This was a great tour but would recommend for older kids. Mine are 5 and 7 and were not attentive enough to appreciate our wonderful tour guide.

Our guide Maddie was excellent. She shared a lot of history that we didn’t know. We would definitely recommend her!!!

My father and I went on this tour. He is older and has some mobility constraints. Our tour guide Maddy was extremely patient and did not rush at any point, even when he needed to rest or took some time to get from point A to B. The information she provided was thorough and interesting and it was helpful to have someone who to not only answer historical questions but help with logistics.

Great tour. Joel, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island . He also had an engaging personality.

Our tour with Joel was so much fun and had so much information packed into four hours. Just the right amount of time. We loved the stories Joel included in the narrative - not just the facts, but a more meaningful dive into the history of this place.
