The tour was beautiful and fun and very educational. Flying Bobby was a fabulous tour guide and exceeded my expectations. There were good spots inside to hide from the cold and beautiful views outside if you were willing to bundle up. Had a great time!!

Flying Bobby was the best guide! 10/10 would recommend! Best view of the city & skyline, even in the freezing cold (especially with a hot spiked bev in hand!)

Excellent view of the city by night, narrator on board a bit too annoying with unnecessary nonstop talking

Great way of seeing manhatton and the statue of liberty. Views were amazing all lit up. Nice and relaxing cruise with humorous commentary from the guide.

It was a spectacular & narrated evening. The beautiful lights @ night on the water makes you appreciate New York City even more.

Even though it was raining it was a great cruise. The guide was informative and unbelievable views. Plenty of places to sit and could move around to take incredible pictures. A must do to see the skyline at night!
