Liberty status, ellis Island, boats - I and my family took boats to get the islands of the liberty status and ellis Island 🏝. The trips are chill and earned knowledge of immigrates how to come to New York and showing thier life styles at that times.The ellis Island is open door for worldwide immigrates to have future. It is sad stories of how was immigrates was going through, but I m glad that they r finally made in NYC.

Must do in NYC - Very easy to get to the islands and see a lot. The Statue of Liberty is an hour. Ellis Island at least 2, but can be more. See the movie on the Statue of Liberty in the museum. Only 10 minutes. The Statue is about 10 minutes. Spend most of your time in the museum. Elllis Island is best started on the second floor, then the first then the third. Then go outside and see the monuments. Look for your ancestors names. Jim, our tour guide, was informative and funny. Really know how to work the room. Amazing in all aspects. My third time and will do it again.

Great trip and guide! - Great trip! Nickolai was a great guide, very organized and knowledgeable! He knew a lot about the history and told us a lot that we had never learned! The ferry ride was good, did not have to wait in lines. I think it helps to have a guide who knows the ropes! Our trip that week was a little rainy but thankfully that day it did not rain. I recommend this trip and guide!
