The guide’s explanations and comments were fun and informational. I liked that we had some time for the Statue of Liberty pictures but had there been more people the time would not have been sufficient for people to take some good pictures. The worst part was that there wes no outside seating and that frankly made the trip far less enjoyable. All this should be in the description when booking.

We didn't expect to be send to the end of the line with our little boy who is 2 years old on such a hot weather. Also, it would be ok to increase the time spent near the statue.

Had complete 1 hour fun with family. Instead of walking to every points, the ferry was worth the money and time to view all the important spots in one go. Light raindrops and the weather was added more fun to the tour. The guide was very informative explaining the important buildings and spots. They stop for extra minutes near Statue of Liberty to click pictures. It was a clear and close. Best skyline view of NYC and NJ.
