Go go go Joseph!! Liberty and Ellis island super tour - From the outset Joseph our guide was excellent. Great interactions with all parts of our multinational group. Engaging and able to bring the story of Liberty and Ellis islands to life!! Real great knowledge and able to take us back into the past to understand the context of what was happening when all this that we take for granted was built. Would go with him again in a heartbeat. He even got engagement from our teenage son!!

Joseph, and the statue! - If you don’t get Joseph, you’re missing out on what is the best tour of Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Funny and deeply knowledgeable, Joseph makes the tour a pleasure and even gives time to explore around the islands.

We will recommend the tour and our guide Liam - My daughter and I did the tour last Wednesday with Liam. While not a new Yorker but a half English and Irish man, he did a great job and he was well informed. We really enjoyed his stories through the tour. I would be happy to recommend the tour as well as Liam as a guide. If you book via Go City, make sure you book the ticket for the ferry too. We did not read the email from Liam properly the night before but we were lucky to get tickets same morning.

Enjoyable tour - We very much enjoyed this tour with Liam whom not only gave us plentiful interesting info but also added his English touch to it. He's been very helpful especially that we faced an issue with our passes. I would only recommend him and this tour.

Very good experience - We did the tour with Kyle, we had a very good experience. He had very clear English, easy to understand. In addition to telling us the story of the statue of liberty and the island of immigrants, he gave us very interesting and detailed data, he also took pictures of us. The only thing to note is that this tour does not come with the ferry to the island, so you have to buy it separately.
