“The tour was great. The Website is hard to navigate The Website does not show parking on site is available and a google search says to use nearby parking garages. I'm 80 and didn't need to walk that far. The system needs to be modified so that the QRCode is sent by e-mail. There is no reason to install an app for a onetime event when In Indiana and rarely ever come to NYC - last time was 15 years ago. Further the app would not install on my Verizon Samsung phone. It wanted my account identifer and password but there is no way to initiate an account without the…”

13.Manhattan Architecture Yacht Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,395 reviews · 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $113Traveller favourite

Architecture from the water on a 1920s yacht, led by an AIA guide. Circle Manhattan in 2h45 with included drinks and top photo views.

“Very nice boat and friendly crew, even the captain. VERY comfortable bench seats with cushions. The free drink was great, but limited as to what you can order (mixed drinks are 1/2 off if you chose that instead of the freebie, but then full price after the first one). Additional drinks and also the limited food selections were expensive. Bring your own food! The architect that narrated the tour was good, very knowledgeable and interesting. Wish he had said more about certain buildings other than the architect and builder of them. He had a great delivery, even though he spoke a bit fast, and kept our interest throughout the tour.…”
