It was a great time, my son loved the views and a lot of opportunities for great pictures. The inside was nice and warm once we finished taking pictures. Great view of the Brooklyn bridge as well.

Our first trip to NYC. Our tour guide Debbie did a fabulous job! She was knowledgeable and you could tell she loves her job. We did the 50 min tour to the Statue of Liberty and we would recommend this trip.

I would highly recommend sitting outside. It was colder, but worth it. The views were incredible. And you will get great pictures of the Statue of Liberty no matter which side of the boat you choose.
