Great tour and guide

Our tour guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and you could tell by her comments that she loved New York. She was very considerate of the people on the tour, cautioning us to watch our step around construction and crosswalk. She had a wealth of knowledge and stories about Ellis Island and Ground Zero.

Bucket list trip to NYC

A wonderful way to see some of the major sights in NYC. Our guide Nina was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate the ferries and attractions making the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.

Great guide with...

Great guide with excellant narative and descriptions of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and ground zero memorial. It did involve a little more fast paced walking than we thought, but worth it.

#Not the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and 9/11 to take

I would not recommended this Tour/Excursion to anybody else as it is not exactly what one would expect. The tour is advertised as a guided tour. True to the words, you have a guide that basically show you where to board the Harbor Ferry, where to walk around the grounds, etc but lacks the “knowledge of a well informed and experienced Tour Guide” whom would be describing in detail the sights and points of interest. Our Guide-Martin was ill-informed, lacked the professionalism and friendliness of a Tour Guide. Not worth the money that we paid. Sad! 😟

Our Ellis Island Statue of Liberty n 911 Memorial Pools Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed the complete tour. The tour guide was enjoyable and very knowledgeable. One suggestion would be if they supplied audio headphones so they can talk and walk at same time.
