Just took the tour with Marla and it was fantastic. She was very organized, informative, and very funny. She kept the group on track, but never felt rushed. I would recommend her as a guide to anyone.

We had such a great day learning about the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Jake, our guide, was super knowledgeable and shared everything in a really engaging way.
Only point to note is you do not go inside the statue as part of the tour.
