It was a great tour with our tour guide Charlie. He was able to tell us a lot about history with humor and enthusiasm and had valuable tips for our vacation in New York.

unfortunately due to snow we had to queue for an hour to get on the ferry. it was freezing. Maria the guide was really up against it but she did her best to keep our spirits up, frozen as they were!! she knew her stuff and made the tour enjoyable.

We had a great time with Mindy C as our tour guide. She made it fun for all including the kids. Would definitely recommend using her again.

If you're going on this trip, you need to ask for Charlie. He had us listening and laughing and learning, right from the start. <br />He was very informative, and easy to understand, and he loved it when we would ask him questions. We even took his advice on what to eat at the Ellis Island cafe. <br />Thanks for a great day Charlie!

Our tour guide did an amazing job of giving us the history of the statue and especially the individuals who played an important part in the creation of the statue. Only trouble we had was finding the connection spot to meet the tour group. Thankfully other tour guides were very helpful in getting us to the correct place at the very last minute!
