An interesting part of American history - Intriguing. Ben, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He conscientiously took care of our special needs. He spoke clearly and with excellent volume to be heard comfortably.

Great tour, great guide! - The trip itself was very informative courtesy of its very knowledgeable guide, Ben. Took a lot of pix that will last a lifetime and beyond. Particularly enjoyed the Liberty portion of the tour. The guide was also very friendly. I just wish we were able to take a group photo as additional souvenir.

Really made all the difference - We could have just taken the ferry and visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on our own, but having Ben explain it all to us in such a detailed, amusing and interactive way really made all the difference. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Ben!

Excellent tour for famillies - Very good and experienced guide (Charles). We learned a lot about the construction and the inauguration of this worldwide known statue. And m'y teens have been interested by all the explanations, even on immigration facilities on the Ellis island. Tour to be recommended for famillies.

Interesting and Entertaining Tour, 10/10 - I enjoyed the tour with Ben so much! I went with my mum to New York from Germany for the first time so we obviously had to see the Statue of Liberty and we are both so happy that we booked this guided tour! Ben was able to tell us so many interesting things and guided us perfectly through the masses to the good picture spots. I was surprised what of a fascinating place Ellis Island is, too! The interactive way in which he presented the facts let the journey of all the immigrants who came there come to life vividly. We had so much fun and learned so much at the same time :))

Statue of Liberty - Ben was excellent!! We learned a lot. We NEVER got separated on or off the ferry. Our guide (Ben)was also knowledgeable and kept the conversation lively with pictures on his electronic tablet and by group participation. We had ample time to explore some of the sites on our own, and he helped with pictures. My only point of contention is with the tour company NOT making it clear that we couldn't go INSIDE the Statue. We were ALL sorry about that. Our guide though... was FANTASTIC!

Zero help - Llegamos tarde y ya se había ido el grupo (normal, porque iban en Ferry a la Estatua de la Libertad a las 9:00). No obstante, cogimos el Ferry a las 9:30 y aunque llamamos a la oficina para unirnos a mitad del tour nos dijeron que era imposible porque iban muy por delante. Muy pocas ganas de ayudar y eso que ya habían cobrado el tour. We arrived late and the group had already left (normal, because they were going by ferry to the Statue of Liberty at 9:00). However, we took the Ferry at 9:30 and although we called the office to join in the middle of the tour they told us that it was impossible because they were too far ahead. Very little desire to help and they had already charged for the tour.
