1.00The tour was great at first when we went to Liberty Island. When we arrived at Ellis Island the tour guide told us to meet up at a certain time. We got there early but with no signs of her. We had waited over 45 minutes with no signs of her showing up. We had thought she left us but that would not be likely because there was 4 other people waiting for her too. Our tour included 911 Memorial Museum, so we’re on our own back for the rest of tour.
Deceived but had a hospitable guide

2.00You can buy your tickets with greater access from the ferry company. Multiple parties in our group bought the 911 museum experience and none of us got our tickets except 1 party who got them for a previous day so could not enter. We called and were hung up on multiple times so did not get the tickets. I have used Viator in many countries and have never had a bad experience like it. When were at Ellis Island our tour guide said she was being watched so she could not continue the tour. She was incredible but I think tour guides are not allowed. The good part of it all was that our tour guide was friendly and very hospitable and shared info about NY readily.

1.00We booked a combination excursion that included Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial and Museum. We never received the tickets to the museum and after three phone calls to the local operator and Viator, they were unable to email us our tickets so on top of the $300+ cost of the excursion we had to spend an addition $72 to purchase museum tickets we never received. I have still not heard back from Viator for a resolution.
Worth the money
