We had such a great day on this tour, saw well more than we thought we would and learned more than we thought possible. I think our day was about 5.5 hours total, not including our transportation to/from our hotel. It is definitely a lot of walking, I would recommend bringing some snacks/water in a backpack as other than snacks on the ferry you won't have a chance to get anything to eat. The best pictures of the Statue of Libery and NYC Skyline are of course on the ferry - so plan for that. People rush to find a seat on the ferry, but you may as well stay out on the deck so that you can take pictures. Tip your guide! I noticed other patrons didn't tip or didn't tip much and I thought that was super rude - TIP!!!

Thank you for joining us. The best complement for a tour guide is tip and thank you for recognizing this. The best compliment for the future passengers is taking the time to write reviews so they can better understand the tour. Thank you

I feel totally taken advantage of by Tripp Advisor even though Ellis Island is a really cool place. Our small group tour was not small-well over 25 people with a terrible French leader named Sebastian who mostly geared his talk to a young child or the 2 French Speaking tourists. We could not hear him most of the time, his teaching style of asking questions was time wasteful and uninformative. He had no flag or way of finding him and we eventually gave up trying. I thought I was buying tickets for $79 and only today found out they were really $130. Shocking rip off.

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the tour with Sebastian. He happens to be a long term tour guide and many passengers request him. Everyone has a difference preference. Please contact us to see if you are still in NY. We would love to accommodate you.
