We done this tour with New York Tours 1, tour guide was mike. Started off with a 20 minute queue for the ferry, we did have fast track tickets too and we got the first ferry of the day. The normal entrance queue was absolutely massive so we were lucky. Mike the tour guide was very informative and passionate about the tour we was taking, answering everyoneās questions and giving us lots of history and facts about the Statue of Liberty when we were in the queue.
First stop was liberty island, Mike helped us move swiftly through all the security checkpoints. He then took us to the museum and talked us through all the history of the Statue of Liberty.
You then get given 40 minutes to go up the pedestal of the statue and outside around the statue to take in the views and get all the pics you want.
Next stop is Ellis island where your taken into the main building which used to be the hub of immigration to the USA for many decades. Your given a tour around the building and an insight into what the immigrants went through for citizenship.
All in all this was a fantastic tour with a great insight into the history of the Statue of Liberty and immigration into America.
Mike the tour guide was excellent, this is a highly recommended tour.
