I bought two tickets for the Circle Line Water Taxi tour called "Statue of Liberty Express". I was dissapointed because the tour is just a repetition of all the tours offered by circle line. They all do the same route, so not matter what tour you take you are going to see the same thing. I thought this tour was... More

My two sisters and I took the Zephyr around lower Manhattan on a sunny Sunday afternoon. All we expected was a nice peaceful one-hour cruise with some good views of Manhattan. We got much more, mostly because of the wonderful tour guide. He clearly had to have been a trained actor, and as he pointed out the sights to us,... More

We took the Zephyr Cruise from Pier 16. It lasted approximately 1 hour and goes by the Statue of Liberty as well as under the Brooklyn Bridge and around Manhattan. It is a great way to get a view of the Statue of Liberty without going through the long security lines required to actually visit the base of the statue.... More

After visiting 2 museums, we thought we'd treat our 2 teens to something fun and fast, i.e., the Circle Line Shark tour. It's about 35 minutes long and takes you around either side of the lower tip of Manhattan. They play loud music (current stuff- but decent, pumped up & fun) which you can still hear even over the roar... More

A great way to see downtown New York. The guides are very knowledgeable (make sure you sit at the back of the bus as they are loud), and friendly, and the bus gives a great view of the locations. Make sure you take a hat or sunscreen as its all open. Best done via a New York Pass (makes it... More

My wife and I traveled to NYC for a long weekend with our kids (12 and 13). I reserved 4 seats on the Zepher (Circle Line "luxury" yacht) to see the Statue of Liberty, etc. When we showed up at the designated time, they informed us that the cruise was not running. No advance notice! When I asked them why,... More

Took the Circle Line trip around lower Manhattan this weekend in the heat. We are local NYC dwellers so it was not a 'must see' for us, but we went with a 'GROUPON'. Circle Line did the best job they could handling the crowds, but in the heat, all the queuing up and waiting in long, long, lines, being herding... More

Took this fabulous 60-min tour and got awesome pics of Lady Liberty and the Manhattan skyline from the comfort of the air-conditioned lounge of the Zephyr. I was originally torn between a sailboat-style cruise (Shearwater by Manhattan by Sail) and the Zephyr, which is more a traditional ferry-style cruise. Due to the heat wave in June we opted for the... More

My husband and I had done this cruise a couple if years ago and really enjoyed it. Over Labor Day weekend we were in NYC for a wedding and knew our friends from Upstate NY would really get a kick out of this. There is so much to see, the guide was just terrific, and it is just so much... More
