Nicola was such a wonderful tour guide! We had such a great experience. I learned so much about The Statue of Liberty that I had no clue about. I hope others are lucky enough to get him as a guide. Thank you Nicola!

Nicola was excellent and was able to share very in-depth historical facts about the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. He also had a great way of navigating the ferry experience that allowed us to take the best pictures and be the first ones on and off the ferry. Thank you, Nicola.
