Private Freiheitsstatue und Ellis Island Tour

This tour was very interesting and our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable about the history of both sites. He was friendly and fun.

Maddie, our guide was great! She was knowledgeable, told us a lot of fun facts and just a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Maddie!!

Maddy was a brilliant guide - we learned so much. Definitely the right approach.

Michael was great. He knew a lot about both islands and I feel very informed.

Very knowledgeable guide, great personality

Thank you, Cora, or being such a friendly and knowledgeable guide! The stories that you told taught us much more than we'd have learned from a self-guided tour.

Our tour guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and informative and allowed us to customize our day. The rainy weather didn’t faze him while he presented many facts about all parts of our tour. Patrick was very engaging and enthusiastic about the information he presented. Thanks Patrick for making our tour a very special part of our trip to NYC.

We had an incredible tour with one of the most knowledgeable guides we’ve ever experienced! Patrick was absolutely perfect for the two of us and brought an impressive amount of bonus material from his portfolio to enrich our experience as we explored each site. He answered all of our questions, engaged us in fascinating and in-depth historical discussions, helped us navigate around the crowds, took photos for us, and went above and beyond in so many ways. The day was everything we had hoped for—and so much more. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better experience!

Our tour of Liberty & Ellis Islands was a very worthwhile and enjoyable endeavor. Our guide, Michael with Top Dog Tours, was great. His experience with the ferries availed us of several strategies to place us in position to avoid long lines and instead devote more time to experience the sights. His knowledge of the Statue of Liberty, from its inception by Laboulaye to final assembly on Bedloe’s Island, was very impressive. He set the stage for the tour by taking us back to New York City of the mid 1800’s. And he was able to answer our many questions. We would use him again for other tours of the City.
