Great
It was a great informative tour but just not long enough for us. We’ll definitely go back on our own if we ever get back to NY. Tour guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and friendly.

It was a great tour! Kevin our guide was exceptional and shared many unknown facts about the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The only shortcoming was that the federal government was shut down and this limited the tour having as much access to the museum as we would have liked to have seen.

Great experience. Alvaro was knowledgeable and fun. It was great to learn about the origins of Wall Street and Manhattan as a bonus.
