Sara was an excellent guide… her knowledge of the history of both the statue and the immigration process at Ellis Island made for a most informative tour. She had amazing energy, a major factor in keeping our spirits high, and our interest peaked throughout the cold rainy day.

Charlie is the best. Wear good walking shoes. Bring snacks if you don't want to buy expensive ones while you're in the tour.
