The crew was excellent. The music was really good and perfectly appropriate for the boat ride. Our tour guide Darius was the best. He really knew his history and was very friendly, very funny, and helpful, and best of all, he was an excellent singer and he sang "New York, New York" perfectly at the end of the tour on the way back to the pier!

    Seeing NYC fron its surrounding rivers is exciting. Unfortunately, we could not make a complete trip around Manhattan that day.
