AIA-NY Around Manhattan Bridge Infrastructure Tour

I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon in New York City! . . . Sun, breeze, water, and knowledge - wrapped up in such a way that you don't even realise how much Professor John Kriskiewicz has taught you - until you're off the boat and tell your friends at Sunday brunch how you spent Saturday afternoon!

A perfect way to spend a sunny NYC afternoon, and an ideal way to obtain a useful perspective on the city's infrastructure. Our guide was both knowledgeable and personable. Fresh air, knowledge, and perspective: who could ask for more?

I am a civil engineer and was hoping for more technical information. My wife has been exposed to certain aspects of the field through our conversations and found some of the talk rudimentary. That said we both still thoroughly enjoyed the tour and sites and will include the Architecture Tour in our next trip. The host was friendly, knowledgeable, and open to questions.

Me and my husband had a wonderful time!

My husband is an Architect.....I surprised him with his tour as a date... He loved it... We had a great time and learned a lot about NYC !!!! Highly recommended....worth every penny!!!

Very pleasant trip around Manhattan with a knowledgeable and approachable guide. We lucked out with the weather - you really want to be on the deck for most of the tour. If it were raining, we'd probably be less pleased. Food was excellent and plentiful, too.

Very good tour, not only a trip around the island but great lecture about the history of the bridges and infrastructure s of new York

I bought tickets for myself and my partner as his birthday present. We had a fantastic time. The service was friendly and relaxed. The boat was clean and comfortable. We had the luck of great weather. But the best part, of course, was the running commentary from our guide. He gave us a chance to see NY from a wholly different perspective. "Infrastructure" covers so many things: traffic and transportation, sewage, housing . . . We learned a great deal of the history of the area through all the issues he touched upon. And speaking of a different way to see NY, it was also amazing to have the chance to fully circumnavigate Manhattan. We'd never seen much of the East River section of the cruise, and certainly not from this perspective. And the moment when you pass through the Spuyten Duyvil bridge and come back out onto the Hudson . . . breathtaking! We totally recommend this to anyone who is curious about NYC and would enjoy an afternoon on the water.

We where well taken care of and learned a grat deal about Manhattan and it's surrounding boroughs, from the sky scrapers on the south end to the lush green northern end. Loved every minute.

Very pleased, the crew members were all very professional and friendly and the guide knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The boat was a nice size, small(but not cramped) and cozy. The snacks where plentifully but the website was not clear so I pre-ordered a cheese plate but that was not necessary. Very nice way to send time in the City.
