Easy to book. A lot of people, but that's to be expected...the checks are quick and the shuttle service is well organised to connect the 2 islands. The 2 museums (Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island) are very well done. I particularly recommend the audio guide for the visit to Ellis Island. It's a must-see that we don't regret.

Our guide Joseph K. was remarakable. He had an encyclopedic memory for historical facts relative to the Statue of Liberty' creation/history and Ellis Island facts. My first viit to the statue, heartwarming. I thought the tour included being up in the pedestal of the statue but just saw from sidewalk. The weather was downpouring rain but Headout can't control the weather! Would have been nice ot have been reminded that we could access digital files to search for ancestors...I missed that...too preoccupied with making sure I didn't miss ferry back.

Ticketing experience was easy to follow. No problems at all with that, once we got to the meeting place we were greeted and checked in, very easy process. Our tour guide, David was absolutely the best gave us so much interesting information couldn't have asked for a better experience. The only negative comment would be the long lines for the security check. Thank you!
