Our Ellis Island Statue of Liberty n 911 Memorial Pools Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed the complete tour. The tour guide was enjoyable and very knowledgeable.
One suggestion would be if they supplied audio headphones so they can talk and walk at same time.

Not everyone in the group... - Not everyone in the group will continue on after Ellis Island. Ellis Island is the end of the tour for some.

A great tour but the half day really should be a full day! - We enjoyed the commentry from our guide, Nina, in particular but felt there was insufficient time overall to explore both the Statue of Liberty and the Museum & the Ellis Island museum. We felt that the half day tour was really not long enough to do justice to those iconic places.

Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island/9/11 Tour - An excellent way to see several iconic NYC sites accompanied by a NYC guide who helps navigate the crowds and shares many very interesting details. Our guide, Gail, definitely tailored the experience to our small group. She was very intentional about making sure we had the time we needed at each stop, finding us an authentic local lunch stop, and giving us some great tips about other local-favorites for food and shopping. There’s time to spend about an hour or a little more at the Statue as well as Ellis Island. Definitely enough time for a good introductory visit. Plenty of great photo opportunities in NY Harbor as well. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to do a good bit of walking. Loved the is experience and our guide!

Great Overview of each Location - Excellent! Winston was great, very informative and personable. The tour gave us just enough time at each location to get a good feel for it but not too much time that takes away from the whole day. It doesn’t include going inside the Statue of liberty nor the 9/11 Museum. We preferred to do that on our own and go at our own pace. Would definitely recommend it!

Language during the visit - We paid for the tour in Spanish and it was 90% in English and the guide did not facilitate it until we ended up getting angry, she would speak for 10 min in English and summarize the same thing in 1 min in Spanish
It was not the best experience in terms of excursions
