Seeing Liberty again like it was the first time Damien was an excellent tour guide for this taxi. We were able to get on it just minutes before takeoff. This was my second time seeing Liberty, but it's been over 20 years and it was like the first time all over again. Easy to do on a 1 hr lunch break.

Amazing express tour! Perfect, knowledgeable, Highly Recommend!!! We took the 10am tour with Damien after the first two tours we had with a other company were canceled without notice. It was on time, short and sweet and we were off and back to catch a train I have the city on time. Damien was amazing, lots of fun & incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city, with a ton of great recommendations for other things to do and places to eat around the city! It was out last stop out of the city after a bunch of things not going as planned, and Damien & the Water Taxi Express Cruise really made the trip!! Thank you:)

Damien was an amazing, entertaining tour guide, lots of fun and incredibly knowledgeable on the history not just of the main attractions (Statue of Liberty, etc) but on all of NYC. Not to mention having great recommendations on where to eat and other must-do activities before leaving the City. For us it was our last stop before going home, and it made the trip. Thank you!!

Business Response:

Hi Murphy, Thank you so much for your great review- we are so happy you enjoyed our Liberty Super Express cruise to the Statue of Liberty! It is the fastest way to get a selfie with Lady Liberty! Damien is a blast and full of so much information on our beautiful city. He loves hearing back from his guests and I will make sure he sees this wonderful comment. We thank you for sailing with us and hope to have you return for another sail with us real soon! Best, Robert Strazza, Director, Guest Experience, rstrazza@nycl.com

Picture is misleading. It is a water taxi. Actually the ticket was a water taxi not the cruise ship. The picture was misleading. Everyone was nice and even changed our ticket to the next ship since was came a few minutes late.

Godo way to see sights Very good way to see Liberty Island & Ellis Island without getting off the boat. Very quick service & cheap, plus it has a bar

Muito bom Escolhemos o Water Táxi para ir para o brookling e depois voltar e passar próximo da Estadia da Liberdade. A experiência é muito legal. O Barco para perto da estátua para fotos. É o barco não balança nada.

Best boat trip! We had a great trip on the New York water taxi, the guys who sold tickets outside the Staten Island ferry port were super helpful getting us on board. On the water taxi the tour was amazing, our guide Lee was fantastic with his insight...More

Excellent adventure Really good fun afternoon, our guide was such fun, could talk at 100 miles an hour, absolutely brilliant he was, excellent facts and a mine of information on hand. Takes in all the major sights around NYC, from the water is another, interesting perspective. 10/10
