The walking tour was amazing! We got to see Liberty island and Ellis island with a fantastic tour guide (Rob C). The early access made all the difference because it wasn't as crowded as in the afternoon. Our tour guide, Rob, was very knowledgeable, informative, passionate, and funny. His quirky demeanor, insightful jokes, and interesting stories made the tour that much more enjoyable. Plus, his photo skills were top notch! Would definitely recommend to my friends and family when they visit NYC.
