Had fun learned a lot ferry ride was smooth nice weather. Very long lines to get on ferry boat but it went fast .

We took the guided tour of Liberty and Ellis Island. It was very fast paced and you had to deal with the crowds, but our tour guide Leeann’s was amazing. She got us through the crowds like an expert and we learned soooo much. You can certainly go to the islands on your own, but if you really want to learn about our nations history, pay extra for the guided tour. We did a lot in NYC during our visit, but our trip to the two islands with our tour guide was my favorite!

Unfortunately we had an awful experience. The tour was not professionally run. We were ushered to the front of a line where people had been waiting, and were clearly upset at the entrance of fifteen people in front of them. The man disappeared when we got there. The police were irate, no one was speaking up about what was going on. The ticket was twice as expensive than buying it there. I would strongly encourage you to skip this one. Not well done at all. Terribly uncomfortable experience.

Nina was a great tour guide! My 7 y.o. and I enjoyed it and learned a lot about Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

My Daughter was visiting NY for the first time so this was a must see, we continued on to the 9/11 Memorial museum and times square, then road the train from grand central station home. Nina was an amazing tour guide to have for the first part of our day. We both learned a lot and appreciated her knowledge.

Too many people too many vendors selling the same tour makes for a mass confusion and chaos at the ferry terminal. Also the cruise and tour is problematic in it of its self because you pay as a tourist like myself to go see both the liberty island and Ellis island, however nothing is disclosed to you regarding the last ferry to take you to Ellis island was at 3:30pm yesterday and so I missed it and thereby paid for a service or experience that was not provided. I'd like to get my money back if at all possible. It was a nightmare having to go find who or what tour guide by a specific Starbucks to meet up with and escort you through the entrance - just an all around problematic, stressful, and bad experience in general. I will never buy a ticket with you guys to the statue ever again.

Terrible. This was a scam. “Tour guide” gathered everyone across the street from battery park & walked us to the main line to get on a ferry and then left us. That was it. No guided tour & no additional experiences. Worst of all these tickets were $99 each and regular ticket prices were $50.
