Recommend to go! - We had a one-hour trip cruising on the ocean and saw the statue pretty close and clear, together with the other beautiful sceneries along the trip, definitely worthwhile.

Ok - The staff on this tour was great, however, we didn’t realize there were no chairs on the boat and a very small outdoor viewing area. However, the staff was great in stopping by the statue and turning slowly, so everyone on the boat could get their view in their photos.

Good experience but could be better - Nice boat tour, up close view of Statue of Liberty. Thankfully our boat wasn't too occupied so there was ample seating and standing/photography space onboard. The audio wasn't too audible so we missed most of the tour descriptions. The boat was hard to locate since there were multiple boats in the pier and no name/label to indicate the reservation. Had to ask around, the boat came late but good time taking pictures. No food allowed onboard but available for purchase.

Sad day - Not being able to get in the boat with a wheelchair. Can’t seem to get a refund. Very poor customer experience and terrible communication

Great boat shame about the pier - The problem was the waiting. In direct sunlight with no one to greet us. The whole group (not just us) started to wonder if we had been scammed!

HORRIBLE COMPANY DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR. - This company is horrible. I booked this reservation with TripAdvisor/Viator. It was going to be my 1st time in New York and unfortunately, I could not make it due to a family emergency I had to cancel all my reservations and tours. I have called several time to the company, left messages and I also sent out emails regarding my situation to see if I could get a refund, and the company denied my refund. The company had no compassion in my situation. I WOULD NOT recommend this tour because if there is an emergency you will not get your money back. It is not worth booking this tour.

Dirty crowded cruise which I do not recommend anyone. - It was too crowded. The cruise was super old with dirty windows. I was not able to take a single picture.
Terrible.
