Not cheap … but worth doing! - Gabi was our guide … and she was brilliant. Very knowledgable and fun. We were lucky to have amazing weather … but Gabi made the tour what it was. Big thank you! We went at our own pace. Didn’t feel rushed and had lots of questions which Gabi was able to help with. She gave us a great history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and it felt like a morning out for a history walk Lots of walking … wear good shoes … … and big thanks for suggesting Liberty Bagels for lunch … great tip!

Fantastic tour - Percy was fantastic! The tour was geared toward our interests and taking into account a 10 yr old’s attention span. Private tours are the way to go!!

"It's not a line, it's a herd" - Talk about one of the most embarrassing experiences of our lives. Folks. There are huge lines when it comes to this attraction -- lines you cannot avoid. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and a great guide. However, she's been taught (all the guides are taught this) how to "cut the line." She's employed many techniques and even though we were concerned, she kept using the quote, "It's not a line, it's a herd." Basically, all the guides are taught how to brazenly drag their private tour around the sides and through open spaces to cut the line. Needless, one gentleman got irate at this behavior. At the Statue of Liberty, heading to Ellis Island, she ran into this gentleman again. He started screaming at her, calling her a "Weasel" and making a horrible scene. Our tour guide shoved this man, which turned into an altercation and someone had to intervene. The whole experience was ruined and the rest of the tour we were worried about running into this man again. What should have been an enjoyable tour turned into an embarrassing nightmare.
