Great boat tour. Unfortunately, the prices for drinks or the like are very expensive. And It will stop at the Statue of Liberty for a maximum of one minute. It would be nice if we had a little more time for pictures. The tour is also only 1:30 hour. Not As Written 2-2:30.

We paid extra to avoid waiting in line. On arrival (almost an hour in advance) it was not clearly indicated where we had to be, so we were still quite late on the boat. Paid extra for nothing. As soon as we left we absolutely got our money's worth! Beautiful views and a nice explanation of everything we saw.

The guide speaks only in English, which is a shame because he gave a lot of information that we would have liked to understand. The boat ride around the Statue of Liberty and going under the various bridges was enjoyable. Good activity.
