AIA-NY Around Manhattan Bridge Infrastructure Tour

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.

This tour was magnificent in that it delivered exactly what it promised. For almost 3 hours, the architectural historian told stories and provided exquisite information on the bridges, buildings and landmarks that comprise the borourghs and surrounding waterways of New York City. He was dedicated, energetic and articulate and he loved what he was doing. This tour works best for those people who are interested in the topic and, although the boat and the crew were wonderful, the tour is all about the architecture and the bridges.

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!!!

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.

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.

Enjoyed the trip very much. We had wonderful weather, and the narration was interesting- even our 15 yr old was engaged. A big note- the website gives the impression that there's no food, and offers a cheese plate. In fact, a nice snack spread is included with the ticket (and the first drink!) So skip that, you can always order a la carte if you want more.

Could not havr been beyyer.

The glass of wine and healthful food were just right. The staff was gracious and helpful.

Amazing tour, beautiful boat, and a fabulous and knowledgable crew. I highly recommend this trip to others
