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.

The staff were impeccable. The tour amazing and surprisingly. Tha only things is that yesterday 10/23 4:30pm pier 36 was a changed and that made my plans going confused. I lost like 1:30 going to the pier and come back to the right place because nobody told me about the changed. No call, no email and no text. Considering that sometimes people just have a day at NYC this type of changed need attention. Thank you Paula Patorniti 2408386497 pfpatorniti@gmail.com
