5.00We loved our guided tour with Gail. Getting to go to the islands with the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and go into the National Park museums was a great experience. We were a little rushed and very crowded but that's to be expected on a Saturday. However, Gail was very efficient and made sure we had time for all three experiences and she was very informative and interesting. I highly recommend this tour if these items are on your list of "must see" because being up close and personal was exactly what we wanted and this tour delivered in spades!!

5.00As a solo traveler I appreciate guided tours because I learn much more than curating my own experience. Our guide Gina gave 110% to us and was very knowledgeable. Prepare for weather conditions for this tour, and know that you’ll go through airport-style security before boarding the ferry. Only bottled water is allowed and you’ll have to toss your coffee if you don’t finish it!
