Great tour , Great Guide JF - The tour was great, we had a warm welcome at the meeting point with our guide. He thoroughly explained the goals of the day and how we would obtain the best of the tour.
While we were waiting for the ferry (that was taking so long to arrive) He started to tell some very interesting historical facts about the construction of the Statue.
Our Guide JF is a real story teller . He delivers with passion and accuracy.

Great walking tour of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island - John was a great tour guide who helped with providing a lot of great guidance and history for both the State of Liberty and Ellis Island. It was a great opportunity to hear more, have assistance with navigating the ferry system, and provide great photo ops. Highly recommended.

A great way to check of the NY list! - We had fun! Even though its was cold. Marla was a fantastic tour guide. Her story telling and comedic timing really made the history surrounding the statue and islands fun and the cold more bearable. I would definitely recommend.

Liberty and Ellis Island - This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip
We met some friendly fellow travellers.
Liberty and Ellis Island you were both amazing.
Unfortunately we never got the chance to say goodbye to a lovely Brazilian family we met.
We must've got on a different ferry home.
If you're reading this it was lovely to meet you all.
Good luck to your smart boy about to study medicine.

Beautiful day - Interesting, iconic places in New York, so to visit. View of the city from the sea, so very charming. Engaging and informed guide. If it's good weather it's a tour to do.

No to Vendor: Yes to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island - Go straight into Battery Park where they have an official Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island stand. It’s cheaper and official;, again, inside the park to the vendor not outside park. With this booking, unfortunately we had major car troubles on our way that involved calling the police. We explained this to Viator and they told us to reach out to the vendor. The vendor told us we would need to rebook within one week for another time in the year. We were fine with that. Then we got a call from the vendor telling us there would be a penalty charge to rebook. Terrible! We decided to go on our own. As mentioned above, we went straight to Battery Park and did the tour ourselves, which was wonderful and at the fraction of the cost compared to this vendor.
