The tour of both islands were great! Booking the tickets early was a mistake as I overpaid for both tickets when I could have just both them on site.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. It is a shame you would leave such a poor review and feel the tour should have been free. The price you paid is for the entire experience. The ferry ticket is incorporated into that total price. There is only one boat that is allowed to dock at the islands and everyone visiting takes that ferry. With the tour we procure those tickets in advance which allows for a far better use of the guest's time as that ticket line can take hours and during busy times is often sold out. Thank you for pointing this out so it can be made clear to others the value that is added by visiting the Statue of Liberty with a guided tour.
