Eric was a great host who was a wealth of information on the trip...we had booked for the day before but due to the rain Eric offered to reschedule us on a sunnier day! We felt safe and it was very enjoyable ride...plenty of opportunities to take photos snd it was just so interesting...we would highly recommend this when in NY worth every penny! Thank you so much

You need to do this, superb fun. - This is a must do for your New York trip, our only regret was only doing the half hour. The guide (German dude) was superb, kind, safety conscious and really knowledgeable. Amazing views, the best thing we did on our trip, honestly.

Best 30-minute experience tour in NYC! - Woo, this is the best 30-minute experience tour in NYC. Bryan and his Adventure Sightseeing Tours boat made me feel like a Navy Seal on horseback getting a quick history lesson on the sites on the Hudson! It was truly great and fun. Prone to seasickness, maybe you should sit this one out, but for the rest of us with an adventurous spirit you will love it.

See the sights on the water - I went with my 13 yr old. We loved it. So fun and they will stop to take group photos at each point. Highly recommend to see the sights from the river. Spectacular views, our favorite was seeing the One World Trade Center.

If You Hate Queues This Is For You! - We were lucky enough to have this magical experience on our own!! Fast and furious and Eric was amazing, if you don’t want to queue for hours to see the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, up close and personal to the Brooklyn Bridge and a concise education of the sights then this is the way to go! Our 7 year old Granddaughter loved it also and she has never been on a fast speedboat! A real thrill while offering a plethora of information! Perfect! Do it!!
