Great
The tour guide was good. Only thing is when collecting ticket the place to meet is confusing. A big sign board will be good

The tour itself was great, and Joseph was an excellent tour guide. The only trouble we had was with the TripAdvisor directions for meeting with the group. The assumption was that everyone would arrive by transit, and we arrived by car with no parking instructions. In addition, there was construction at the assembly site so the landmarks were not apparent.

Συνολικά μια πολύ καλή εμπειρία. Σαφείς πληροφορίες για το σημείο συνάντησης κι εύκολη επικοινωνία. Ο ξεναγός μας ήταν πολύ ευγενικός, κατατοπιστικός, πρόσχαρος. Μας έδωσε πολλές ενδιαφέρουσες πληροφορίες, χωρίς να γίνεται κουραστικός. Ήταν μια πολύ ωραια ξενάγηση που σίγουρα απολαύσαμε και θα συστηναμε.

Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice. We really enjoyed the experience. Our only complaint was that it was cold outside but no one has control over the weather.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide. He was very funny and witty. Never thought I would be in a U.S. history lesson when I signed up for this tour of the statue of liberty and Ellis island. But we thoroughly enjoyed it.
