Celebrate St Paddy's Day in New York City (Updated 2026)

Nice views and commentary about the city of NY and the history, cultural anecdotes, etc … Beautiful relaxing views of many sites from Hudson Yards, to the Battery, Lady Liberty and various bridges, landmarks, South Street Seaport including New Jersey, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, etcDo this - it’s gorgeous to see the lights come up and take in the splendor of the skylines and awe-inspiring magnificence of Manhattan and the area, alongside the backdrop of the sunset. 🍎 ❤️

Friendly staff , great communication, amazing experience, highly recommended, all the main sights covered with this trip

Tour guide was great! Went on 9/13 in the early afternoon and he was very knowledgeable and funny. Boat wasn’t too busy and had good AC. Multiple Bathrooms which is also nice. Cruise went under all the popular bridges and stoped by the Statue of Liberty. The boat stopped and lingers by popular areas for good photos. Entire cruise had great views! Would recommend

Had a very good time!! Went on 9/13 in the early afternoon and the boat wasn’t super busy. Tour guide was great!! He was funny and was very knowledgeable about the city. Cruise had good frozen margaritas, AC, and bathrooms. Would definitely recommend!!

Jimmy the Guide was excellent, very witty, informative & engaged with all the group. The only minus was the sheep who graze in the graveyard weren’t yet back from pastures outside the city!

We had a good time. Very clean enough space for everyoneThe only recommendation is more personell to gently redirect clients on keeping a behavior for a spa. In the relaxation rooms and hydro treatments others screaming and talking loudly. The pools were loud too. Having people lead you in some exercises of deep breathing or relaxation would be good. Food items were good. The drinks priced ok. But would give something extra for those who buy the all day pass. I would go again but maybe during a weekday to avoid those less well behaved crowds.

Around Sunset, late evening is the best time to visit. The view of the skyline with the sun going down absolutely beautiful

Jimmy was a great tour guide! It’s been about 7 years since I’ve toured old St Patrick’s. Jimmy was a wealth of knowledge of the Cathedral, catacombs, and the history of the neighborhood. He was incredibly friendly and takes great interest in passing along important historical facts that have shaped the nation. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know more about history of NY.

It was an excellent experience. Very sobering. It was nice having the audio. It talks about an hour and a half to go thru.

A very informative and enjoyable tour. Matthew, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the Gilded Age history. A beautiful day for a walking tour learning about NYC history.

Really informative museum, emotional seeing all the artefacts from from 9/11

The boat and crew were all very nice …the narrator was very informed and interesting. Boat was very clean and well organized

A wonderful and informative walking tour. Zach was a very energetic and knowledgeable guide - one of the best we have had on Cool New York City.

Wonderful area to play with family

This experience would not be for everyone. The walk through the passageways at the beginning was moderately interesting, but the ride at the end was fantastic. If you like Soarin' over California at Disneyland or EPCOT, you will love this.

Great !!! Very nice and employee are awesome
