John Mason

John Mason is an institution at Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises, leading tours for nearly fifty years. Born and raised in Brooklyn, John started his own trucking business after college. Though the business was a success, he found that he was more interested in hanging around the Circle Line pier and listening to the guides than making deliveries. In 1962, he gave up the trucking business and became a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise tour guide.

Over the years, John has had some of the biggest names in entertainment on his tours, including opera singer Beverly Sills and Tony Bennett!
