Quick boat trip - We got tickets via Topview went pier 40 and took the cruise, had commentary of what we were seeing, got chatting to one of the crew and got on well. I would highly recommend this to everyone, just for the views.

What I purchased was not... - What I purchased was not what we received. I purchased 90 minute sightseeing for Statue of Liberty. It was only 60 minutes. Also, my information stated 4:20 pm but was actually 4:30. We are from out of state. We got there around 3:30 because unfamiliar with location or check in process.

Overcharged - The boat servers texted me and told me the 7:30pm experience was not sailing, and I would need to arrive for the 4:30 sail. In other words, I was charged $99 for late cruise, but forced to take day cruise, which is cheaper I want my offset refund please and thanks!

Super late departure, no organization.. - Planned departure was 10:50, they asked via email to be there 15mins before, but there was no boat or staff, until 11:40, then had to wait for another 30mins to depart. We felt like 2nd class people..

A real scam - We pay this experience to go on Ellis Island, make a stop at the immigration Island and the tour was supposed to take 90 minutes. What a surprised we and other peoples have when the staff tell us that we will only go in front of the Statue of Liberty and come back ??? A real scam

There was no boat. Do NOT pay for this. - Don’t pay for this. There was no boat for us we arrived early but were told if we had gotten there earlier we could have made it as the boat had just left. Why did they not text us and tell us to come earlier?Our time was 4:30 and we got there at 4:15 and the boat was just leaving and we couldn’t get on.

Boat no show! - The site was selling tickets but the boat line was not running, no prior information indicating we would not be able to board. So we lost the cost of the tickets plus transportation to and from hotel. I will repost if Viator is willing to reimburse me the $ 200 plus dollars I’m out, and of course the BS I had to put up with from the wife ugh!!!!

Poor service by Viator - My scheduled boat cruise owner cancelled my scheduled tour and Viator did not notify me of this problem/change or cancellation. We showed up to a leaving boat from another company. I messaged Viator yesterday (after this occurred) and as of a day later still no response from them. In this automatic and advanced communication age, I would expect notification from a company and am very disappointed and unsatisfied with aviators complete lack of communication on this issue. The only reason we found out of the cruise liner was because of staff from ANOTHER boat operator when we arrived for our scheduled tour at pier 36. Not happy
