Super nice way to see the city and all the huge landmarks, like Empire State, Statue of Liberty, South Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridge. Bryant was our captain and he did a spledid job taking us around and telling us fun facts about the different landmarks. We were able to make some beautiful pictures as well, which makes it even a more fun memory.
