Good , got ripped off when going to the staten island ferry. Was interrupted by operator saying staten free ferry was off due to weather. This cost us 125 dollars initially for another ferry trip around the statue of liberty. I complained to a member of this company and was refunded 125 dollars, but cost 77 dollars for trip. There was a number of people caught out with this scam. People should be made aware of these scammers quite forcefully preying on unsuspecting people.

Excellent time spent on the bus, the first 2/3rds of the trip round are amazing, the last third a little boring but very interesting and helpful for learning about New York and getting your bearings of where everything is
