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 tour guide, Mindy, was excellent. She was well informed and treated everyone with respect. She answered children's questions as well as adults. She had a good sense of himor and made the afternoon fly by. I highly recommend her and would take another tour with her.

Dan the tour guide. He was great. Learned so much from him that I never would have picked up through other means. Really worked on having us imagine being in shoes of arriving immigrants when we went to Ellis Island

The crew was excellent. The music was really good and perfectly appropriate for the boat ride. Our tour guide Darius was the best. He really knew his history and was very friendly, very funny, and helpful, and best of all, he was an excellent singer and he sang "New York, New York" perfectly at the end of the tour on the way back to the pier!
