See NYC Fast! Express Sightseeing Bus Tour + Statue of Liberty Boat Cruise Combo for 5
We took the Iconic bus from Midtown to the Statue of Liberty then boarded a boat before coming back. The experience was very good. However, we had to wait 25mins for the bus to pick us up at the first stop while we saw other company’s buses leave every 5mins but for what we paid and the services we received, I don’t mind the wait and would do it again.
