The Liberty Island is a must, I will definitely go again but will skip the Ellis Island tour next time. As a woman of color I can’t track my lineage there, just good for a one time if you’re into History.

Jett was very entertaining, polite, explained the history and facts about the Statue of Liberty and helped us along the way. He was also very punctual and on time before the tour, and made the experience as enjoyable and easy for us and every other tour guest
