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.

Christian was an incredible guide! Super knowledgeable but also kept a 12 year old engaged and excited to be there. Funny as heck! A dude you’d totally want to be friends with! Great group from all around the globe and he kept it all cohesive. Good amount of time at each stop and worth the money to not be aimlessly wandering around! Good sized group- well organized, easy all around to book and arrive and experience! Greeter/check in girl was awesome too but I didn’t catch her name! Right where she was supposed to be, knowledgeable and super helpful too!
