Excellent

Marla was great! Tour was informative yet low key. Able to enjoy things on your own schedule somewhat yet still part of a group.

Joe was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and eagerly and thoroughly articulated the information. He was funny and serious as well as happy to answer questions. The only criticism of this tour wxx as a the description of the meeting point. Several people were lost trying to get to the meeting point. The description of the meeting point needs to be very descriptive such as meet at the plaza by the subway elevator in front of the museum. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous, informative guided tour to the statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with our guide Marla. Lots of fun, inside facts with just the right proportion of being guided versus free to wonder around in our own time.
