Nice tour to sightsee.

Great experience. On time and good location at Pier from Midtown NY. Only issue was guide mic kept going in and out which made it difficult to follow Deb's commentary. Would recommend.

A trip not to miss; a FANTASTIC tour guide

Dave was BRILLIANT! Sure you will see some gorgeous views of New York that you can’t get from land and the entire trip is a great couple of hours out but the real highlight was tour guide Dave. Full to the brim with interesting facts about a city he is clearly so passionate about Dave really does a perfect job of tour guide come comedian whilst giving off that warm and familiar feeling like you’ve known him for years. And what an interesting story he has too that he sprinkles in periodically along the narration and it all works so well! Thank you, Dave and circle line for uplifting My trip to New York from London!

Good tour

Organized tour. Accommodating in the rain. But the food is expensive so keep that in mind. Just concession style options.
