★★★★★Viator review
Great tour - highly recommend!
Carla_B, October 2026
This was a fantastic tour. It was well-paced, and we had flexibility to spend time on our own at both Liberty and Ellis Islands. Ellis Island in particular was really interesting to see. Because it was the last stop of the tour I was able to spend a couple of hours there exploring, which was absolutely worthwhile. My tour guide was Christian and he was fantastic - so informative and knowledgeable, able to answer random questions thrown out by the group, and incredibly engaging in his delivery. I highly recommend this tour.
