A good amount of visits in one day v educational - I’d never been to these places despite this being my 6th time in N. Y. city. My fave was Ellis Island - I could’ve spent all day there. Our guide was v knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour.

Liberty tour - highly recommend - Experience was great. Our guide was from the area and very knowledgeable. Wish we were able to do ground zero first then Ellis island and liberty islands it was a long day. Highly recommend eating before you go and bringing snacks. The food on both islands was not great. But the trip itself was well organized and the guide was easy to spot and did explain a great deal.

Nina, our guide, was very... - Nina, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of everything we saw. I thought the amount of time spent at each location was adequate except for Ellis Island. It was a bit rushed. I’m guessing there may have been some kind of time adjustment needed to ensure that we had enough time to see everything that was included on the tour. It also helped that we had perfect weather. I would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see a lot of famous sights in 5 hours. You must be able to walk quite a bit, and I suggest bringing snacks and beverages because there isn’t anytime to stop and eat. If you have Nina as your guide you will not be disappointed.

Great tour - History and sights - The tour was great. Our guide, Leann, was very knowledgable and very passionate about the history of New York, Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and 911 Memorial. She did a great job leading us through the sites. Highly recommend taking the tour to really learn about the history and significance of these national treasures.

Not just sitting on a bus :) - There is a good amount of walking in this tour! Be prepared as you walk in each location and from the ferry port to 9/11 (about 25 mins).

Not a tour - This was a very expensive way to be told what time to get back to the ferry to head to each site. Otherwise, there was nothing else this offered that was beneficial. The weather was unexpectedly bad and snowed so the ferries were running late which was no fault of the group; however, there should have been some sort of thought on how to make this enjoyable or offered a steep discount for the amount of waiting just to begin and shortened visits at each place. There was no historical information provided about the statue or Ellis island so if you’re looking to learn anything new, you won’t. We’ve taken many tours through Viator and this is the worst one so far.
