The experience I shared with my son was amazing. We had such a wonderful time while making great memories in the NYC overall. Visiting the Statue of Liberty was everything and more.

A bit too long winded on a cold, windy, rainy day!! The guide was excellent with her information but kept us standing in the horrible weather conditions for far too long! Pure misery! Knowledgeable & excited about the history for sure but maybe think about the comfort of the visitors & change it up for bad weather conditions.

Awesome tour! Highly recommend if you want the chance to see Ellis and Liberty Island in same day as a combo tour. If you’re interested in going inside Statute of Liberty (which I wasn’t) this probably isn’t the tour, but if you are interested in a more totality experience of both islands this is the tour to take!

This was an amazing day. Even though it rained a little, Charlie made it a wonderful experience. Charlie’s knowledge and background as a history teacher made the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island come to life. We highly recommend this and Charlie!<br />Thanks.
