My recent trip to the Statue of Liberty was a wonderful experience. The ferry ride offered beautiful views of the New York skyline, and seeing the Statue up close was truly breathtaking. The museum provided interesting historical facts, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting New York and book the tickets through head out.

The Museum of 'emigration is of definite interest Also good is the film. Less good is the audio guide commentary that sometimes trivializes the theme with superficial comments. A bit complicated receiving tickets after payment. Your app confuses between new offerings and the excursion already paid for.

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.

    Tickets that were advertised as Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island only allowed us to walk around the exterior of the Statue of Liberty, disappointing.

    Very short wait times for boat. Statue of liberty museum has no air conditioning. It was too hot to spend much time in there.
