5.00Friendly guide, Dan. Easy to book and convenient meeting place. Good communication and instructions so no issues with logistics whatsoever. Just the right amount of guided tour. The rest of the time was for us to peruse. Statue of Liberty is a quick tour/walk around and visit of the museum (takes 15mins but worth it). Plan more time for Ellis island. Wished we had more time but it was closer to the end of the day and we were tired. We would book again to go to Ellis island (not guided) on our own.
Great Tour
