Molly was our tour guide.... - Molly was our tour guide. She was great. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to her and she was very knowledgeable. Would recommend doing a tour with her. Only downside was there was not a lot of seats. There's a vip area which we didn't know about that has plenty of seating. It was minus degrees when we did our trip so couldn't stay outside for too long but we did manage to get seats on the bottom deck. You cannot bring your own snacks and drinks with you but they have plenty of selection however it was pricy! There's also the option to have your photo take for $15 which is a nice keepsake.

NYC tour - Very nice tour. Informative and fun. They explain all the area along the river and you get a great view of area attractions.

Wasn’t aware of VIP favortism . - When you book this excursion be aware of the so called VIP . Since , we the non ViP thought to be treated all the same . We were made to stay at the very back of the boat only entrance to the area where we could go inside to buy snacks . We were crammed outside when we were taking pictures . They were maybe 8 VIP people who had the liberty to walk about the front of the boat . I wouldn’t recommend this excursion . They was Favoritism to the $20 per person VIP,

2/10 Would not Recommend - It was great seeing the city but the haggling was NOT so great! This team pressured folks to obtain “VIP” access by paying an outrageous added amount to what you had already paid to have a viewing spot on the boat. I have never felt so disappointed and disgusted while on an excursion in my life! We were told we could not take pictures on the side of the boat as it was reserved for “VIP” but the people on the side were not VIP! I will never use this service again! The haggling and trying to scam folks into purchasing VIP tickets was too much for me!

Statue of Liberty and skyline cruise - Not accommodating even an emergencies hit after the 24 hrs. We came into the city with delays due to snow. They were willing to change our date and time but with a $15.00 per person change fee. Then our kids came down with norovirus and we weren't able to change the day so we're out money. Mother nature is out of our control and should be more accommodating. Wouldn't book with the company you have on this APP
