5.00We loved this experience. Robin was a great guide and full of helpful information. My best recommendation would be to go first thing in the morning. The afternoon rush gets crazy. Loved this!

5.00Charlie was great. He did good job showing us the Statue of Liberty without making it a lecture. Everything was smooth and easy.
Amazing tour, highly recommend.

5.00My daughter and I had a wonderful time with Charlie as our guide. This being our first time in NYC we appreciated how he went above and beyond and sent us suggestions on places to shop, see, eat etc. His knowledge was exceptional and charisma was delightful. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky to get Charlie you’ll be glad you did!

5.00Kate was an awesome guide and made our experience great. We went to both the Statue of Liberty and Ellis. Since it was only me and my family she gave us some flexibility to stay and focus on areas we wanted to see and learn more about. Very knowledgeable, gave really good context, and we felt like we learned a ton in a short period of time!
Personable and knowledgeable

5.00Charlie was an incredible tour guide. He kept us engaged and laughing, and taught us so much about the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. This was a meaningful trip for me as I knew my great-grandparents came through Ellis Island and Charlie knew just how to make it special. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him and Babylon Tours again.
Great Tour! Highly Recommend
