Luke our guide was excellent. He moved us along at a perfect speed. His knowledge of the statue was great.

Luke, our tour guide, just exuded energy and was extremely approachable and friendly. His knowledge and the way he articulated everything in his storytelling manner made it possible for my mother, whose second language is English, to understand most of what was being told. The way he ties in previously mentioned historical facts to points later on in the tour was masterfully done. In addition, Luke knew all the hacks to getting on the ferry early, where to stand, and when to start making your way to the exit. We most definitely used that when we departed Ellis Island after he left us at the conclusion of the tour. Thanks Luke and Top Dog Tours for a wonderful experience!

Our tour guide Luke was very knowledgeable of the area and history. At the end of our tour he took an earlier ferry back while we got to stay and tour Ellis Island the last stop of our tour. Luke thought we'd need about 30 minutes, we took longer than that and could have stayed even longer to take in all the rooms so I would say allow yourselves time, we needed to return to our hotel to get ready for an early dinner and broadway show but the overall experience was great.
