The entire experience was meaningful. Emma, the tour guide, did a fantastic job of sharing the history in an enthusiastic and engaging manner. I would love to take any tour that she leads!

Charlie was a great historian and extremely enthusiastic about the birth of our country.. I really enjoy the humor he used during the tour and he often required crowd participation he made it a very interesting tour ā€¦he also was a very kind man that went above and beyond I was in Newyork city with my mother for her birthday who is handicapped and he really made her experience feel like she was vip he took very good care of us putting us at the front of the lines and keeping our safety a priority. He made us feel very safe during our tour although she had some limitations in what she could do physically Charlie made us feel like we were still part of the group ā€¦I would recommend this tour to all my friends visiting newyork and wanna visit Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty !!!

This was my husbandā€™s favorite experience from our trip to NYC. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and a gifted speaker (you could definitely tell he was a trained actor!!!). We could have absolutely just bought tickets and headed over on our own, but he helped point out so many details that we would have missed and he really educated us on the process that went into creating this exceptional piece of art and symbol of freedom. If we were to do it again, I would probably do the longer tour that included history of Ellis Island.
