed views although all the seats are good. Our guide shared interesting things about each stop with plenty of time to get photos. Being so close to the Statue of Liberty was worth it in itself. Highly recommend!

See It All New York City Walking and Boat Guided Tour

tiffany_g, Dec 2025

Wonderful guide / wonderful city

It was a wonderful experience, we loved every place he took us too. The only only downside to the experience was it was cold and if you have issues waking don’t do it. We walked for 6 plus hours. But we knew this ahead of time and was more than ready and dressed for the experience. ROGER The guide deserves 10 stars he was amazing. He knew us each individually by first name. Always offered to take photos of us. ROGER was such a cheerful person who wasn’t just there bc he had to be. We had a blast because of him. He was funny. He was very knowledgeable and gave us information and history to each stop. If and when we go back ROGER is the one we are going with. He made our experience very personal. Even with a group of people. We weren’t rushed either. ROGER made sure we got back to our hotel/ final destination, shared his phone number to make sure. We all would highly recommend Roger!!

New York Fall Foliage Cruise up the Hudson River

Marisa_B, Oct 2025

Intimate, Surreal, and Absolutely Perfect!

Truly loved every bit of this little adventure. Our Captain Tim was super knowledgeable and very accommodating. We were originally going to go with a larger fairy ride for the Fall feel, but the intimacy and nostalgia of the vintage yacht was well worth the switch! Highly recommend.
