It was like basic in the best way, the views were beautiful, the fun facts they shared was cool to know, especially because this was the first thing on our list, cause when we went to the actual places they mentioned, it was cool to remember the facts from the ride.

The 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.
