Visiting Liberty Island and Ellis Island isn't just a standard sightseeing checklist item; it is a profoundly moving journey through the history, hope, and visual grandeur of New York Harbor. If you are planning a trip to NYC, this dual-island experience easily earns a full five stars, but navigating it successfully requires a bit of strategy. It's a great overall trip and our Tour Guide Marla did a great job at storytelling.
