Alex was a great tour guide. He knew the history of the Statue of Liberty very well. If any takes the two hour tour hopefully it is with Alex so you will have a great experience.

Brian was great! He was extremely friendly and funny and knowledgeable. He took time to engage everyone on the tour and answer all questions. Loved his “closing story” … it really added something special to the tour.
