We had a wonderful time. The weather was perfect. The teens with us were invited into the wheelhouse to drive the boat and it was a terrific experience! The staff was friendly and our guide was very knowledgeable and interactive with guests.
Pleasant employees! Clean ship on each level! A very calm experience and atmosphere, tour info was great and Peter was enthusiastic!
What a fantastic experience! Seeing the Hudson River from the water provided a whole new perspective on its beauty and its vital role in both the New York State and national economies. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous throughout the tour, offering stunning views at every turn. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical, environmental, and economic insights that made the experience even more engaging. To top it all off, the drinks were delicious and added a relaxing touch to the journey. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the Hudson River in a unique and memorable way.
I don't usually go in for these types of things, but this was seamless, a good value with no added fees, and it was well-organized and punctual. I considered it a risk at the time of booking, since many attractions like this seem to be rip-offs, but I was really pleased with it.
It was a beautiful Father's day cruise today. The staff were very friendly and the cruise narrator was very informative . Both my husband and I as well as our parents really enjoyed it. It was a perfect day!!
We had the best time and were treated so well. The people who ran the cruise were wonderful and could not do enough for us. Would go on a cruise with them again.
Very pleasant cruise, with interesting commentary and information. We lived in the area for most of our lives but learned many new things about this section of the river and surrounding cities. The guide is very knowledgeable and presented everything in an easy to listen to manner along with amusing stories. We saw bald eagles in there own environment; and learned about fishing, commerce, and how the river and ports helped the Albany area develop.
Bring binoculars to possibly see bald eagles. The narrator was very knowledgeable and easy to understand
this trip was really good. We had a good time. The weather was excellent. The service was exceptional
Our narrator was Nancy, and she provided wonderful narration during the trip downriver, telling us about the area’s history and pointing out bald eagles and one nest. During the trip back upriver, we listened to classic rock music. This was a lovely river cruise.
