2.Around Manhattan Official NYC Architecture Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 402 reviews · 2h 45m · from $113

Circle Manhattan on a classic yacht with an architect guide, passing 18 bridges, waterfront memorials, landmark towers, and the Statue of Liberty.

“Highlight of our trip! I’ve been to NYC many times but it was my husband’s first. We both loved the beautiful, cozy boat and weekend morning champagne. The guide was phenomenal went deep enough to keep our interest but not so far that we lost interest. Loved the small size of the boat and personal attention. This is definitely a tour for those interested in history and architecture. At one point the guide had to shush a rowdy table who thought they were on a booze cruise. So fascinating to go entirely around Manhattan. I counted at least 20 bridges. Highly recommend for those who appreciate learning with a splash…”
