We were in New York City for Christmas week and hit all the major sites. We took the ferry over to liberty Island and spent a couple hours going through the museum and walking around the island. Definitely something that you want to see them plan for enough time. From there, the ferry takes you to Ellis Island. There is way more to do Ellis Island than we had ever imagined. We spent about three hours going through the history and museum sections of Ellis Island, and still did not see a large portion of the exhibits. Depending on your interest level of history, you could plan to spend a good half a day or longer here. I had no idea that there was so much history and so much to see on Ellis Island

Enjoyed it. Saw everything i wanted to. Wasn't rushed. Our guide Nikola was very informative. Great way to see the statue of liberty and Ellis Island

It was very cool, but there’s like five layers of security like one security for everything seagulls attack you for having a piece of food out and the drum place final part is the lines in the boat wide is like five hours

amazing tour host and trip. Loved it. Had a great day. Was an extremely cold day , chill factor - 20 but our tour guide was excellent so we braved outside to listen to him and then he kindly took photos for us to remember our great day . Thank you

I found a great deal on Groupon for this guided tour during our visit for the new year. About four of us went for about $55 which was a good deal I thought. It was a guided boat tour to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. It was very cold and windy due to the fact of the time of year plus we were right on the water we almost froze to death while waiting in line, lol. The tour guide which was the captain of the boat was very nice and explaining everything as we rode along and he made sure that both sides of passengers got a chance to view the Statue of Liberty and take plenty of pictures and videos he did a very good job explaining he was very hospitable and nice to everybody. Even though it was freezing we were glad to get on the boat which we chose to sit on the bottom as they had a refreshment stand on the bottom that included hot chocolate drinks and warm fresh pop popcorn

The experience was amazing. I enjoyed all the background information that the guide shared. Seeing what everyone had to go through to enter America was very enlightening.

Absolutely fantastic tour….our guide Mike was incredibly knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. We also loved how he was conscious of other people enjoying the sites. A true gentleman! Didn’t feel rushed at all and had plenty time to explore on our own too and take lots of photos. Highly recommend.

We went a few days before the Macy’s day parade and it was LIFE altering! A marching band from Jonesboro GA ( who was in the parade) came over to play at the base of the statue …(unbeknownst to us) . It felt like a movie !! So patriotic…

Our tour guide acted like he didn’t really care about us. He would walk super far away and then realize that he left us behind. His outfit was not a good first impression and when we went through security he took his belt off and didn’t put it on till we got on the boat, his pants were falling down. He did a presentation in the museum and he had previously told us he would not be able to talk about anything in the museum but it looks like he broke that rule. We were not informed that it would be a personal tour and were a little bit upset. He didn’t know where the exit to security and where restrooms were.

Very inspirational - learned things we never knew. Our guide, Daniel, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Well worth the time!

Cece met us at the meeting point and was very helpful. Then Marley was our guide. We were looking so forward to this excursion and were not disappointed. We learned a lot and since our guide was from the area she was able to add extra bits of info along the way. The Statue is as pretty as I had imagined, we did not go up inside, but the workmanship was extraordinary. At Ellis Island we experience such a reverence for what the immigrants of the time experienced.

A wonderful day with a witty and funny guide the meeting point was a little difficult as I use an electric wheelchair and I couldn’t find the meeting point but got there in the end. The guide was full of knowledge and that made it special. The weather was perfect and the boat trip was perfect thanks for a wonderful day

Having been to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island multiple times, this is the first time with a guide. Jimmy Hoffman (chicken man) was beyond knowledgeable as well as entertaining and personable. Five ⭐all the way!

Great your Sara did a wonderful job and leads great tour with fun, enthusiastic knowledge she was awesome and lead the group with great passion and energy

We had the most amazing day with Joseph as our guide! He was funny, informative, and welcoming. We learnt such a lot. We loved how friendly he was but also the tips he gave us for getting around quickly. Super helpful. We’d definitely use him as our guide again, Thankyou!
