A splendid way to see the NY waterline. We had the benefit of a very knowledgeable guide who made the trip very entertaining.

Took 60 minutes fairy to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. the departure is not on the same dock on the Buttery Park, but they take you by bus to another place - 10 minutes drive to start the fairy. This was 3PM fairy and the boat was overcrowded. Max. capacity of 300 were at the boat. no seats and... More

Yes, it was cold but a great way to see New York and the Statue of Liberty since the statue is closed for renovations.

Boat seats very uncomfortable and cramped, bit dirty too. Compare sounded a bit bored too. Good view of city though probably would have been better if weather had been on our side. Wouldn't have been worth the full stated price of $28, but good value when part of City Sights 3 day pass.

The tour uses a recording of an actress celebrity talking about the harbor, but there is no tourguide to ask questions of. Although the information is good, and the recording includes the voices of two experts on NYC and its harbor, there... More
