Jan 27, 2026Great trip, postcard Tim was excellent sharing his knowledge of New York and its many landmarks, excellent value for money and a fabulous way to view New York!
Dec 24, 2025The Circle Line NYC Cruise was great and we where staying in Mid-Manhattan , so the added bonus was only a 20 minute walk from the Hotel to Hudson's Yard area , rather than 1.5 hours down to the finance district ferry option.

With good weather strongly recommended
It is just the right length cruise to see New York from the river. It would be good if they upgraded the sound, as on the top deck you cannot hear any information that is shared on the way.
super
Gaspard ·nous avons passé un super moment en plus le beau temps était avec nous je recommande vraiment cette activité
Fab cruise past the must sees!
Rachel L ·great commentary and interesting facts from Tony as we made out way around lower manhatten and Ellis Island. heaps of time was given and both sides of the boat were able to get good views of the statue of liberty before we moved onto the bridges:) well worth doing!
Bootstour
Jaz N ·Es war eine tolle Fahrt und es wurde einiges erzählt, aber auch nicht zu viel. Und mit Humor, sehr schöner Ausflug. Nehmt Euch Sonnencreme mit auch jetzt im Oktober.
Great way to see iconic skyline
Leanne ·Great trip and I’m not usually good on boats. There is option to pay for an audio guide but we had a great Irish guy telling us about the sites and history, he was great with all ages and knowledgeable. It’ as sun trap though so when sun is out get the cream out and cover shoulders I got a bit burnt but it was unseasonably hot for October
Love this
Indira ·Really enjoyed this place. Breathtaking view, the elevator is so fast.
