Great walking tour of Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

Published on Feb, 2025

John was a great tour guide who helped with providing a lot of great guidance and history for both the State of Liberty and Ellis Island. It was a great opportunity to hear more, have assistance with navigating the ferry system, and provide great photo ops. Highly recommended.

A great way to check of the NY list!

We had fun! Even though its was cold. Marla was a fantastic tour guide. Her story telling and comedic timing really made the history surrounding the statue and islands fun and the cold more bearable. I would definitely recommend.

Liberty and Ellis Island

Published on Jan, 2025

This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip We met some friendly fellow travellers. Liberty and Ellis Island you were both amazing. Unfortunately we never got the chance to say goodbye to a lovely Brazilian family we met. We must've got on a different ferry home. If you're reading this it was lovely to meet you all. Good luck to your smart boy about to study medicine. David and katie (Scottish couple) x

Excellent Two Hour Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Booking with Viator was the best decision! Communication starts immediately and is so helpful! The walking tour was 2 hours which included the ferry ride etc. Our guide was cheery, intelligent, knowledgeable and just fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour. Even on a brisk January morning, the crowds were less and the experience was fantastic.

A must do one

Our guide Joe was awesome. He was friendly and very considerate - he always looked for sunny spots in the freezing cold when explaining things . He documented everything with pictures he carried with him in binders. He made this visite really worthwhile doing. Highly recommend this tour with Joe !!
