I think the title of this tour is somewhat misleading. It is called ā€œSecrets of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island,ā€ but most of the information is available by reading the information available to all visitors on displays and plaques. I was hoping the tour would go deeper than easily available information, but it did not. Our tour guide was Charles. He knew all of the information he shared forward and backward. He was kind, professional, and spoke loudly so that I could even hear him easily over the rain. He did a great job, I was just hoping for more content.

Our tour was on one of our coldest days in NY. The blue skies belied the wind chill factor on the islands, which certainly adding to the tour's "atmosphere". Ben is an enthusiastic guide. His stories were interesting and interactive and there was plenty of time for photos. Recommended.
