Can not rate the boat ride highly enough! We were considering the helicopter- but this was far more exciting and tremendous value for money! Our guide was great company and very informative. All of the party were buzzing when they landed back on terra firma : it was the highlight of our trip!

This tour is brilliant. A great way to see New York from the water. The boat captain knew all the best photo opportunities and gave great details about what we weee seeing. Cannot recommended highly enough. The company were also advertising shorter tours from the pier

Was really a great moment. We can just recommend this company, really professional, a warm welcome, a great pilot that took time to stop the boat and explained us lot of details of what we were seeing and what we should not missed …. No negative point !

Overall, it was fast and fun, and the guide made us feel comfortable and safe. He was also full of fun anecdotes about New York City (and we live here!). Worth the cost.

If you want an experience you won’t forget in New York you must do this. MAGIC!
