Excellent and well worth booking.

Our guide Matthew was extremely enthusiastic and helpful, he showed us all the important things we wanted to see and gave us time to explore on our own. He gave us tips on how to negotiate the underground for our trip around the city once we had completed our guided tour.

Apart from the Crowd

Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable in telling the immigrant story as the story of America. His sharing his own family's history through the island was enriching.

Must-see

First take your boat tickets well in the site planned, sellers offer you outside, not to do!!!! For my part no interest in stopping at the statue, you can see it very well from the boat The ellis island museum on immigration is top to do without hesitation and prices are reasonable

Excellent guide

Three of us took this tour with Colin, a very entertaining and knowledgeable guide. We had as little or as much time as we wanted to also explore independently. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a good introduction to these iconic landmarks.

This is a MUST!

Robert is unbelievably knowledgable and enthusiastic with EVERYTHING he does! Going through NYC with him on one of his tours truly gives you a completely different perspective of the City. We did: Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the private 9/11 tour, one word - WOW. Infusing his own personal experiences, stories & knowledge within the tour truly makes it one of a kind and more importantly, world class. Robert went to incredible lengths to make sure we were comfortable, hydrated and even went out of his way to take some amazing photos for us! Would highly recommend Robert to anyone visiting NYC, whether its your first time or 10th time to New York 10/10
