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.

Kenny was such a vibey person, he really gave us every piece of information we wanted to know about it all, he was also just a really fun person to have as a tour guide. Meeting Avery was personally my favourite part of the tour and she had inspired me to audition one day.

Lot's of new information about the Rockefeller buildings. Our guide was really enthusiastic and well prepared. It would be better if the tour would contain the observation desk.

Great but sad experience!!!! We wanted to honor those you experienced 911 first hand, but we never realized how many layers there were to this tragedy. We appreciate the work that went into this exhibition and will encourage others to visit, also.

We particularly liked the dynamism of the guide (Selena) and her anecdotes about the history of MSQ, as well as the possibility of accessing the ground at the foot of the pitch. We were unable to access the changing rooms (match day), which was not indicated when we booked. The price was not lowered despite the fact that we were unable to access these areas.
