This tour started at 11:30am. Liberty Island was fantastic. You only really need an hour here to take photos unless you have booked to go to the top of Liberty. We only had 20 minutes on Ellis Island (as we had to get back to the ferry for the 9/11 museum by last entry time of 1530) which was no time at all so we didn’t get to see any of the exhibits there. I would have liked to spend a couple of hours here. Again, we only had 90 minutes at the 9/11 museum and weren’t even half way through when we were told that it closes at 5pm and had to rush through. It was then going dark when we went to look at the 9/11 memorial pools. The guide was great at getting us to the front of the queues for the ferry. I would recommend that this tour start at 0830 to get the most out of the day.

I really enjoyed learning about the history of lower Manhattan, the history of the Statue of Liberty, and of Ellis Island. Leanne our guide was awesome and animated and really brought the history alive.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tours were great. The booking department failed to send me tickets for the 911 memorial. We had to purchase a second set of tickets to visit the memorial. Very poor follow-up on the booking agency to ensure the tickets were sent to us. The guide said that the booking agency should have emailed the tickets. Also, they advertise a no-fee cancelation policy before 24 hours. We got delayed and had to move our tour date back one day. We tried to change the dates within 48 hours. They charged us $30.00 extra to change the date back one day. False advertising.
