What To Expect

Statue of Liberty

Meet your tour guide in the heart of Times Square and board your Statue of Liberty Express tour bus to the Statue of Liberty located in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. Your tour guide will escort you to an express VIP reserve ferry line to board the Statue of Liberty ferry boat. Enjoy early access to Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty Pedestal and the Pedestal Museum before the Island get crowded. Your tour will be of the grounds of the statue unless you opt for the pedestal access upgrade. Once you complete tour of Liberty Island, your guide will escort you to the Ellis Island Ferry where you will see the Ellis Island museum which opened in 1892 as a federal immigration state for more than 60 years before closing in 1954. Millions of immigrants passed through the station during that time; it is thought that at least 40% of all current United States citizens can trace one or more of their ancestors to Ellis Island. You will receive some individual time to trace a family member at the museum. You will return with your guide on the ferry back to Battery Park where you will be escorted through the memorials and fixtures over to the 911 Memorial. You will then board your Statue of Liberty Express bus back to Midtown Manhattan.

I rated this tour as a "1" but ONLY because the tour itself says it is from Midtown, and says it will pick you up in Time's Square. I based my hotel off the pickup point so we could walk there easily. A week before we left, i found out that, because we were the only ones from that area that had booked the trip, you would not come to pick us up. therefore, i had to endure $100 worth of cab rides to and from 24 State Street. There is a disclaimer burrie3d in you site that states this, but it should most definitely be more prominent or change the name of the tour. I will be putting a review on other sites as well, as having to spend an additional $100 due to being misled is ridiculous. The tour guide Nina was actually very good and i have no complaints about the tour itself or the tour guide.

The only memorable part was our excellent tour guide Vivian. She has a wealth of knowledge on history of the sites we visited and was very patient in answering our questions. Full 5 stars for her. The terrible part was that while I had spent the extra dollars to be picked up from Manhattan midtown, no one picked us up. I had to spend again and travel to a new pickup spot at the very last moment. I hope viator provides partial refund.
