ガイドさんは、熱心に色々な事を説明してくれました。自由の女神像を見学する自由時間を後30分取って、お土産を買う時間を作って欲しかったです。

Outstanding. Jett was amazing tourguide.
GO TO THE MEETING POINT. Once you arrive every worker will try and escort you straight to the marina for the ferry. This is not the meeting point. It’s literally at the 1 Bowling Green address. Don’t do what we did.

My kids been wanting to go to statue of Liberty for a long time and so this was really fun. The tour guide Charlie shared the history of the statue of Liberty and Ellis Island history was really cool. He shared very meaning stories from his experiences. He was really cool and fun/funny tour guide.<br /><br />Statue of Liberty is a people's statue! This is what we learnt from Charlie today. <br /><br />I highly recommend Charlie as a tour guide. <br /><br />PS: Cappuccino was just perfect!
