Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island was very good. Visit to 9/11 memorial was very humbling. Go to the museum as well worth the effort. Been done superbly by the organisers and sets just about the right tone although harrowing it does provide somewhere to respect those who lost their lives in the right way.

Only grip was that tour operator was just not that interesting. Very flat monotone. Hate to have to say it but spending a whole day on this tour we really wanted someone a bit more upbeat!

Kevin did a great job guiding us on our tour. He is very knowledgeable, a true history buff. We added the 911 museum and one World Trade Center to our tour. It made for an extremely long day. Be prepared to walk a lot. I suggest breaking this up into 2 days.

This tour was really good! Our tour guide, Kevin, was the best, he was very knowledgeable about the history of the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center. He was very accommodating and the tour was not fast paced, Kevin took his time and the walking was also paced, nothing too rigorous. But do make sure to dress appropriate for the weather and very good walking shoes because it is an 8-9 hour tour from 9AM-5PM.

Our day started out with a quick check-in in front of Starbucks, and once the groups were formed, we were given an audio headset to hear the tour guide clearly, which was great because I noticed that other tour guides from other walking tours did not and people were having difficulty hearing them etc, but not with these headsets! There are 2 security checkpoints before entering the Statue of Liberty, which did take a while to go through but not too long. Also, if you do not want to struggle through buying a 2 locker and spending time locking your things away, make sure to not bring backpacks, large umbrellas, and water bottles because security will not let you in unless you lock your stuff away.

Once we got into the Statue of Liberty, Kevin explained everything that we needed to know about the Statue of Liberty and we probably spent 2 hours there, oh and be prepared to walk 5 floors of stairs to get to the pedestal, but there is the option to take the elevator. We then boarded the ferry to Ellis Island and the Immigration Museum, which was a beautiful moment to experience. After a quick tour, we had a 1.5-hour break and we met back at St. Paul's Chapel on our own and continued the afternoon portion of the walking tour to the World Trade Center with Kevin.

It was nice to learn about St. Paul's Chapel's role in the aftermath of the attacks. Kevin was very knowledgeable about every place in the walking tour. I did not do the 9/11 Museum nor the One World Observatory because after a long tour we needed to rest for the entire day.
