We did the 60-minute Statue of Liberty sightseeing tour and it was a great option if you’re short on time but still want those iconic NYC views. The boat ride itself was smooth and relaxing, and once you’re out on the water, the skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and Lady Liberty all look incredible. The highlight was definitely cruising close enough to the Statue of Liberty to get clear photos without the hassle of disembarking or long security lines. The narration was informative but not overwhelming—just enough history and fun facts to keep things interesting while you enjoy the scenery. The boat wasn’t overcrowded, and there was plenty of space on deck to move around and take pictures. It’s a solid choice for families, first-time visitors, or anyone who wants a stress-free sightseeing experience without committing half the day. If you’re planning ahead, I noticed tickets and sightseeing options are easy to find through saverseats.store, which made comparing times and availability pretty convenient. Overall, a simple, well-organized, and scenic tour. Perfect if you want classic NYC sights in under an hour without rushing. Would definitely recommend it as a quick win while exploring the city.

I booked online, but when I went to take the boat, the crew did not let me enter the boat. They said that they do not work with this company anymore and offered to buy another ticket through them. Contacted Viator, explained the situation. Still no refund.
Laila_A
The boat never showed up no warning or heads up that the boat wasn’t coming. It was a scam and I was so excited to see the statue but it’s just a waste of time
