Took the family to enjoy a "Touristy" thing. Did the Circle line years ago, looked into Cirlce Line and NY Waterways -- and decided to "try these guys". The 90 minute tour was great. Boat was half Full -- all the Top Level seats went first. Beautiful sky. Once the Boat got underway they opened the front to passengers -- forget about the Top Level. As the trip went on passengers moved about and we all had seats of our choosing. Tour Guide was very personable and knowledgeable about the topics he spoke. We all thought the 90 minutes was "Just Right" - and I am glad I did not do the Circle Line 2 hour tour. Bathrooms were disgusting - but thats to be expected I guess. I used the bus they provide to get back into mid-town (saved some cab fare). On board concession stand was limited to beer, soda , water from a plastic cooler. Maybe they had packaged snacks - I didn't notice.
Pros: Duration, Buses, Tour Guide, Cost
Cons: Disgusting Bathrooms

You really have to get on one of these tours and have the boat take you all around NYC. There is nothing like it. They offer a variety of tours, and depending on your pocket book or your taste in water travel, there is a tour for you.
I like the slow cruise myself, which gives you a full panorama view of the island and a feel for the size and the culture. Do bring something to drink, but there are snacks and liquids available.
Pick a warmer day, cause it can get chilly out there in the early spring.
This is another "must dos" for anyone visiting NYC. A lovely look at the City from an unusual perspective.

Lived in this city my whole life when for my birthday my husband surprised me with a helicopter tour. I refused but we went for a walk along the Hudson and stopped in and chatted with the loveliest person who explained the helicopter to me me in detail and I had no choice but to go. If I only knew then what I know now and all the years of shoping in nieghbourhoods I never thought twice about. Next month we're taking all our grand kids. I dont want them to wait until their old like me to see this place the way I just did.
Thank you ZIp
Pros: Great Staff (funny)
Cons: Place is a little small

We got married on 13 Sept 2008 and hired Royal Way for 2 stretch limos. I was a little skeptical, having dealt with a number of services that didn't meet expectations. Well, Royal Way exceeded them. The equipment was new, luxurious, spotless, and well-equipped with water and sodas on ice (and champagne). The drivers were well dressed, exceptionally courteous, and they paid special attention to our elderly mothers. They showed up early and kept me informed of their locations 20 minutes before arrival. We arrived at the final location a little early, so one driver offered to give the little kids a ride around for a few minutes. I even had a last minute request (to send one limo to a different location), phoned in about an hour before the scheduled arrival, and they met it. I don't usually make recommendations, but Royal Way deserves it.

I am a native NYer and took the uptown tour recently, I really enjoyed the view - having never been on a double decker tour before. The tourguide, Joel, was great! He seemed really interested in everything he was explaining. the tour flew by, i couldn't believe it was 3 hours long!
Pros: Tourguide and view
Cons: bus seemed a little grimy.

I recently went on a tour with the conservancy and I must say it was great. The guide really knew her history. I grew up on the LES and learned things about the LES that I never knew before. I highly recommend this tour.
Pros: interesting

This past Tuesday August 4, at 3pm, my colleague and I stepped on
board for the "See it All" Manhattan tour. We were more than
pleasantly surprised to say the least. First off, to start the
afternoon our tour guide Tyler was not only incredibly knowledgeable
of Manhattan, but outgoing, hilarious, and always smiling. He
introduced himself, and began the tour taking us to every place as
promised, from the website.
During each stop, we were given plenty of time for excellent photo
opportunities of the best quirky spots to snap a picture in Manhattan,
as well as constant information and facts pertaining to the history of
re-enactment of a personal story from history of each place. Tyler,
our guide, kept track of us and made sure that everyone was included
with his friendly manner and professionalism. As the tour group is
small, everyone has a chance to participate, ask questions, hear the
tour guide, and step around freely without the annoyance of a large
group of people also around trying to get to see the same places at
the same time.
Now, though I am originally from Russia, I have spent several years
now splitting time in Brooklyn and L.A, and have been on several
different tours-here in Manhattan- I must say that OnBoard Tours NYC
is by far the best experience I have had. And bringing my friend onto
this one to show him around NYC was the absolute best choice I could
have made.
Not only did I learn more about Manhattan than I ever knew before, but
I had such an enjoyable time learning it from our fantastic tour guide
Tyler, and I would definitely recommend it any day of the week to
anyone visiting New York. Whether you have one day, or you are a new
resident to New York- I truly recommend OnBoard Tours!
Sincerely,
Anya Jordanova. Actress, Mode
Pros: tour guide, info on city, picture opps
Cons: 3pm traffic
