Glorious and Well Worth the Cost - We truly enjoyed 90 -minute tour from Pier 78 the Brooklyn Bridge to the New York Harbor and a close view of the Statue of Liberty, them up to the Brooklyn Bridge and back to the dock. We sailed on a fine, modest sized ship with accommodations, good places to sit, and plenty of space inside and out for viewing the sights. As a frequent visitor to New York (and former resident) I have seen these sights many times over the years. But never aboard a ship. And I can say without hesitation that there is something particularly glorious and inspiring about viewing it all from the rivers. Plus, kudos to Rachel who did a thorough job of describing in detail everything we passed by on our journey. She has a lovely voice and knows her stuff. She has a true kinship with sailing and life on the water--the real deal. Given all this, $30 per person seemed well worth it.

Perfect tour for viewing the statue and NY skyline - Great crew on board, great price for service! We took our two children, so it was enough time to keep their interest. Lots of time to see the statue for each side of the boat, ample time to take pictures from different angles and enjoy the scenery.

Visiting the STATUE OF LIBERTY LADY - Great view, service was great as well. Attentive, gifts to buy on cruise. One of the men who works on board grabbed a chair for my friend to sit down

Good gourmet - Tour is worth the money. To the Statue of Liberty and back in about an hour. You can get close enough to take beautiful pictures. Catering on board is also provided, but costs extra on top. 2x Corona 23$.

Nothing fancy - Boat was old, staff not very friendly but we saw the Statue of Liberty. Just know what you’re getting into, nothing fancy.

Pathetic Service - Viator - Very pathetic service from Viator. I booked this trip for Statue of Liberty seeing trip scheduled on 1 Sep at 7:30 PM while my visit to New York as tourist. but it never happened as it was cancelled by operator. Tried to communicate to both aviator & operator for my refund but no refund as yet. So I have paid for service along with international calls for refund request which I never received. I would never use or suggest to book anything from Viator.

Statue of Liberty - The operator refused to cancel the trip although the weather was horrible and there was no way to stand outside to see the Statue of Liberty.
