Charlie was great! Highly recommend. He was fun, told many stories and was easy to get along with. I can’t wait to catch me back!

Charlie was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the various subjects couldn't have been better. He held our attention at every stop with history, engaging stories and well- placed jokes. I've had dozens of tour guides and Charlie ranks right at the top!

Very good guide. Leaves brief time for the free look at statue. Maybe make the brief a bit shorter. The guide was very nice
Viator customer · John · Oct 02, 2025 Excellent
Great experience. Very good guide with great personality and knowledge of the Lady Liberty. Everyone should take this guided tour at least once.

Charlie was great best tour guide I have had in the city and I’ve lived here for a few years now. He deserves a raise of any amount of his choosing
