We had an absolutely wonderful day visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Our guide, Sara, was so passionate in sharing the history of both locations and seemed thrilled to tell us about the Statue of Liberty on her birthday :) She gave us the best tips for where to stand on the ferry to get the best photos and she even laid down on the ground to get amazing shots of us with the Statue! When we got to Ellis Island, she really brought to life how an immigrant would have walked through the building - which was really powerful. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour!

It's a great adventure to Liberty Island. Joe and Amy P. are great tour guides. I love their service which made me relaxed and comfortable. Amy told me the fact that the Statue of Liberty's right foot is in mid-stride. I've never noticed it. It's cool!
