The entire excursion was terrific. David our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a walking historian. He was also very personable which made us feel most comfortable. He took the time at the end of the tour to ensure everyone had directions to their choice of locations. He provided us the name and directions to the oldest and his favorite pizza restaurant in NYC.

Having been born NYC and having 1 prior rip to the Statue of Liberty, unaware of needing to purchase a ticket to the pedestal was the stimulation to this tour. Cesar was a magnificent guide full of enthusiasm and knowledge! Ellis island, on this tour should be considered an appetizer. It requires an entire day to explore in greater depth.
Cesar has the qualities of a magnificent guide! Great day, wonderful experience.

Caesar, our guide, was brilliant - informative and entertaining. While this tour covers three distinct parts, for me there was too much time at the Statue of Liberty and not enough at Ellis Island. Ellis Island seemed to have more to offer and the time there was very rushed.
The walking tour of the 9/11 Memorial was well done.
If you only have a limited time in New York to see things, this tour will definitely suit you. However if you do have extra time I would suggest doing less in one day to get better quality time at both Ellis Island and the down town area.
