Tour highly recommended - Really good tour, excellent guide who made the tour. Security screening boarding boat a bit of a pain but that's how it is.

Must Do/See - Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island - The history and stories of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are inspiring, emotional, and reflective of the energy and resilience of our immigrant ancestors. These stories were wonderfully brought to light and amplified by our guide Timothy. This was the highlight of our 5 day trip to NYC.
