The view was great. The kids enjoyed the view as you could see the river to the city. This was something new for us as we have never been.

The best views of the city skyline are from NJ....cross the river to Hoboken or Jersey City and enjoy the view!

Very beautiful skyline in NYC - we saw it from the river and the Brooklyn Bridge. Unlike anywhere else. Recommend the Empire State Building at night-the lights go on forever.

All four of us felt that this "ride" was outdated and was not worth the full fare. But it was ok since we used our New York Passes.

During our previous visits to Manhattan we have seen the NYC skyline from New Jersey, Brooklyn, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building, etc... But this time we experienced it from the Hudson River Park. This boardwalk is something not to be missed - either walking or riding a bike - you get to see so much more of Manhattan you... More

What else can you say-one of the most iconic skylines in the world. View it from the Hudson River. The water taxi is a great way to see the Manhattan skyline

We came under the Verazano Narrows Bridge at dawn aboard the QM2. Absolutely stunning with the sunrise on the city skyscrapers. Temp was about 25 degrees Celsius! Such beautiful light is probably unique to a few days each year and would change with the trajectory of the sun.

You can't miss it and say you we're in NY. From Brooklyn's Promenade or a ship is very good. I still miss the Twin Towers z"l.

This boat tour was so much fun and the weather was great. The tour guide was very informative and I highly recommend you take this tour during your first day or so of your trip to New York!
