Harbour Lights Night Cruise

Daisy

Lovely seeing Manhattan in darkness and the surrounding area. We were lucky it was a calm Oct evening but we were still cold so wrap up! Nice commentary from Dave which helped to highlight the scenery. The Statue of Liberty was amazing to see close at night. A nice add on to our break.

Die schlimmste Tour aller Zeiten !

Ein genervter Passagier

Es hätte eine wirklich schöne Tour werden können. Die Vorausetzungen waren gut. Traumhaftes Wetter, beste Sicht, gut gelaunt. Haben uns den Guide per App geladen und waren voller Vorfreude . Doch dann kam „Dave“ oder wie auch immer dieser Typ hieß. Er hat 2 Stunden am Stück gelabert. Ununterbrochen und ohne Pause quatschte er einen Müll zusammen das mir die Ohren bluteten. Vor seiner extrem quakigen und penetranten Stimme zu flüchten-unmöglich. Der ganze Kahn wurde beschallt. Und das in einer Laustärke, dass ich meinen Tourguide abstellen musste. Er hat es wirklich geschafft unsere Stimmung zu zerstören. Ich war am Ende so genervt, das ich diesen Honk gern persönlich abgestellt hätte. Leute, wer eine entspannte Lichterfahrt erwartet, sollte diese Tour zwingend meiden.

Impeccable

Super

Schöne Fahrt bei Dämmerung

Thomas

Die Fahrt hat uns gefallen. Der Guide war gut, wenn auch nicht ganz so gut zu verstehen wie der bei der letzten Fahrt. Aus unserer Sicht: empfehlenswert!
