History Came Alive... - Our guide (from Top Dog Tours) was excellent! She had tons of interesting facts about all aspects of the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and she was fully engaged in making sure my group had a great time. She interwove personal stories of her family's immigration history with her discussion of the monuments and it made it all so much more meaningful. Despite the cold (and wind) we would definitely go again!

5 starsss- private tour statue of Liberty/ Ellis island - Absolutely amazing - my guide was so knowledgeable and was definitely skilled in all the historical knowledge of not only the monuments we were seeing but also beyond. I was beyond impressed at the amount of knowledge she had and the ability to present it clearly and efficiently. People around us were listening to us all day- bc it was clear she had a grasp on everything around us - more than any other guide around. Always love finding such a great guide - highly recommend - learned so much.

Statue of Liberty Up Close - The weather was very wet and cold the day we went but it was still one of our most favorite tours because of John our tour guide. He gave so many interesting data points that we didn't worry about the weather. Also, seeing the statue up close was a one of a kind moment.

Awesome private tour - We booked a private tour with Patrick. He was amazing. Knowledgeable about all that is New York and all of the history. We learned so much that we never knew. The day was absolutely freezing but would do it again if Patrick were to be our guide. 100% recommend..

First class experience - This is a first class experience If you want to have a great understanding of the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, this is the way to go. Some people will say it’s expensive but what isn’t expensive in New York? Our guide Nicole was experienced, very accommodating, and made the time together memorable.
