    Cannot miss this tour!!!
    Outstanding tour of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island led by Daniel. This is a “must do” item on a visit to NYC. Daniel made the history of both of these come alive and was able to use teaching strategies that worked with all age groups and experience levels. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    Amazing Statue of Liberty tour!
    This was a fantastic tour on our recent New York trip, our tour guide Mark was wonderful and very knowledgeable- he really added to the whole experience! Just make sure that you leave enough time to see Ellis Island- we did the two hour tour and this only allowed us to tour Liberty Island as we had other things booked! I’d recommend 3-4 hours to see both Islands.

    Unforgivable experience
    Our guide was named Daniel. If you get him on this tour, you won the lottery. Such a lovely and funny guy, I had a blast during the whoooole tour. This tour I recommend it for anyone visiting New York, worth every penny. It last 2-3hrs and the visit to the Ellis Island is optional but surprisingly almost everyone on my group stayed thanks to Daniel. I will never forget him and the real meaning of the Statue of Liberty.

    Trip to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
    The trip itself was pretty much fine. Not a very pretty day - it poured rain most of the day. The only thing I can suggest is that the tour guide have a flag to hold up to let the group know where they are (there were a lot of people with umbrellas and just a lot of people in general). It was difficult to locate our guide when we got off the ferry at the Statue and Ellis Island since our group was all dispersed on the ferry and we missed half of his tour presentation. Otherwise, I'm usually very satisfied with Trip Advisor's tours!

    Despite the large number of people, everything went smoothly without long waits. I think it's a really must-see program in New York.

    Alvero was fantastic.
    The tour was great. The sights were obviously amazing, but the tour guide Alvero was fantastic. He was a great personality, very informative and helpful and really passionate about the whole story of America, immigration and Ellis island.

    Statue of Liberty/ Ellis Island
    Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour was not rushed and got to see & do what we wanted. The weather was terrible but that wasn’t the guides fault.

Fantastic, Moving, Worthwhile Tour
Nov 2021
My 14 year-old daughter and I took a tour with Debbie Mason, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Such incredible knowledge about the history of NYC, especially the events of 9/11. And she was extremely generous with sharing personal, and painful stories about the 9/11 tragedy. This, combined with her sense of humor, made for a really valuable, memorable, and informative tour. My daughter and I both learned so much in the two short hours, and could have followed Debbie around the city all day with her knowledge, heart, and humor.

Marc has heart
Nov 2021
This was a tour given by Marc Landrum. He had us feel like we were all New Yorkers who had lived through that awful day. The impact on the rescue workers, especially the fire department personnel, was devastating. He really made us feel as though we were walking on sacred ground when we were viewing the memorial reflecting pool and the trees. He also told us of the resilience of New Yorkers and the tribute that they created for those that perished. Great tour!

9/11 Memorial Site Tour
Apr 2022 • Couples
Jim was a GREAT guide! He shared such wonderful perspectives, as well as personal experience about this terrible tragedy. The tour and Jim’s commentary also reinforced the resilience and resolve of New Yorkers to rebuild and create a moving memorial site to honor the victims.

Jim also provided some very interesting history of New York’s founding, along with humor at the appropriate times.

I would definitely recommend this tour!

My only suggestion is that you bring cash to tip. Jim doesn’t do Venmo and I didn’t have any cash to provide him a tip to thank him with a liitle financial gratitude.

Jim! Many thanks to GetYourGuide for hitting every mark on an experience like no other. If you want facts, figures, and historical context delivered by New York's #1 Guide service, book this tour. Yes, our tour guide was that good. Our experience was on-time to the minute (military precision without the drill sergeant) delivered by a personal, passionate, caring group leader. This most valuable use of time connects sights with engaging stories to better understand all that is around is in and near the 9/11 Memorial. Thank you GetYourGuide for easing the process to book and enjoy an epic New York experience; you did not disappoint. Jim - our family is grateful for your good nature, humility, and attempts at humor (wait, you really are funny). Simply stated, you're the best! Many sincere thanks, Jersey travelers with family first-timers in tow.

Not my favorite tour
Nov 2022
While our guide was knowledgeable, it was very difficult to hear him. Need headsets. And he had a notebook full of photos, that were difficult to view as he panned the group . It was an outdoor tour, and some in our group were not dressed warm enough ( it was a 50 degree day) so the tour guide followed their lead, and most of tour was indoors. We spent most of our time inside at Brookfield Place and the Oculus, and the guide pointed out the highlights from a window. Not my favorite tour.

Awesome experience.
Jul 2023 • Family
Absolutely superb. Not only for me with all the stories, anecdotes and history for the US but also incredibly engaging for two teenage/adult boys who are not easily engaged over 2 hours of listening but hung in Jim’s every word. Completely entertained and enlightened. Really impactful tour on so many levels. Would highly recommend.

Walking tour with Debbie M
Nov 2021
The tour guide!

We have 38 entry stamps in our passports, and nearly always used local guides for some or all of the trip. Our NYC guide, Debbie Mason, was one of the best we have ever encountered. She was more than knowledgeable, she spoke from the heart...which is understandable given that she had a direct loss on from that tragedy. She's also a terrific photographer (I dabble in photography so I can appreciate a pro).

I am a born and bred New Yorker and watched the Towers go up, and visited the buildings a few times when I worked in the Wall Street area. I also watched the Towers come down, so this trip (from California) was incredibly meaningful. The memorial is a touchstone everyone should visit, and I hope they have a guide like Debbie.

Great tour
Aug 2022 • Couples
Jim was a great tour guide. Lots of interesting information to share, patience with the group, careful to keep us safe, thoughtful enough to take pictures of each party at various sights, and plenty of corny jokes.
We had several international folks on our tour and I especially appreciated Jim's efforts to make sure they understood the information he was seeking to share.
My feet and back were ready for a rest, but I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
