    This a phenomenal tour and I'm so glad we had a guide named Joseph, from Inside out Tours. He made everything come to life when he shared the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. People that had no tour guide started to record Joseph. That's how good he was. He made a very memorable day. We will definitely recommend your company and Joseph as the guide.
