Sara was a wonderful guide—so warm, engaging, and funny! Her incredible storytelling truly brought the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island to life. She was highly attentive, made sure every person in the group felt included, and was sweet enough to take great photos of us along the way. Highly recommend

Mike was excellent. Very welcoming engaging and knowledgeable. Kept the tour paced perfectly and ensure we covered everything in a timely manner with additional information. While the ferry is doable individually I highly recommend doing the guided tour

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Dan was informative, thought provoking, and entertaining. Please consider having signage or other designation for the meeting point. Becasue of others with other interests (in selling their tours or just boat tickets), we were incorrectly directed. The directions contained in the confirmation email are not precise enough, if you dont know the area at all.

The guide Joseph was both informative and entertaining at the same time. His knowledge of Liberty Island and Ellis Island is second to none.
