Good tour, very informative. A lot of information. Good if you are strapped for time and want to see a lot.

Great tour but I wish we had more time at Ellis Island. We had to move fast as our tickets to 911 memorial had a hard cut off of 3:30 so we only got 30 minutes at Ellis.

Total waste of money & time - this time around. I actually took this tour about four years ago and it was amazing due entirely to the tour guide’s professionalism and ability to keep the crowd’s attention while providing historical facts about the sites we actually paid to hear about. Unfortunately, our guide on this tour (Loretta) wasted time with her own commentary and opinions on topics from slavery to billionaires, politics, expensive real estate, crime, drama about men’s bathrooms, and the last straw for us was standing on Liberty Island when we were on a time crunch and hearing her skewed knowledge of the NYC skyline and again, opinions while she demonstrated the “tantrums” she thinks occurred in order to get things get done. Very bizarre. Even the information that was accurate was always accompanied with her personal commentary. We actually just ended up going our own way. It was just an awfully uncomfortable and expensive experience.

Every tour guide has their own style of giving the tour. Loretta happens to be a professional guide and does get 5 star reviews. I am sorry you did not enjoy her style and if you remember the guides name from several years ago we would be happy to put you on a tour with them.
