    We got a hip-hop NYC Cruise Ferry Tour from 'City Sight Seeing New York' it was very good Experience to see the City from Ferry.. Cruise was extremely good.. I think what we got was not a regular ferry they use.. The one we got was 'John James Audubon' -- It was very luxurious.. Thanks a lot for this.. We loved this and next time also we will visit this again..

    The boat ride is fine but these people allow scammers to resell tickets with lies about the price and they won't do anything about it when I complained, it seems like they are fine with any lie their sellers say as long as it profitable. The scammer name was (87) Raji.

    Mike was our guide. Our group wanted to see the Statue of Liberty. The cruise in the harbor and Michael's narrative gave us so much more. We learned about the different Burroughs, the bridges, some of the buildings, the best budget friendly food, Ellis Island, and so much more. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. We met individuals from all over the world in one afternoon. It was well worth it to us, first-time New York City visitors.

    The ferry is disgusting and needs a good cleaning. If you just want an inexpensive tour of major sites and don't mind how unclean it is, then its a good option. Company is Hornblower cruises and events.

    The lines are extremely long and getting on and off the ferry takes about 30-60 minutes each time. The ferry can also get very, very busy. But it is worth it and the price can't be beat. No need to buy drinks on the ferry as it's really expensive. Otherwise, I nice way to spend the afternoon just seeing the liberty statue from afar.

    Take the boat to go along the coast and fantastic views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty to Staten Island. Only $4.

    The NYC Ferry takes me to Staten Island for a $4:00 ride. It is relaxing and a completely different experience plus faster!

    The pushy sales people are pushy and lie about the pricing and parking offering only 5 hours which are consumed by the waiting times to board and return to the parking area at the end of your trip. The on board tour guide was delightful and informative cost me $187.00 for 6 people if you are getting charged more then that you are getting ripped off if less then you got a better deal then i did.

    The picture is misleading. Pier 78 houses NY Waterway terminals, not the newly built little island. Terminal is well maintained with water fountain and clean public restrooms with small food courts.

    Pier is nice but beware of the hot dog stand in front. Hoy dogs are $13! Do not buy there. Go inside the NY Waterway building they have hot dogs there much cheaper.

    Seems a small place for a tourist hop on hop off but surprisingly doesn’t get too crowded as schedules are followed and ships depart on time.
